Franklin County
Home Services in Apalachicola, Florida
Gutter and garage door repairs after a storm, plus new gutters, shelving and blower door tests for Apalachicola homes and businesses.
After a storm in Apalachicola
After a storm, two of our services cover the damage you can see from the yard: gutters that have come loose or started leaking, and a garage door that is dented or will not run. Big Bend Services, Inc. repairs both at Apalachicola addresses, ZIP 32320, on houses and commercial buildings. A storm-damage gutter repair is quoted in writing so you can pass the quote to your insurer.
Call (850) 819-6031, Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, or send the form. Our office in Wewahitchka books Apalachicola work.

Storm-damaged gutters: reseal, rehang or replace
Dripping at a corner or joint
The leak is sealed at the source. A corner whose seal will not hold is rebuilt.
Hanging loose but still straight
The run is put back up on new hangers.
Bent, torn or missing
The damaged run is replaced with a new one formed on site to that roof edge.
Downspouts knocked off
Downspouts are reattached or replaced.
Pulled apart at a joint
The pieces are rejoined and sealed, or replaced if the ends are bent.
Older rooflines
Half-round gutters on an Apalachicola replacement
If storm damage means new gutters, the profile is a choice you make at that point. Tell us the profile and metal you have now, and whether you want to keep it.
Aluminum or copper
Half-round gutters come in both metals.
Standard profile
The 6-inch seamless gutter, in a color matched to the trim.
Whole building or one side
A replacement can cover the damaged side only, or every roof edge so the gutters match all the way round.
Edges without gutters
If an older building has roof edges with no gutter, new runs can be added to them in the same profile as the rest.
Garage doors
A dented or damaged garage door
A garage door hit by debris can dent, crack or come off its track. How much of the door is damaged decides between a repair and a new door.
One cracked or dented section
A panel repair, leaving the rest of the door in place.
Several damaged sections
A new door measured to the opening, with a new opener if you want one.
Off its track or will not close
Bent track sections are straightened or replaced and the door is set back in line.
Cables and springs
A snapped lift cable is replaced, and so is a broken spring.
Businesses
Gutter and garage door storm repairs for Apalachicola shops
Commercial gutter work is scheduled around the hours you are open.
Roll-up and overhead doors
A dented, jammed or off-track commercial door is repaired, or replaced with a new one.
Upkeep
Gutter cleaning and guards once repairs are done
Cleaning
Leaves and debris are cleared by hand, downspouts are flushed and the debris is taken away.
Guards
Fitted over the gutters you have, after they are clean and sound, to keep leaves out of the trough.
Downspouts
Downspouts: where the roof water went during the storm
If water from the roof landed somewhere you did not want it, the downspouts can change while the gutters are being repaired.
Water at a door or step
The downspout is moved to a corner where the water has somewhere to go.
Water against a wall
An extension carries it farther from the building.
A run that overflowed all along
An added downspout lets the run drain in two directions.
Above ground only
Our drainage work stops at the downspout. Underground drains and grading are not part of it.
Wire shelving
Wire shelving for walk-in closets, pantries and laundry rooms
We supply wire shelving and install it in houses and in commercial buildings. A new layout does not have to follow what was there before.
Walk-in closets
Shelving along several walls, with long and short hanging space.
Pantries and laundry rooms
Shelf levels set for what each room holds, and shelving over the washer and dryer.
Garage walls
Shelving on the garage wall, clear of the door track and the opener.
Fixed or adjustable
Fixed shelving stays put, while a shelf-and-rail system lets shelves move.
One quote
A single room or a whole building goes on one quote.
New homes
Blower door tests for new Apalachicola houses
A newly built house is tested for air leakage under the Florida energy code. The limit in Climate Zone 2 is 7 air changes per hour at 50 pascals. Whether the attic is inside or outside the test depends on how it is built, so tell us which kind the house has when you book.
Vented attic
Sits outside the test. The ceiling below it is part of the boundary.
Sealed attic
An attic sealed and insulated at the roof deck is opened to the house and measured with it.
Over the limit
The leaks are corrected and the house is tested again.
Booking
Send the address, the permit number, the ready date and the name of the site contact.
Finishes
Paint, flooring, trim, cabinets and countertops do not change the reading.
How it works
A fan in an exterior doorway holds the house at the test pressure while the leakage is measured.
Telling us about storm damage
Say which side of the building is damaged, whether the gutter is hanging, down on the ground or just leaking, and whether the garage door opens at all. Several jobs at one address, such as gutters and a garage door, can go on one request.
If you own the property but live somewhere else, name someone nearby who can open the garage and point out the damage, and give your own number as well.
Landlords and property managers with storm damage at more than one Apalachicola address can have the gutters at several addresses looked at on one visit. List each address with what you know about the damage there.
