Older Homes

Existing homes offer a range of home repair challanges.

Some of the most difficult and costly repairs are from leaks.

Roof leaks, window and door leaks, siding leaks, and plumbing leaks, lead the way in homeowner headaches.

Leaks create multiple hazzards.

They deteriorate the property, render areas of your home unusable, and are accompanied by mold, a major source of health problems.

It takes an experienced remodeler to diagnose and repair a leak.

Never waste time and money with remodelers who are unsure, and who speculate with random solutions.

Find a remodeler, who has experience in diagnosing and repairing leaks, and who has plenty of references in doing so.

Time spent selecting the right company will go a long way, saving you time, money and aggravation!

The best approach for exterior leaks is to set up a water test.

A majority of the time, if done correctly, a water test will identify the affected area.

Interior leaks can be a bit more difficult, occasionally requiring removal of sheetrock, fixtures, and flooring.

Again, using an experienced contractor will eliminate mistakes and unecessary repairs.

Their experience and instincts will direct them to the problem area.

Remember, never take short cuts.

They are costly and will make your life miserable.

Do it right the first time.
