Taking care of and maintaining your windows is especially important in the fall when they are put to the test the most.

It’s important to get everything well-prepared before doing any home improvement or remodeling project. Part of the necessary preparations you need to do is to set up an initial meeting with your general contractor to discuss plans, schedules and other pertinent details about the work you need done. Unfortunately, the excitement of a new roof or deck often gets in the way of discussing all the things you need to cover. Our professionals at Masters Roofing suggest these few important points you need to raise during the initial consultation with your roofing contractor.
A privacy fence is the best way to keep your backyard (or your front yard) away from the public eye. However, just like any other home improvement project such as roof repair, replacement, or installation, constructing a privacy fence also involves some amount of planning before you even attempt to start. Neglecting to take these into consideration can cause you a lot more trouble further down the road.
Besides the obvious roof replacement or siding upgrades you can get, building a deck is also a great way to increase the value and functionality of your home. A deck is an excellent extension to your living space that could serve as both an entertainment area or an outdoor place to rest and relax. One important consideration to building decks is whether to build it raised or “at-grade.” Typically, homeowners usually go for the raised option, but the height of your deck is still determined by a number of different factors.
As your first line of defense against the elements, your roof needs to remain intact and damage-free. Keeping a healthy roofing system, however, isn’t as easy as you may think; it requires regular upkeep. In the first segment of a two-part blog, Masters Roofing, a roof replacement contractor in the area, shares some roof maintenance tips.
