Roofing Services
Roof Replacement
A roof replacement involves fully removing the shingles and underlayment on your roof to reveal the decking. The decking will be inspected and repaired, if needed, and then new underlayment will be laid to protect the decking from water. Next, the shingles are put on, which may consist of asphalt, metal, composite, or another material. You can also choose between 3-tab, architecural, and luxury shingles, based on your budget and preferred style.
Roof Repair
If your roof is damaged or leaking and is less than 15 years old, a roof repair can be more practical than full replacement. Common repairs include replacement of shingles and/or fascia boards, patching leaks, and fixing improperly installed flashing.
New Roof
During new roof installation, your home gets a new underlayment and shingles over the roof decking. You can choose between 3-tab and architectural shingles, which can be made of asphalt, wood, composite, metal, or another material. New roofs last 20-30 years for less expensive materials, while slate, copper, or tile can last 50 years or longer.
Shingles
The shingles on your home are both protective and decorative. These overlapping pieces of asphalt, wood, clay, slate, metal, or composite materials create a waterproof barrier that protects your home from the elements. They are available in multiple colors and include 3-tab, architecural, or luxury varieties. Asphalt shingles are the most common and budget-friendly, while clay, wooden, or composite shingles can add character and style to your home.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing can be made of aluminum, copper, corrugated metal, or stone-coated steel. It's very long-lasting, durable, and energy efficient, making it a popular roofing material for both residential and commercial buildings.
Tile Roofing
Tile roofing is attractive, durable, and environmentally friendly. Tiles are made from slate, clay, or concrete, and are an excellent choice for buildings in hot areas or those exposed to salt air near the ocean. However, tile is a more expensive roof material and is also very heavy.
Membrane Roofing
Membrane roofing is easy to install and cost effective. It's used for flat or low-sloping roofs, which are largely on commercial buildings. There are three types, EPDM, TPO, and PVC, which are different types of material used to create the membrane. Maintenance includes regular cleaning, inspection for damage, and prompt repairs of any issues.
Roof Inspection
A roof inspection may be required by your homeowner's insurance, or you may get an inspection to check for damage before deciding on roof repair or replacement. During a roof inspection, a professional will look at the shingles, flashing, gutters, and more to determine the condition of the roof and provide an estimate on how long it may be until you need replacement. Some inspectors will climb on the roof for a physical inspection, while others will make an assessment from the ground. Others will use more advanced drone or infrared technologies. Regular inspections may be included in the homeowner's routine roof maintenance.
Flat Roofing
Flat roofing isn't truly flat, it's very lowly sloped and appears almost flat. It's common in commercial buildings because it's energy efficient and an easy and cost-effective way to roof a very large area. There are three types of flat roofing systems: membrane roofing, built-up roofing, and modified bitumen roofing. Flat roofs are challenging to maintain in cold weather and need to be replaced more often than sloped roofs.
Insulation
Proper home insulation helps keep your home comfortable and lowers heating and cooling bills. Attic insulation helps keep summer heat contained and winter cold out, while basement insulation helps keep heat and cold from seeping in through the foundation. Common insulation materials include fiberglass, celulose, spray foam, and foam board.
Additional Services
Window Installation
The type of window installation that's best for your home depends on the age, condition, and exterior materials of your house and existing window. Full-frame window installation includes a new window, frame, sill, and internal and external trim. The new window is sealed and insulated during the install. Pocket installation involves replacing the window and keeping the current frame, and is fast and affordable.
Window Repair
Window replacement entails removing the old window and installing a new one. Consider window replacement when the seals start to leak or fail, there's visible glass damage, condensation forms inside or between panes, or the windows are hard to open and close. You can also replace windows to improve insulation, energy efficiency, and UV protection.
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.
Electrical
Your electrical system is the backbone of your home, powering major systems and appliances, and it's important to ensure your electrical system is safe and updated. Consider getting regular electrical inspections, updating electric panels, and investing in energy-saving appliances and lightbulbs. If you have an older home, you may need to update the entire electrical system to keep your family safe.
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls can be helpful for preventing soil erosion, improving drainage, and adding interest to landscaping. The type of wall depends on your goals, the type of soil, and what will be above and below the wall. Retaining walls can be made of stones, bricks, steel, or treated wood.
Finishing
Choosing attractive wall finishing helps add interest and style to your home. There are multiple types of finishing, including a textured wall finish, wallpaper, 3D designs, cladding such as shiplap or stone veneers, or even mirrors. Finishing is a great way to create an accent wall or express your unique style throughout your home.
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.
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.
Flooring
The wide variety of colors and materials available for home flooring allow you to design your home to reflect your lifestyle and personality. Whether you choose hardwood flooring, engineered hardwood, laminate, luxury vinyl, tile, or even carpet, your flooring can be beautiful, durable, and perfect for your personal space.
Decks
An outdoor deck adds function and value to your home. There are many styles of decks, including attached, wrap-around, detached, multi-tier, and a swimming pool or hot tub deck. Decking can be made of wood, composite materials, or PVC. Deck building can be complex depending on the materials and style, so it's a good idea to hire a professional.
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.
Painting
Exterior and interior painting can refresh and protect your home. Exterior painting not only increases curb appeal, but it can also extend the life of siding and help prevent termite, mold, and sun damage. Interior painting is an easy way to personalize your space, add appeal, make your walls cleaner, and hide marks and repaired damage.
Cleaning
Cleaning and washing your home is generally done with power washing. Power washing removes harmful elements like mold and mildew, increases curb appeal, and can reveal any necessary repairs to your siding. While you're cleaning, consider hiring help with yard cleaning and junk removal as well to fully refresh your exterior!
Appliances
Getting new appliances is exciting, but it's important to have them installed correctly to avoid problems with electrical or plumbing connections. Bathtub or faucet installation without proper waterproofing can result in serious water damage, and having a gas stove installed without proper gas line connections can be deadly. Always work with a professional to ensure appliances are installed safely and correctly.
HVAC
Your heating and air conditioning, or HVAC system, helps keep your home comfortable and safe. Annual HVAC maintenance is essential to keep your system running efficiently and to catch concerns before they become costly repairs. A professional can clean coils, elements, and drains and inspect the unit for problems. It's also a good idea to get regular duct cleaning to keep air clean and moving smoothly.
Garages
Garages not only protect your car from the weather, they also provide storage, keep your car safer, and add value to your home. They don't take much upkeep other than cleaning and occasional maintenance on garage doors. Professionals can help you with garage installation, upgrades to your storage or floor surface, and more.
Basements
Finished basements add more space to your home and boost your property value. A basement can provide space for a home theater, an office, workout space, or an entertainment area. It's important to hire professionals for basement remodeling to ensure you get proper permits, effective waterproofing, and safe installation of fixtures and appliances.
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.
