Frequently Asked Questions
As a Barnstable homeowner, I often have issues with gutter overflow and roof flashing. How does RBS Construction address these common local problems?
We see these issues frequently due to our coastal weather. For gutter overflow, we don't just clean; we assess the entire system for proper pitch, size, and downspout placement to ensure efficient water drainage away from your foundation. For roof flashing separation—often caused by wind and thermal expansion—we carefully inspect and repair or replace flashing using durable, corrosion-resistant materials and secure sealing techniques designed to withstand Cape Cod conditions, preventing leaks before they start.
We're considering a home addition in Barnstable. Does RBS Construction handle the entire process from design to finish?
Yes, as a full-service general contractor, we manage the entire project. This includes initial consultation and planning, securing necessary permits specific to Barnstable and Cape Cod, all phases of construction for additions like bedrooms, bathrooms, or garages, and coordinating with any required subcontractors. We ensure the new addition seamlessly integrates with your existing home's structure and aesthetics, handling everything from the foundation to the final roofing and siding.
What types of roofing materials do you work with for replacement projects on Cape Cod?
We work with a variety of materials suited to our local environment, including durable asphalt shingles, long-lasting metal roofing, classic cedar shakes, and reliable rubber (EPDM) roofing systems. During a consultation, we'll discuss the pros and cons of each option for your specific home, considering factors like wind resistance, longevity, and maintenance to help you choose the best roof for your needs and budget.
