Four services for a house under construction

Big Bend Services, Inc. works on new and rebuilt houses in Lynn Haven, ZIP 32444. A new house can need all four of our services: the blower door test the energy code asks for, seamless gutters, wire shelving in the closets and pantry, and a garage door with its opener.

Lynn Haven has houses being built and rebuilt, and builders, owner-builders and owners can send us every service on one request. Call (850) 819-6031 or use the form with the site address and the stage the house is at. Repairs on finished houses are covered too: a sagging gutter, a broken spring or a closet that needs shelving. Our office in Wewahitchka takes calls Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Give us your build schedule with the request.

  • Blower door test

    Once every pipe, wire, vent and duct that passes through the shell is in place. A new opening cut through the shell after the test can change the result.

  • Gutters

    After the roof and fascia are finished, on a date set around the builder.

  • Garage door

    When the opening is framed and finished.

Testing a new house

The Florida energy code sets the limit at 7 air changes per hour at 50 pascals for this climate zone. A house over the limit has its leaks corrected and is tested again.

Booking ahead of the date you need the result leaves time for a retest. If the ready date slips, call the office and a new test date is set.

  • Paint and floors can wait

    Paint, flooring, trim, cabinets and countertops do not change the reading.

  • With the booking

    Send the address, the permit number, the ready date and the site contact.

  • On the day

    A fan fitted in an exterior doorway holds the house at the test pressure while the leakage is measured. Windows and outside doors are shut, dampers closed and the heating and cooling turned off.

  • Attic and garage

    A vented attic and an unconditioned attached garage sit outside the tested space. An attic sealed at the roof deck is measured with the house.

Gutters

Gutters on a new roof, or new gutters on an old one

On a new house, seamless gutters are formed on site to fit each roof edge. On a house being rebuilt, the old or sectional gutters are taken down and hauled away, and new seamless runs replace them.

Downspouts are placed with the finished site in mind, so tell us where the walks, the drive and the entry steps will be.

  • Color

    Chosen to match the trim of the new house.

  • Porch and garage roofs

    Every roof edge that sheds water can get its own run.

  • Guards

    Guards can go over the new gutters if you want them.

Shelving

Closets and pantry ready before move-in

We supply the wire shelving and install it for builders and for owners.

  • Reach-in closets

    Shelf and rod heights set by what the closet is for: a coat closet hangs long, a child's closet can hang lower.

  • Walk-in closets

    Laid out wall by wall, with long and short hanging and shelves.

  • Linen closets

    Shelves only, spaced for towels and sheets.

  • The whole house

    Every closet, the pantry and the laundry room can go on one quote.

Garage door

A new door, or a repair to the old one

For a new house, the door is measured to the opening and installed, with a new opener if you want one.

On a house being rebuilt, the existing door may only need one part replaced. What decides it is how much of the door is damaged and whether you want the door to change.

  • One part at fault

    A cable, a roller, a hinge, a sensor or a single panel is repaired or replaced on its own, and a broken spring is replaced.

  • Damage across the door

    When several sections are bent or cracked, a new door measured to the opening is quoted instead.

  • Only the opener

    A door in good shape can take a new opener without a new door.

  • Weather seals

    A bottom seal and seals along the sides and top close the gaps around the door.

For builders

Builders with several houses

List each house on the request with its own address and the stage it is at, so every service is booked for the right house.

  • Shelving

    The floor plan or a list of closets, the pantry and the laundry room for each house, with anything the buyer has asked for.

  • Garage doors

    The size of each opening and whether it gets an opener.

Roof water

Where the water goes around a new house

Downspout work on a new or rebuilt house stays above ground. We do not lay underground drain lines, build French drains or grade the yard, so plan any of that with your site work.

  • Extensions

    An extension carries the water past a walk or away from the slab.

  • Added downspouts

    A long run can drain to two corners instead of one.

  • Moved downspouts

    On a rebuild, a downspout that used to empty at the steps can go to another corner with the new gutters.

Owner-builders

Building or rebuilding your own house

An owner running the job is the site contact for every service.

  • New work and repairs

    Say which services are new work and which are repairs to what survived, such as a garage door with one bent section.

  • Plan changes

    If a closet changes size during the build, tell us before the shelving date.

  • A daytime number

    Give a number where you can be reached during the working day.

FAQ

Lynn Haven new build and rebuild questions

Have another question? Call (850) 819-6031.

Is an addition to an existing house tested too?
Not always. Additions and alterations that make up less than 85 percent of the building thermal envelope are an exception to the test under the Florida energy code. Tell us the size of the work when you call, and whether the permit treats it as new construction.
Do you shelve spec houses for builders?
Yes. Builders can have shelving put in whether the house is sold yet or not.
Are half-round gutters an option on a new house?
Yes. Half-round gutters are offered in aluminum or copper, alongside the standard seamless profile.
Can a spec house be tested before it sells?
Yes. The test depends on the stage of the build, not on whether there is a buyer.
What size gutters go on a new house?
Our standard is the 6-inch gutter, which holds and carries more water than the smaller 5-inch size.
