Exterior Source is a Class A contractor specializing in the installation of gutters, siding, roofing, windows, doors and decks. Established in 1993, we've installed more than 30,000 projects throughout the Central Virginia, Tidewater and Roanoke area. We're the exclusive home of LeafGuard, the only one-piece seamless debris-shedding gutter system on the market today. We are also a GAF Master Elite Roofer, a CertainTeed 5-Star Contractor in Vinyl Siding and a ProVia Windows & Door Installer. For more information, visit www.ExteriorSourceVA.com Read feedback from our customers at www.guildquality.com/exteriorsource

"Until the past few weeks, I would have left a 4-5 start review for Exterior Source. The office staff and work crews have been very friendly and helpful. The house we purchased has Leaf Guard gutters on it, and I’ve had the company do a few repairs related to water damage and damage prevention for a total of roughly $1,200. Recently I had a corner on my garage with wood rot. I also had an issue with a leak over our kitchen window. In order to preserve the Leaf Guard warranty, I called Exterior Source first, for a quote. This is where things went south. The quote, after a discount, was $1,700. The issues were as follows: 1. A leaking corner joint on the gutters – Caused the rotten wood on the garage. 2. A water diverter that was too short – Causing water to flow around it and leak in the kitchen. I requested a call from the owner, and got a call from Kristian (the sales manager). I explained my frustration with the quote and was told he would call the following day after he’d reviewed the quote so we could discuss further. I didn’t get a follow-up call. Fast forward a week or so, and I got a follow-up call about my experience with the sales team. I shared the experience and the fact that I didn’t get a promised follow-up call. I was told these notes would be shared with the salesperson (Dan) and his manager (Kristian). Still no follow-up. I did schedule a cleaning with Exterior Source, and got another follow-up call. I explained that I wasn’t aware the cleaning had happened and that I knew I had a leaking corner and I needed it repaired. I thought that was being scheduled, but I heard no more about the issue. I decided to have the wood repairs done by my handyman. A couple of weeks later, handyman is working through the repairs, and explains the corner joints are leaking. By the way, we had 3 corners with wood damage, Dan only found one in his inspection. He asks if he should reseal the leaking corner pieces and I called Leaf Guard to ask. The lady I spoke with was super nice and had someone out the next day to reseal the corners. I explained I was having repairs done on the wood behind the gutters but I wasn’t warned that the gutters could not be altered at all to keep the lifetime warranty. At this point, I’m happy. We’re back on track to Exterior Source being a customer focused company, despite our minor issues. When Jake came out (super nice guy) I was told I no longer had a warranty on my gutters, because he noted screws were replaced on a corner piece and a downspout. Keep in mind the work not performed on this visit was running a few beads of caulk in the leaking corner pieces to stop the leaks. Exterior Sources offer is to come out and rehang the gutters (none were removed in the repair), and reseal the corners for $300 to reinstate my warranty. Great service is easy when things go well. Companies that put the customer first when things don’t go as planned understand the value of a customer. The current leadership at Exterior Source seems to need a lesson in taking care of customers."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Yes, home builders need to be licensed in every state and municipality in the country. The specific license required varies based on the location and the work, but most states require that the builder hold a general contractor’s license at minimum. Some states and cities also require that plumbing, electrical, roofing, and sewage system construction require individual licenses, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that the builder you’re considering holds all the proper licenses.

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.

This answer varies based on where you are, but most states require that all homes are greater than 320 square feet. Remember that four walls are not the only requirements—windows, closet space, minimal ceiling heights, and indoor air quality are also factors. Each state and municipality differs, though, and as some don’t consider tiny homes permanent shelters, you’ll need to check to ensure you aren’t violating any local or state laws with your build.

Local regulations dictate how big an ADU can be, and there may also be restrictions on the percentage of the main residence’s square footage an ADU can have. In most cases, an ADU must be smaller than the main residence, but check with your local building authority to confirm restrictions on ADU size.

Any straightforward rectangular home layout is more uncomplicated than custom rooms, additions, or stylistic features. In stock plans, single-story ranch homes, cape cods, and colonials are common. Layouts with a single roof ridge are easier to build than those with multiple dormers, chimneys, or ridges.
