Question Answers
As a Madison homeowner, how do you handle common local issues like roof flashing corrosion and deck rot?
We see these issues often in our area due to weather. For flashing corrosion, we carefully inspect all metal components around chimneys, vents, and valleys. We replace corroded flashing with durable, code-compliant materials and ensure a proper seal to prevent future water intrusion. For roof deck rot, we perform a thorough inspection from the attic and during any roof replacement. Any soft or compromised decking is fully removed and replaced to create a solid foundation for your new roof, preventing structural damage and mold. Our approach prioritizes fixing the root cause, not just the visible symptoms.
My gutters are overflowing. Do you recommend repair, addition, or full replacement?
It depends on the condition and capacity of your current system. We start with a detailed inspection. Often, cleaning or repairing specific sections is sufficient. If overflow is due to insufficient capacity for your roof's size—common after additions—we may recommend adding downspouts or larger gutters. If the system is old, sagging, or has multiple leaks, a full replacement with modern, seamless gutters is usually the most reliable and cost-effective long-term solution. We'll explain all options and provide a clear recommendation for your Madison home.
I'm interested in converting my wood-burning fireplace to gas. What does that process involve?
Converting a fireplace is a great way to add convenience and efficiency. Our process starts with a safety inspection of your existing chimney and fireplace structure to ensure it can accommodate a gas system. We then handle the installation of the new gas line (coordinating with a licensed professional as needed), the placement of the gas logs or insert, and all necessary venting adjustments. We ensure the installation meets all local codes and manufacturer specifications. The result is a cleaner, easier-to-use heating source that still provides the ambiance of a fire.
