Now that you are planning a roof renovation, it may be a good time to undertake one or two other home improvements to optimize your project.
Full-service roofing contractors offer other services that complement a roof replacement.
Siding replacement
With a new roof installed, it is important to have good siding as well to complete the brand-new look of your home’s exterior.
Some full-service contractors may offer roof and siding renovation or you can work with 2 different contractors.
A high-quality siding renovation will also increase the value of your home and improve the home insulation and increase energy efficiency.
Siding materials popular in Quebec include vinyl, fiber cement, wood, metal, engineered wood, and stucco.
Soffit and Fascia
Fascia adds to the durability and attractiveness of your eavestrough. It also prevents the fascia boards from rotting due to water and ensures that the eavestrough works well.
Soffit increases the home’s aesthetic appeal and most importantly, protects it from water damage. Contractors offer a variety of soffit options to blend with the home’s exterior design.
Gutter cleaning
Cleaning the gutter can take time and a lot of work but it is a very essential task.
The gutter is the first line of defense for the foundation of the home. It carries the water from the roof to the downspouts to prevent soil erosion and protect the foundation from getting wet.
When the foundation is exposed to water, it can result in bigger problems, and ultimately, more expensive repairs.
The gutter can also get filled with debris and start to pull away from the house, making your exterior look unappealing.
Many roof contractors offer gutter cleaning services to maintain the roof and its other components. Gutter cleaning is recommended twice a year, especially in late fall and spring.
French Drain
If you notice water infiltration in your home, a French drain (also called a weeping tile) may be the culprit. Or maybe, your house does not have one.
A French drain is a pipe installed by the foundation to collect excess water from the land and prevent water damage.
You can check with renovation professionals regarding a French drain repair or installation in Quebec.
Windows and doors renovation
The cost to heat or cool the home can be reduced dramatically with good windows and doors. If you get a new roof but your windows and doors are not working properly due to age, you won’t maximize the benefits of your new roof.
A roof installation can be done simultaneously with windows and doors renovation to give your home a dramatic transformation in look and function.
