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.
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.
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!
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.

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.
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.
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.
