McClure Building and Remodeling | General Contractors & Roofing in South Grafton, MA 01560

In South Grafton's older homes, a bathroom remodel often involves addressing outdated plumbing and ensuring proper structural support for new fixtures. We start by assessing the existing conditions, including the subfloor and wall framing. We can integrate modern amenities while preserving character, using techniques from our historical restoration work to match original moldings or tilework. Proper waterproofing and ventilation are critical to prevent moisture issues common in New England homes.

For durability in our climate, we often recommend composite decking or pressure-treated lumber sealed with a high-quality water repellent. Proper construction is key: we use corrosion-resistant fasteners, ensure adequate drainage and slope, and build robust framing that can handle snow load. For existing decks showing wear, our repair and replacement services focus on reinforcing the ledger board attachment to the house—a common failure point—and replacing any rotted structural supports to ensure safety and longevity.

Yes, roof flashing rust and ridge cap damage are frequent issues in South Grafton due to our seasonal humidity, temperature swings, and winter weather. We address this by carefully removing the compromised materials. We replace rusted metal flashing with new, galvanized or aluminum flashing, sealed properly to the roof and chimney. Damaged ridge caps are replaced with new ones, ensuring they are securely fastened and sealed to prevent water intrusion and maintain proper roof ventilation, which is crucial for your home's protection.
