What tips a job from repair to replacement
How much failed
One joint or one cable is a repair. The same failure all along the gutter, across the door or on every shelf points to new.
Whether it keeps coming back
A leak resealed more than once, or a door that goes off track again, is worth saying on the call.
Whether you want a change
A larger gutter, adjustable shelving or a different door is new work, even if the old one still runs.
Storm damage
Gutter sections knocked loose are reattached if they are straight and replaced if they are bent. The written quote can be passed to an insurer.
Gutters
Leaking joints and gutters that overflow
A leak at one corner or joint is repaired where it starts. The seal is redone, or the corner rebuilt if the seal will not hold.
Overflow in a heavy rain has a few sources. A blocked outlet is cleared. A long run draining to one downspout can take another one. When the gutter is simply too small for the roof, the 6-inch size carries more water.
Repair
One leaking joint, one loose section, one blocked outlet.
Rehang
A sagging run has its hangers reset, with more added where they were spaced too far apart.
Reset
Water running behind the gutter means the gutter height and slope are reset.
Replace
Leaks at joint after joint, or rust through the metal in several places. Old gutters are taken down and hauled away.
Move or extend
A downspout that empties at the steps or against a wall is moved or extended rather than the gutter replaced. The work stops above ground.
Garage doors
Cables, crooked doors and when a new door fits
A frayed or snapped lift cable is replaced. A door that hangs crooked or sits low on one side is brought back level, with the cable, spring or track on that side put right.
A new door comes into it when the sections themselves are damaged, or when you want a different door. Tell us which of those it is, and whether the opener stays.
Repair
Springs, cables, track, one panel or the safety sensors.
New door
Measured to the opening and quoted.
Springs
A broken spring is always replaced with a new one.
Grinding and rattling
Worn rollers and hinges are replaced; the door itself stays.
Commercial and roll-up doors
The same repair or replace choice applies to shop and warehouse doors.
Shelving
Sagging shelves and a pantry that no longer works
Wire shelving that sags or has pulled away from the wall is replaced with new shelving that we supply and install. Replacing pantry shelving is a chance to reset the spacing for what you keep there now.
Pantry levels
Shelf heights spaced for cans, for tall boxes and for small appliances.
Adjustable instead of fixed
A shelf-and-rail system lets you move the levels later.
Closets
A reach-in closet gets a shelf and rod set for what hangs and what sits on top; a walk-in is laid out wall by wall.
Laundry room
A shelf over the washer and dryer, with a rail along its edge for hangers.
More rooms
Closets, the laundry room and the garage can be added to the same quote.
Blower door
New houses: setup, not finishing work
A fan fitted in an exterior doorway holds the house at the test pressure while the leakage is measured. Book once the last pipe, wire, vent and duct through the shell is in, and send the address, the permit number, the ready date and who to call on site.
Paint, flooring, trim, cabinets and countertops do not change the reading. On test day:
Closed
Exterior windows and doors, fireplace and stove doors, and exhaust, intake and flue dampers.
Open
Interior doors where installed, and supply and return registers.
Off
Heating and cooling equipment.
Attic and garage
A vented attic sits outside the test, and so does an unheated, uncooled attached garage. An attic sealed at the roof deck is opened to the house and measured.
Whole house
A house with a mix of both
One house can need a repair from one service and new work from another. Put them on one request, say which you think is a repair and which is new, and say which parts you want to keep. If you are not sure, say that too.
Gutters and door
New gutters across the back, and a cable replaced on the garage door.
Door and shelving
A new garage door, and the sagging shelves in the pantry replaced.
