Frequently Asked Questions

Roofing Replacement, Repair, and Restoration

Q1: How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced or just repaired?
It depends on the condition of the roof. If you notice multiple leaks, missing or damaged shingles, or if the roof is more than 20 years old, a replacement may be necessary. For minor issues, like isolated leaks or small areas of damage, repairs can often suffice.
Q2: What is the typical lifespan of a roof?
The lifespan of a roof depends on the material used. Asphalt shingles typically last 20-30 years, metal roofs can last 40-70 years, and tile or slate roofs can last over 50 years. Proper maintenance can help extend the life of any roof.
Q3: How long does roof replacement take?
On average, a roof replacement takes 1 to 3 days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof. Weather conditions can also affect the timeline
Q4: Will my homeowners' insurance cover roof repairs?
Homeowners' insurance may cover roof repairs if the damage is caused by an event such as a storm, fire, or vandalism. However, damage due to wear and tear or neglect is typically not covered. It’s best to review your policy for specifics.

House Painting

Q1: How often should I repaint my house exterior?
The frequency depends on the material of your home and the climate. Wood siding may need repainting every 3-7 years, while brick or stucco can last 10-15 years. Regular maintenance helps extend the life of the paint job.
Q2: What type of paint do you use for exterior and interior projects?
For exterior projects, we use high-quality, weather-resistant paints designed to withstand the elements. For interiors, we choose durable, low-VOC paints that are safe for indoor use and easy to clean.
Q3: How long will it take to paint my house?
The duration depends on the size of your home and the condition of the surfaces. A typical home exterior can take 3-7 days, while interior painting projects usually take 2-5 days.
Q4: Do I need to do anything to prepare my home for painting?
Yes, we recommend removing furniture, decorations, and any fragile items from the areas being painted. For exterior projects, trimming plants and ensuring access to walls is helpful. We will handle all surface preparation, such as pressure washing and minor repairs.

Driveway Replacement, Repair, and Restoration

Q1: How do I know if my driveway needs to be replaced or repaired?
Small cracks or minor surface damage can typically be repaired, but if the driveway has extensive cracking, sinking, or drainage issues, replacement may be necessary. Regular sealing can help extend the life of your driveway.
Q2: What materials do you use for driveways?
We offer a range of materials, including concrete, asphalt, pavers, and gravel. Each has its benefits in terms of durability, appearance, and cost, so we’ll help you choose the best option for your needs.
Q3: How long does it take to replace a driveway?
Replacing a driveway typically takes 1-3 days, depending on its size and complexity. However, curing time for concrete may require additional days before the driveway is ready for use.
Q4: How do I maintain my driveway after it's replaced or repaired?
Regular maintenance includes sealing the driveway every few years (for asphalt and concrete) and repairing any small cracks promptly. Keep the driveway clean and avoid using heavy machinery or vehicles that could cause damage.

Carpentry: Fencing, Decking, and More

Q1: How long does it take to build a deck or fence?
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project. A typical deck or fence takes 2-5 days to complete, but larger or more intricate designs may take longer.
Q2: What materials do you recommend for decking and fencing?
We offer a variety of materials, including pressure-treated wood, composite decking, cedar, and vinyl. For fences, popular options include wood, vinyl, and metal. Each material has its pros and cons based on durability, maintenance, and appearance.
Q3: How do I maintain my deck or fence?
Wood decks and fences should be cleaned and stained or sealed every 2-3 years to protect them from weathering. Composite and vinyl materials are lower maintenance, requiring only occasional cleaning with soap and water.
Q4: Can you repair an existing deck or fence, or does it need to be replaced?
We can often repair damaged sections of a deck or fence if the damage is localized. If the structure is unstable, rotting, or beyond repair, replacement may be the better option for safety and longevity.

Landscaping

Q1: Do you offer landscape design services?
Yes, we provide full landscaping design services, including plant selection, hardscaping, and outdoor living spaces. We work with you to create a customized plan that suits your aesthetic preferences and functional needs.
Q2: What is included in your landscaping maintenance services?
Our maintenance services include lawn care, trimming and pruning, mulching, seasonal cleanups, irrigation system checks, and more. We offer both one-time and ongoing maintenance plans.
Q3: How often should I water my landscape?
Watering frequency depends on your plants, soil, and climate. Generally, lawns need about 1-1.5 inches of water per week, while most shrubs and trees need deep watering every 7-10 days. We can install irrigation systems to ensure your landscape stays healthy.
Q4: Can you help with drainage issues in my yard?
Yes, we can assess and fix drainage problems using solutions like French drains, grading, and retaining walls. Proper drainage is crucial to prevent water damage to your home and landscape.
