Custom Buildings & Additions
Design:
A custom design is the first step in turning your dream home into a reality. We can help conceptualize, or define and refine your home improvement idea.
Permit:
It is important to know which projects require permits, and for projects requiring a permit, we can help. Following local and state building codes and acquiring proper permitting and inspections will save endless headaches…and money.
Coordinate:
Proper and efficient coordination of all phases of your project is important to us. On larger projects, we will act as general contractor or work with your contractor or architect. We really do care that each trade is not just worrying about their part of the project, but “looking out for the next guy”, and ultimately… looking out for you.
Create:
Whether installing a window, building a custom home, or any of our services in between, our team of experts stands by our workmanship and we use only products that we truly believe in. We take pride in our belief that “good enough” is never good enough. We install or build to current standards or better. We believe that skimping on products or installation/building techniques can save money on the front end, but will assuredly be costly long term.

Custom Porch Enclosures
Additions:
Everyone wants to find a way to bring the outdoors into their home. We build custom porch enclosures to allow you to get the most out of your space.
Retrofit, Additions and New Construction:
We can enclose your deck or porch with screen or glass. Many contractors like to deal only in new constructions, but we have experienced retrofit professionals.
3 or 4 Seasons?
We can make your room 3 seasons or even make it a 4 season with thermal products, insulation and heating.

Custom Decks & Porches
Decks:
We excel in the details. Our meticulous professionals have created some of the finest custom decks in the area. We specialize in maintenance free materials and exotic materials. When it comes to decks (and everything we build), our motto is “Never Under-build”.
Porches:
A porch can change the entire presence and feel of a home. We will make your new porch fit perfectly to the house, as if it were always meant to be.

Weatherization & Insulation
Retrofit Sidewall Insulation:
Whether built in 1988 or early 1700s, sidewall insulation could help you. If there is no existing insulation, the benefits are obvious, but this is not the only time you could use insulation in your sidewalls. In many homes, the batt insulation breaks down and does not perform to its original specifications. For example, in Craig Howland’s own house (built in 1985 with 2x6 construction and R-19 fiberglass batts), we drilled some test holes to see if the insulation would take, and we ended up blowing all of the exterior walls in the house. When done, we had to drop the thermostat 7 degrees to keep the temperature comfortable.
Blown-in Attic Insulation:
An important step to a warm home is stopping the heat from rising and keeping your money from “escaping from the attic”. A first quality installation is as important as the quality of the product. We use only the finest quality virgin fiberglass blowing wool… which does not wick moisture or sustain growth.
Spray-Foam Insulation:
Closed or open cell, new construction or retrofit. We are not afraid of those hard to reach places (crawl spaces).
Ventilation and Moisture Control:
Ventilation and Moisture Control is a very important part of the insulation process. Our professionals understand the many aspects involved to help your project come out right.
Infra-Red Thermal Scans:
We also provide Infra-Red Thermal Scans to help you determine if you need our help. With this process, we can actually show you where the cold spots in your home are.
