Roofing Services
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.
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.
Gutter Cleaning
When you hire professionals for gutter cleaning, they can remove debris from your roof, clear debris and obstructions from the gutters by hand, and then use blowers or water to get rid of smaller waste. They can also test downspouts to ensure they aren't blocked, and clear them if there's an issue. From there, they'll clean up and you'll be ready for the next rain.
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.
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.
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.
Fencing
Fencing and gates add privacy and security, show clearly where the property line is, and provide children and pets a safe place to play. Fencing and gates can be made of wood, metal, vinyl, or composite materials. Fencing maintenance includes regular cleaning and repair of any damage, and, for wood fencing, regular restaining and resealing.
