How Often to Inspect
- Once a year for a general walk-around of roof, siding, gutters and trim.
- After any significant storm with hail or strong wind.
- Before buying or selling a home.
- When a roof passes about 15 years, since wear accelerates in hot, humid climates.
Our roof inspection checklist shows what to look for yourself between professional visits.
Permits and Code Compliance
Permit requirements vary by jurisdiction and project type. Roof replacements, structural porch additions and some window changes may need approval while simple repairs usually do not. When a permit is required, we handle the paperwork and scheduling of inspections as part of the job, and we build to the manufacturer installation instructions that warranties depend on.
What a Siding Project Looks Like
Most siding replacements on an average home take one to two weeks. We remove old material, check and repair the sheathing, install a weather barrier, flash all openings and then install new siding and trim. Coordinating new gutters at the same time saves a second visit.

Common Questions
What does home exterior work cover?
It includes roofing, siding, soffit and fascia, gutters, windows, doors and outdoor structures such as porches and pergolas. We focus on what your home needs most.
How often should I have my roof inspected in Elliott?
Plan on once a year and after any major storm. Older roofs benefit from closer attention because small issues can turn into leaks quickly.
Will you handle permits?
Yes. When a project requires a permit, we obtain it and coordinate any required inspections.
What affects the total cost of an exterior project?
Home size, material choice, roof pitch, number of layers to remove and any hidden damage all play a role. We give an itemized written estimate after inspection.
