About your Exterior:
The entryway into your home is a special highlight that shouldn’t be taken lightly. It’s seen as a focal point that can wow the neighbors, or people just passing by. Not only that, but your doors and windows need to be in top shape to withstand harsh weather, possible animal intrusion, and even the potential of an attempted break-in.
The exterior walls of your home account for a large portion of your home’s surfaces and siding is an important ingredient in making sure these walls are water-resistant, and looking sharp. We offer many options when it comes to the siding of your house, and offer our clients custom solutions that fits your needs.
Gutters are the unsung heroes of your home when it comes to water management. Every year, thousands of gallons of water are poured onto your roof, which is the same water that carves rivers into the earth, and weathers mountains into valleys. Making sure that this water is handled properly is important to ensure your home doesn’t suffer any unwarranted damages from water pooling in unwanted places. This can lead to disruptions in your home’s foundation, damage to your siding, your windows, mold development, and even more issues not listed here. Take care of your gutters!

Rot: What is it?
Rot presents itself in a variety of ways, so it’s important that, if you think you have rot on your home exterior, that you get it checked by a professional,Â
Often times, a surface that is experiencing rot will have darkened coloring that contrasts from the surrounding wood. This is often unnoticed by those who live in the home since it happens so slowly.
As wood rots, it often becomes spongy or squishy, completely losing the structural integrity it once had, including durability. This presents obvious hazards and, if left unaddressed, can become an issue that goes beyond aesthetics.
The moist environment that creates rot, in wood, is the same moisture that creates the perfect breeding ground for mold- many of which are somewhat harmless. However, many mold species can produce airborne toxins that can be dangerous to human & animal health. This same mold also eats away at wood slowly, breaking it down and eventually develops into rot.
Types of Doors Available to You:
- Wood
- Fiberglass
- Vinyl
- Steel
- Glass
The classic door. Wood can look incredible on a door, whether painted, stained or finished. Unlike steel doors, they offer superior insulation which will make your home more energy efficient when it comes to heating & cooling your home.
There are always the drawbacks of using an organic material on your home. Aging & rotting is always going to be a potential issue, and as wood ages it flexes and warps due to moisture traveling in and out of the wood as the sun beats down on it.
Fiberglass is a great alternative to wood if you’re looking for a long-lasting solution that has no potential for rotting, or warping. However, these can be a bit more expensive than wood.Â
Investing in fiberglass is well worth it, with increased versatility, weather resistance & durability. These types of doors are also very easy to maintain.
Vinyl doors are known for their ability to take a beating over the years, and, just like fiberglass, are a low maintenance option for every home. Not only do they insulate well; they are a more affordable option.
Made from plastic, vinyl offers a dependable front door presence, though other options provide a stronger product, when considering security.
If security is your priority, then steel is for you. One of the most durable options out there, steel is tried and true, unaffected from some of the problems like warping and rot that other doors experience.Â
However, steel does have some drawbacks, as it can be scratched/dented, and rust if not properly maintained. They are also good conductors of heat & cold, which may reduce the efficiency of the heating/cooling in your home.
If letting light into your space is a primary goal for you, then glass doors & sliding doors are definitely what you’re looking for! Glass doors do exactly what they suggest; let light in while keeping everything else out. They are also great for a curious pet who wants to see what’s going on!
Glass doors by nature can be easily broken; however, depending on the grade of glass, the chances of this happening can be mitigated. This type of door is less secure compared to others, due to this vulnerability.
Window Installation

"How Long Will My Windows Last?"
A lot of factors go into the longevity of your roof, and the same applies to your windows! Everything from the grade of materials purchased, to the area you reside in & the weather conditions all affect your windows. Improper installation of a window can dramatically decrease a window’s lifetime.
Your Home's Siding
While it covers most of the house, siding isn’t the first thing on a homeowner’s mind when it comes to home renovation! It may not be the most exciting part of an exterior renovation project, but the correct choice in siding will give your home the “wow” factor it deserves. Like everything else with your home, you’ve got plenty of options when it comes to your choice of siding.

Metal Siding
Metal siding comes with a lot of the standard benefits of using metal for anything on your home. Durable, long lasting, and easy to maintain. It's also fire-resistant and fairly weather-proof. Depending on which grade of metal siding you choose, this will determine the actual performance & longevity you'll get out of your home's siding.

Fiber Cement
What is Fiber Cement? You may have not have heard as much about this material, but it contains an impressive array of benefits. Similar to vinyl, but utilizing a different formula, fiber cement is thicker, tougher, and all-around a much better option for durability. It's also non-combustible, and unappealing to many pests & insects.
-
Vinyl Siding
Vinyl is the most commonly seen siding nowadays, with a lot of people opting for an alternative to wood. It's relatively non-combustible, wear resistant, and requires almost no maintenance!
-
Wooden Siding
There are a lot of options when it comes to wooden siding, and a lot of people may opt for this when they want a specific look and feel. Wood is an organic material, so if left unpainted/finished it will break down over time. It requires a fair bit of maintenance, but you have multiple selections to choose from. Cedar, being a popular choice, is a natural insect repellant, and has a striking, warm glow.
