Being in the general contracting business allows our company to do a variety of work to improve the outside of your home.  Now that summer is here, it is a great time to start your outdoor projects, here are a few we recommend.
Painting: A fresh coat of paint on your homes trim or the entire exterior surface can make a big difference in the immediate curb appeal.  That thin skin of resin and pigment also protects your investment, shielding it from sun, wind, and rain.
Siding/Stucco Replacement: Many homes in the Santa Clarita Valley are in need of stucco repair and siding replacement, which is also a great way to improve the look as well as, insulate from leaks and weather damage.  One thing that you must keep in mind during this process, is, that no matter what type of siding you choose, it will be on your house for many years to come.  Therefore, you must make sure to purchase the best preference for your home.
Windows/Doors: Utility bills are significantly lower when older windows are replaced with energy efficient windows.  If your windows get a condensation or frost build-up it means that they are not insulating your home properly.  This extra moisture can cause serious problems from rotting frames, increased heating costs, and even lead to dangerous mold growth that can harm your family’s health.  If your window is cold to the touch in the winter and hot to the touch in the summer it means that your window is not insulating your home correctly and is putting an extra work load on your heating and air conditioning systems – which costs you money in higher bills.  We use products like Anderson A-Series, which gives you optimal energy performing windows and patio doors, without having to choose expensive upgrades.
Backyard Decks: TREX decking gives the homeowner a variety of color options and design styles with their revolutionary cellular PVC technology, which offers unsurpassed stain, scratch and mold resistance.  Our clients are thrilled with their new TREX decking and all the design options and low maintenance they provide.
Patio Covers: Building an attached or free-standing patio cover will not only give you the shade you’re looking for but will also add value to your home.
Outdoor Kitchens: A built-in BBQ with extras like a sink, refrigerator and bar can make all the difference when entertaining outdoors.
