Roofing Services
Gutters
During gutter installation, professional roofers will remove the old gutters and downspouts from the eaves and brackets and check for damage such as rotted or failing boards and facia. From there, they will measure for new gutters, install them, and put on new downspouts and elbows. Finally, they'll clean the area and leave your home ready for the next rainstorm!
Soffits
Soffits and facia are more than just nice trim -- they help protect your roof. The soffit is below the overhang at the edge of the roof and protects the home from water under the eaves while providing ventilation for the attic. The facia runs alongside the roof overhang and supports the shingles and gutter system. They are generally made of the same material as your home siding and need regular inspection to watch for deterioration.
Waterproofing
Roof waterproofing can provide an extra layer of protection against leaks in case shingles or other parts of the roof get damaged. Professional roofers will lay a base sheet or membrane under the usual underlayment and shingles. They'll also check the flashing around the vents, chimney, and skylights. If you have a flat roof, liquid membranes can be applied to improve waterproofing.
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.
Siding
Home siding generally lasts 10-15 years. You may need to hire a professional to fix or replace siding if you notice cracks, warps, blisters, bubbles, fungus, or mold. Repairs or replacement may also be warranted if you have severe fading or signs of internal moisture on walls. You can also upgrade your siding to improve insulation and reduce heating and cooling bills or to transition to a material that is easier to maintain.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Drywall
Drywall is generally easy to maintain. Drywall cleaning is as simple as dusting regularly and washing off dirt and stains. Drywall repair includes filling or patching holes and then sanding and painting it to match the surrounding drywall. In cases where there's significant water damage or other concerns, you may need to replace the drywall in the area completely.
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.
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.
Kitchens
Kitchens are the heart of the home, and kitchen design can make or break the functionality of the space. Professionals can help you create a new kitchen layout, build out custom kitchens, and help you choose everything from kitchen cabinets to countertops.
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.
Bathrooms
Well-designed bathrooms can provide an oasis for you to enjoy 'me time' while also having the function you need to get ready for the day quickly. A bathroom remodel can involve changing the layout, replacing sinks and counters, improving storage, swapping a tub for a shower or vice versa, and much more.
Doors
Doors protect your home from both intruders and weather while also providing beauty and style to your property. Entry doors should have a solid core, strike plates with long screws, and reinforced glass. Sliding glass doors and patio doors should have reinforced glass, secure locks, and tight seals. A professional can assess, repair, or replace both exterior and interior doors.
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.
