Replacing the siding on your home is not a simple process. It can even involve the complete removal of the existing exterior covering. There are also specific handling and installation techniques and tools required to get the job done right and avoid problems in the future.  For all these reasons, a siding project is typically not a do-it-yourself project. It should be reserved for siding contractors that are experienced in siding installation and equipped with the proper tools.

With the above in mind, there are many key items that a qualified contractor should know and cover in their proposal to you. Here are a few of the key items that should be assessed before starting any new siding project:

• Is the contractor trained and experienced in installing siding?
• It’s important that the contractor install the siding per the manufacturer’s written specifications or you risk voiding the warranty on the product itself.
• Will the existing exterior surface need to be removed?  Once removed, will the current exterior be disposed of properly by the contractor?
• If found, how will rotted or damaged sheathing and/or framing members be addressed?
• Will a moisture barrier be installed before the siding?  Will window and door flashings be installed or replaced?
• How will existing light fixtures, power outlets, phone boxes and lines be addressed?  How will other key transition areas be addressed (decks, power and gas meters, etc.)?
• What products will be used for inside and outside corners or will they be replaced at all?

We offer gutters in a variety of colors. There’s simply no job too big or too small for our qualified team to handle!

Gutters:

Many homeowners wonder if they actually need gutters for their home. The short answer to that question is ‘yes’. The number one reason for having a gutter system is to direct rainwater away from the home to protect the foundation. Excess water that seeps into the ground can do a number of things to your home. Cracked foundations, due to excess water absorption, are a common occurrence, as well as the growth of mold and mildew due to the added moisture.

By having a gutter system in place, you can help avoid much larger issues, which could otherwise become a big and costly home repair project.

Types of Gutters

There are several different types of gutters and they range in size and material. Most gutters are stamped from aluminum and are painted to match the home. The size that meets most home needs is a 5-inch gutter, but for some homes, with a large surface area, a 6-inch gutter is recommended. At Alvin Ballard, we offer both sizes and can help you determine which size would be better suited for your home.

Trust the Professionals

Having your gutters installed by professionals is also something that you should take seriously. If the system is not installed properly, they can actually cause more damage than having no gutters at all! Leave the installation process to well-trained professionals to ensure that you are getting the most out of your investment.

We at Alvin Ballard can handle any size job, including custom jobs. To find out more about getting a gutter system installed on your home, contact us today!

We offer custom-built solutions for wood, vinyl and aluminum fascia and soffit, including soffit ventilation. There is a wide range of colors to choose from so we can best match your existing colors or provide that contrast you’ve always wanted.

The Fascia and Soffit are components of your roof system that often get overlooked but are actually very important for maintaining a high level of protection for your home. You can get new roof shingles installed, but if the fascia and soffit are in a state of deterioration you won’t be getting as much protection from the weather as you had hoped. At Alvin Ballard, we offer custom-built solutions for wood, vinyl and aluminum fascia and soffit.

What is Fascia and Soffit?

The fascia is the board that hangs vertically from the edge of the roof and is met underneath by the soffit. While the fascia serves as a means to protect the interior of your home from moisture and the sun’s rays, soffit serves as a method of ventilation to keep your attic dry in the winter and cooler in the summer. Both the soffit and the fascia are crucial for keeping your home weather resistant.

Different Materials for Fascia and Soffit

There are several different types of materials that can be used for the fascia and the soffit. Wood, vinyl and aluminum are materials that are currently available. Typically, wood is found in older homes and many people now choose vinyl because it is economical, water resistant and does not rot or require painting. Vinyl can also help generate energy savings for your home, since it regulates temperature so well. As experts at Alvin Ballard, we understand the benefits and downfalls of each material and can assist you in choosing the right one for your home.

Add Value to Your Home

Upgrading the fascia and soffit is a chance for you to add value to your home. Many homeowners choose to take advantage of experimenting with different board widths and styles to add aesthetic appeal to their home. A unique style can often add value to your home, especially if it is a quality job. Alvin Ballard also offers custom paint jobs for those who have uniquely colored homes.

Interior Restoration Reduces Time on the Market

If you’re selling your home, interior home repair can make a great difference in the amount of time your home is on the market. Adding things to your home like new paint or special accents and trim can greatly enhance the overall appeal and help you sell faster! Making sure that each room in the house follows a consistent color theme is also crucial.

Giving Your Home a Facelift

About every 10 years, many homeowners like to restore the interior and/or exterior of their homes. Did you know that an interior or exterior restoration can make it feel like you’re in a completely different home? Alvin Ballard Roofing and Home Improvements offer a wide range of services when it comes to interior and exterior restoration. From roofing to decking and fencing to screen replacements, you can count on Alvin Ballard Roofing and Home Improvements.

Don’t Wait!

Additionally, some families wait until their home is in a state of disrepair before getting started with a restoration project. Starting restoration before any damages get out of hand will keep your money from going out of the window. This is especially a concern during the winter when insulation and window sealants may not be at their best. The best way to keep money in your pocket and the value of your home high is to stay on top of repairs and restorations.

Call us today and we can discuss how we can meet your interior or exterior restoration needs.

Deck Repair:

Deck repairs can range from replacing loose screws to replacing support beams and much more. Alvin Ballard Roofing and Home Improvement is able to bring new life to old decks, giving you more time to enjoy your outdoor space. All too often, when purchasing or preparing to sell a home, inspectors will report on needed deck repairs as they are often neglected. We can and will take care of all your home inspection issues.

Deck Resurfacing:

Resurfacing your deck can be a cost effective way of updating your deck without replacing it. Wood decks can be sanded and refinished with older, rotten boards being replaced. In cases where you have a sturdy frame for your deck, we can actually replace the decking, saving you time and money. We also deal with replacing failed composite decking products. If you have a claim with any company, give us a call and we will help walk you through the process.

Deck Design:

Sometimes the hardest part is deciding what you want your new deck to look like or just how big you really want it to be. There are many things to consider, from walking patterns to property boundaries to your budget. You can rest at ease knowing Alvin Ballard Roofing and Home Improvements will help you through each phase of the design process.

Deck Surface:

Deciding on the surface for your new deck can prove to be a challenge as well. What is the most important thing? Low maintenance or low cost. Unfortunately the two do not go hand in hand. If you want to spend less now, you will probably spend more time and money in the future on maintenance or repairs. We will help educate you on the different decking products and their benefits.

Deck Rail:

Railing choices can depend on the type of decking you chose as well as the type of view you have. There are rails systems that are designed to provide you with an unobstructed view. Some products are low maintenance and others are low cost. We will help you decide which product goes best with your new deck or budget.

There are of course other factors to consider when building your deck. We will bring our expertise into your project so that your experience will be a great one. Your satisfaction is our priority at Alvin Ballard Roofing and Home Improvements.
