Planning the Whole Property
When we visit a rural property, we look at every structure that keeps something dry. Combining a house roof with a shop or barn roof in one project often reduces mobilization costs, and matching materials gives the property a unified look. We map out what needs attention now and what can be scheduled later so you can budget over time.
Farmhouse Porches and Trim
Wraparound and front porches take a beating from sun and rain. Common issues include rotted columns at the base, soft decking boards, sagging porch roofs and peeling ceilings. We rebuild or wrap columns, replace decking with composite or treated material, and repair porch roofs with proper flashing at the wall.
Materials That Suit Country Living
- Metal roofing for long life on houses, shops and barns
- Fiber cement or board-and-batten siding for a farmhouse look without constant painting
- Wide gutters and downspouts to handle runoff from large roofs
- Durable windows and storm doors that seal against wind

Common Questions
Do you work on barns and shops as well as houses?
Yes. We can reroof outbuildings, often with metal panels, and include them in the same project as the house to simplify scheduling.
How long does a siding project take?
Most homes in the area take about one to two weeks, depending on size, porch detail and weather.
What is the best time of year for exterior work?
Spring and fall usually offer the most cooperative weather, but we work much of the year and schedule around the forecast.
Can you help with storm damage claims?
We inspect, document and measure damage and can meet your adjuster. Your claim decisions remain with you.
Can a farmhouse keep its character with modern materials?
Yes. Fiber cement comes in lap and board-and-batten profiles that read like painted wood, and metal roofing in muted colors suits older country homes. We aim to keep the original proportions, trim widths and porch lines intact.
