"I cannot say enough good things about Power Home Remodeling. We have used Power Home for years. We had them replace doors and windows at our old house. In our current house, we had Power Home replace the windows on our upper floor and basement, as well as a basement door, sliding door, and attic insulation in 2020. Power Home just finished replacing our first floor windows and front door. Their work has always been impeccable and the experience has always been top notch. Every experience we have had with Power Home has been professional and pleasant. Whether it is sales, support, or the install teams, each rep’s focus has been on ensuring that we are happy and satisfied with the work being done. Additionally, the company offers an outstanding warranty on their work. I recommend Power Home to everyone I know who is in the market for doors, windows, siding, roofing, or attic insulation. Their products are exceptional, especially the doors and windows. The difference in temperature and noise is amazing. Additionally, Power Home takes care of its employees, which is very important to us. They also are very involved in the community. It is a refreshing change to see a company that focuses on taking care of their employees and customer satisfaction instead of just focusing on making money. Sales: Every rep that has visited us has been enjoyable to work with. They are honest and up front about their products, processes, and what to expect. Materials: Power Home’s windows and doors are amazing. From temperature to sound, the difference is huge compared to our old windows and doors. Professionalism: Every Power Home employee we have interacted with has been professional and pleasant. They have all been very focused on ensuring we have any questions answered and that we have an excellent experience. This holds true from sales to installs to support. Give Power Home Remodeling a chance. They will earn your business and you won’t regret it."
The roof pitch on a Cape Cod house is normally 8/12 or 10/12, meaning the roof rises 8 to 10 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal run. This is steeper than the now-standard 6/12 pitch, as Cape Cod homes were originally popular in northern states, where the steeper pitch helped snowfall slide readily off the roof.
You can put a green roof on a regular house with a compatible slope. Green roofs are best suited for flat or gently sloped roofs, as steeply pitched roofs can make the installation and maintenance of the green roof challenging. Flat roofs can support the weight of the soil and plants and ensure effective drainage.
Asphalt shingles, wooden shakes, and slate or clay roofing tiles are often replaceable without having to replace the entire roof. It's possible to replace just a few shingles or tiles without much trouble in the case of wind damage or other minor problems. DIYers can perform the task in some situations. However, professional repair is always the best bet when it comes to roofing.
A solar roof can replace an existing roof. Solar panels fit on top of traditional roofs. In contrast, solar roofs that contain photovoltaic (PV) materials, like solar shingles and solar tiles, are standalone roofing systems installed as a main roof. In some cases, installers can place them on existing roofs and as part of new construction. Carefully assess and choose the right type of solar roof replacement for your home and needs.
Roof work is dangerous and exacting, and a misstep could lead to even more costly repairs, so we do not recommend DIYing. If you are dead set on giving it a go, practice safety measures. Wear a harness, only work during mild weather, and have a partner to help. Potentially DIY-friendly jobs include patching up small leaks, sealing areas around the chimney, and replacing a few shingles.
