Chimneys
Having a fireplace installed can be simple if you choose a gas insert, or more complex for a traditional wood-burning option. For a traditional fireplace, a professional mason builds the chimney and hearth, including the chimney foundation and stack. Then fireplace installers put in the firebox and liner. Maintaining the fireplace includes cleaning the firebox of ash and buildup, yearly professional chimney cleaning, and repair of any broken or damaged masonry. For gas fireplace installation, the contractor can cut out the area for the insert, run electric and gas lines, and build a vent. Then the insert can be installed. Maintaining a gas fireplace involves cleaning the glass front and trim, checking for damage around the fireplace or vent, and having a professional repair it if needed.
Additional Services
Plumbing
Plumbing maintenance can help prevent leaks, water damage, and high water bills. It can also prevent minor problems from escalating into major repairs. Check exposed pipes and appliances for leaks regularly, keep drains clear, and be careful what you flush to avoid clogs. It's also important to have your water heater serviced and septic system inspected regularly. Protect your plumbing during cold weather is also a must.
Foundations
Your home may need foundation repair if the outside of your home shows crack in the bricks or foundation, separation around the garage door or windows, or wall rotation. Inside your home, if you notice misaligned doors and windows, cracks in floors or sheetrock, or uneven floors, you may need foundation repairs. Foundation repair involves adding supports and raising sunken portions of the home. Sometimes you can simply stabilize the foundation where it currently is and prevent further damage.
Masonry
Masonry involves using bricks or stones and mortar to build walls, chimneys, and more. Over time the materials may break down, and you'll need to hire a professional to repair the structure. Masonry repair consists of filling cracks in the wall, repairing leaning walls, and replacing protruding bricks. It's important to address any masonry issues right away so they don't compromise the structure of your home.
Concrete
Concrete walks and patios provide an easy-to-use, non-slip surface for guests on your property. Concrete needs less maintenace than other materials and is extremely durable, and stamped concrete can boost curb appeal by imitating the appearance of other materials. With a concrete patio you can avoid the frequent staining and sealing that wood decks need, and installation is quick and affordable.
Interior Walls
Interior walls create privacy in your home, support the house structure, and provide a place for wires, pipes, and other systems. Interior wall construction can create new spaces and entails framing, insulation, and drywall. Interior wall repair is often simply a matter of patching drywall damage, sanding, and painting the area to match the surrounding wall.
Handyman
Some contractors offer handyman services, giving you the confidence that a professional is taking care of your home repair needs, such as drywall repair, painting, gutter cleaning, installation of doors or accessibility aids, and more. Before you have a handyman do specialized work, like handling water damage, structural repair, or electrical, be sure they are properly qualified and insured.
Carpenty
There are multiple types of home carpentry, which involves using wood to build everything from framing to cabinets to small decorative details. A carpenter can help you with custom woodworking, finish carpentry, cabinetry, new wall construction, and more.
Additions
Home additions can add significant livable space to your property, but they are not DIY projects. Professionals can help you with bedroom or sun room additions, adding a floor to your home, or indoor patio additions. Be sure you choose an experienced contractor with appropriate licensing and insurance to get the job done right.
Excavation
Excavation work removes soil, sod, rocks, and other material to make way for new construction. Excavation may also be required when repairing septic systems or when regrading property. The right professionals make excavation as quick and painless as possible and clean up completely when finished.
New Construction
New construction can be a great way to get the exact home layout and materials you want, and it's also a good way to add to your livable property by building an addition. Single-family home construction allows you to work directly with professionals to pick out every detail of your new property, and remodeling uses new construction to improve or add to your home.
