Home Exteriors FAQs
Roofing FAQs
How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced?
Signs of roof damage include missing shingles, water leaks, granules in the gutters, and sagging. If your roof is over 20 years old, it may be time to schedule an inspection.
What type of roofing materials should I choose?
Popular options include asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and slate. Each material has its own benefits, so we’ll help you select the one that best fits your style, budget, and climate.
How long does roof installation take?
Most roof replacements take 1–3 days, depending on the size and complexity of the project.
Siding FAQs
What are the best siding materials for durability?
Vinyl, fiber cement, and engineered wood are durable and low-maintenance options that provide excellent protection and a variety of design choices.
How often should I replace siding?
Siding typically lasts 20–40 years, depending on the material and maintenance. Look for cracks, warping, or faded color as signs that it’s time for an upgrade.
Can new siding improve my home’s energy efficiency?
Yes! Insulated siding can reduce energy loss, helping to keep your home more comfortable and lower utility bills.
Windows FAQs
How do I know if I need new windows?
Common signs include drafts, condensation between panes, and difficulty opening or closing windows. Upgrading to energy-efficient windows can also improve insulation and lower energy costs.
What are the most energy-efficient window options?
Look for ENERGY STAR®-rated windows with double or triple-pane glass and low-E coatings. These features help maintain indoor temperatures year-round.
How long does it take to install new windows?
Most window installations are completed in a day or two, depending on the number of windows being replaced.
Gutters FAQs
Why are gutters important for my home exterior?
Gutters channel rainwater away from your foundation, preventing water damage, erosion, and basement flooding.
How often should I clean my gutters?
Clean your gutters at least twice a year—typically in the spring and fall. For homes with heavy tree coverage, more frequent cleaning may be necessary.
Should I upgrade to seamless gutters?
Seamless gutters reduce the risk of leaks, require less maintenance, and offer a sleek appearance compared to traditional sectional gutters.
