We currently build around Smith Mountain Lake, Bedford County, Amherst County, Franklin County, Pittsyvania County, Roanoke, and Lynchburg. Joey Corvin, is my lead man. He is following in my foot steps to one day own & operate our family business. You may end up speaking to Joey more than myself at times as I have him handling a heavy workload. If there's a situation on the job and you cannot reach myself then you may call Joey at 540-580-4436. Call our office at 540-565-0181 and our secretary, Marylin, will be happy to assist you in scheduling an appointment for your Free Estimate on any of your building needs. We stand behind our work 100%. The job is never completed until the homeowner is satisfied! We look forward to hearing from you and feel free to stop by our location.

-We are a full service roofing and construction company. -Shingle Roofing We are a full service exterior home improvement company specializing in roofing, siding, windows, and kitchen and bathroom remodeling services - shingle Roofing -How can a homeowner recognize when a roof has a problem? Your roof protects your home from the heat of the sun and onslaught of rain, snow, and sleet. But, as every homeowner discovers sooner or later, roofs don t last forever. -What are my options if I decide to reroof? You have two basic options. You can choose a complete replacement of the roof system, involving a tear-off of the old roof, or a re-cover over the existing roof, involving only the installation of a new membrane and surfacing. If you ve already had one recover over your original roof, check with professional Norfolk area roofing contractors to see if your deck can support a second recover. My roof leaks. Do I need to have it totally replaced? Not necessarily. Leaking can result because some flashings have come loose or because a section of the roof has been damaged. A roof failure, however, is generally irreversible and results from improper installation or choice of materials, or from the installation of a roof system inappropriate to the building. Can t I just do the work myself? Most work should not be do-it-yourself. Professional roofing contractors are trained to safely and efficiently repair or replace a roof. Novices can harm a roof with improper roofing techniques and severely injure themselves by falling off or even through a roof in need of repair or replacement. Homeowner maintenance should be confined to roof inspections in both the fall and spring to check for cracked or curling shingles, and for cleaning rain gutters filled with dead leaves and other debris. If you must see the roof for yourself, use a firmly braced or tied-off ladder equipped with rubber safety feet. Wear rubber-soled shoes and stay on the ladder (and off the roof) if possible. How long can I expect my roof to last? The condition and lifespan of your roof will depend on the type of roof you have, the effects of your local environment and the maintenance which the roof has received. According to the American Society of Home Inspectors, asphalt shingles generally last 15-20 years; wood shingle/shakes, 10-40 years; clay/concrete tiles, 20+ years; slate, 30-100 years; metal roofing, 15-40+years.. - Shingles are the most commonly applied roofing system mainly because they are economical and versatile, work well with steep-sloped roofs, are sunlight and weather resistant, require little-to-no maintenance and are reasonably priced. -Roof Repairs

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Major home remodeling projects have some of the highest ROI for adding value to your home. For example, adding a primary bedroom can return about 55% of the investment to build. The cost of a primary bedroom suite averages $62,000—-so the high ROI helps sweeten the deal. However, always make sure to speak with a contractor and architect before adding a new room to your home, as each space affects the layout and aesthetic of your home differently.

Common pitfalls include underestimating the cost of site preparation, overlooking permit and utility fees, and not setting aside funds for unexpected changes. Change orders during construction can disrupt your budget. It’s best to plan a detailed budget, obtain multiple quotes, and include a 10% to 15% contingency fund for unexpected expenses.

Home additions can add significant value to a home by increasing its overall square footage and enhancing a home's functionality and appeal. Key additions such as extra bedrooms, bathrooms, or larger kitchens offer the highest returns on investment. Well-planned additions that seamlessly integrate with the existing structure and match the neighborhood's style can boost curb appeal and market value. However, the actual increase in value depends on the quality of the work, the types of additions, and the current real estate market conditions.

In most states, you can build an in-law suite on your property as long as you follow local building codes. However, it's important that you have enough space on your property to accommodate the new structure. A functional in-law suite in your backyard will require between 300 and 800 square feet of space.

You can’t add home addition costs to an existing mortgage, but you can include them in a new mortgage if you take out a rehab loan. Rehab loans—FHA-backed 203k loans and conventional rehab loans—are for more than the value of a property, and the excess is meant to cover the cost of a renovation or home addition.
