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.

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 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.

Skylights can bring in natural light, improve ventilation, and add architectural interest to your home. However, if your skylight is leaking, cracked, fogging over, or showing signs of water damage, it's important to contact a professional to schedule skylight repair. Roofers can replace skylight flashing and seals, broken or damaged glass, or open/close mechanisms that no longer work.

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!

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.
