 Gutters are an absolutely vital component of their homes’ exteriors, or just some sort of decorative element. While it’s true that professionally installed gutters create a crisp, clean edge around your home’s roofline, their main purpose is far from mere adornment. No matter how gently rain falls onto your roof, the water builds up as it runs off and creates a powerful surge that, if not diverted, can hammer the ground next to your foundation—and water and foundations do not mix. Pounding water along the foundation line erodes the soil and can seep down along the foundation, increasing the risk of basement leaks and structural instability .We offer a worry free option in addition to having your home and gutters inspected twice yearly We recommend and install  combination of the funneling functions of the traditional gutter with a patented curved-hood design that shields against leaves, twigs, and other debris. Roll-formed from sheet aluminum, the LeafGuard gutter hood arcs over the top of the gutter, directing runoff from the roof into the gutter while blocking airborne debris from entering. Even leaves that fall onto the roof and are washed off slip right over the edge of the gutter and down to the ground below. The result is a clean, clear gutter that never clogs. 

Why are Soffit and Fascia important features on your home?  While most people know why windows, siding and doors are important, they might not realize that soffit and fascia are equally as important.    Soffit can be made from wood, aluminum or vinyl. It’s important that you have a soffit material suitable for the climate you live in   Vinyl soffit has all the same characteristics as vinyl siding, so you know your home will be protected with it and look great at the same time.   Fascia goes hand-in-hand with your home’s soffit. Fascia is the area of siding directly above the soffit. It’s the exposed board you see on the front of your roof’s overhang. Your fascia is also where gutters are placed. Fascia is very visible and needs to be in good shape so your home’s curb appeal isn’t in jeopardy. Just like soffit, fascia can be made of aluminum, wood or vinyl and the best option is vinyl.   Soffit is important because it has venting that helps keep a steady airflow between your roof and attic.   Your attic needs to be well ventilated or else moisture can build up causing mold to form. The last thing you want in your home is mold.  Soffit also helps keep animals and insects out of your home. Bees and wasps love to nestle up in soffit, so you need to keep it maintained to prevent them from invading.  Fascia is important to make sure your soffit has no cracks or holes in it and if it does, you must repair or replace it right away  t’s what your gutters are installed on. Gutters are extremely important and your fascia needs to be able to hold them up even during torrential downpour. Fascia is also important because it’s visible to everyone. If you want to maximize your home’s curb appeal, your fascia needs to look great as well.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

  If remodeling and updating a kitchen and plumbing is not a restoration, what is it? It is a renovation. Renovation is the process of making something look and function like new.  Replacing period HVAC, cast iron plumbing and knob-and-tube wiring or adding French doors is a renovation since you are making an historic building work and function like a new building.  Although a renovation can be quite sensitive to the historic nature of a building and preserve as much as possible, it is a different act.  Although there can be some overlap between restoration and renovation, it is good to understand the differences.  So that you and your contractor can talk about and figure out your vest options. 

 Restoration: A true restoration is the process of returning a building to its appearance and condition at a specific period in time. This means making a house look exactly like it did at a certain date, including recreating the wallpaper, matching historic paint colors and matching or reproducing fixtures and hardware. True restorations are quite rare and largely limited to house museums like Mt. Vernon or Monticello. Many of the things called restorations really aren’t.  The example I gave above of remodeling and updating a kitchen and plumbing is not, in fact, a restoration.  Blu has 6 decades of experience to bring your project back to any time that you desire!

In the construction industry, a general contractor is the person or company responsible for overseeing a construction project. Property owners will typically hire general contractors to ensure a construction job is completed safely, on time, and according to specifications.

General contractors, often called GCs, are important for both complex commercial construction, and straightforward residential projects. More specific tasks — like replacing a roof or laying new flooring — may be outsourced to different types of subcontractors. However, a GC is likely needed for any project that requires coordinating several stages or multiple specialty contractors to complete the job at hand.
