Your Questions, Answered

Just a rough idea of what you want done and any problems you have noticed. Photos help, but they are not required. We will look at the project in person and talk through your options.

It depends on the size of the project and our schedule. When we visit, we will tell you when to expect your written proposal so you are not left guessing.

The proposal spells out the scope and cost. If you ask for changes once work starts, or we uncover hidden damage behind a wall or under old roofing, we talk with you first and agree on any change before moving forward.

Yes. We are happy to walk through different materials and approaches so you can choose what fits your home and budget.

Many homeowners ask us about storm or water damage. Call us at (607) 432-8326 with the details and we will tell you how we can help with the repair side of it.

It comes down to the age of the roof, how widespread the damage is, and how often repairs are needed. We inspect the roof and give you a straight answer, even when a repair is all you need.

Common signs are leaks or water stains on ceilings, missing or curling shingles, granules in the gutters, sagging areas, and daylight in the attic.

We install asphalt shingle, metal, flat and low slope, tile, and slate roofing, for both homes and commercial buildings.

Call us right away at (607) 432-8326. We handle emergency roof repairs and will work to get you protected as soon as we can.

Not usually. You do need to give us access to the property. We will go over the plan with you beforehand.

Warping, cracking, rot, peeling, loose boards, and rising energy bills are all signs. Water getting behind siding can damage the wall underneath, so it is worth having it checked early.

Newer windows seal better than old, drafty ones, and that can reduce heating and cooling loss. Insulation upgrades work alongside windows to make the biggest difference.

Yes, in many cases. We plan the work so your home is open to the cold for as short a time as possible.

Yes. We offer insulation along with windows and doors, since the three work together to keep a home comfortable.

Timing depends on the size of the space and the materials. A bathroom is usually quicker than a full kitchen. We give you an expected timeline in your proposal.

Most people do. We keep the work area contained and organized, and we talk through how it will affect your daily routine before we start.

Yes. We turn unfinished basements into usable living space. Take a look at our gallery for a basement before and after.

We manage the project as one team, so you are not juggling several contractors on your own. If a specialty trade is needed, we will tell you upfront.

We build when the weather allows, and the schedule fills quickly in the warm months. Getting your estimate early gives you a better choice of start dates.

Yes. We build decks, porches, sunrooms, and home additions. We will talk through your goals and what makes sense for your property.

Often yes, and requirements vary by town. We will tell you what your project needs during the estimate.

Our own experienced crew, led by a family owned local company. You will know who is coming and when.

We protect landscaping and surfaces, keep the site orderly, and clean up when we finish each day and at the end of the job.
