The basics for any Alford address
Street address and ZIP
Give the physical address of the building that needs the work. If your mail goes somewhere else, such as a post office box, the street address is the one we need.
A phone number
One that answers during office hours.
The kind of building
A house, a detached garage or workshop, a business, or a house still under construction.
Who will be there
The name of the person who can open the garage or the house on the day, if that is not you.
The problem in plain words
What you see or hear, not the name of a part. A drip at the back corner says more than a guess at the cause.
Gutters
What to mention about Alford gutters
Where a run sags
Say which side of the house and whether the gutter has dropped in the middle or pulled away at one end. Sagging runs are rehung on new hangers and the slope is reset toward the outlet.
Trim color
For new gutters, tell us the trim color. Gutters come in colors picked to match the trim, so the new run looks like part of the house.
Profile
Our standard is the 6-inch gutter. Say if you would like half-round, which comes in aluminum or copper.
Leaking corners
Say which corner. A leaking joint is repaired at the joint.
Gutters now, or none
A roof edge with no gutter yet is new installation. One with gutters is repair, cleaning, guards or replacement.
After a storm
Give the date of the storm. A storm damage repair quote comes in writing and can be passed to your insurer.
Where the water lands
If a downspout empties onto steps or against a wall, say where. Downspouts can be moved, extended or added; the work stops above ground.
Garage doors
What to mention about an Alford garage door
Two questions sort a door request quickly: does the door move at all, and does the opener respond when you ask it to?
Remote or wall button
Say which of them work and which do not. No response from the opener is an opener-side fault, handled as opener repair or a new opener.
It goes down and comes back up
Say whether it reverses part way, or only closes while you hold the button. Both point to the safety sensors near the floor.
Sounds and sights
A loud bang, a cable hanging loose, a door sitting crooked, or grinding as it moves. Name the one you see or hear.
A new door
If you want a new door, say so. We measure the opening for it, and a new opener can be added.
Gaps around the door
Say if light, leaves or rain come in under or beside the closed door. Weather seals are replaced.
Wire shelving
What to mention about shelving in Alford
We supply the wire shelving and install it, so the request only needs to say where it goes and how you want to use it.
Every room on the list
Reach-in or walk-in closets, the pantry, the laundry room, the garage, a storage room. One room or all of them can go on one quote.
Garage walls
Say which walls are open and where the opener hangs. Garage shelving is laid out to stay clear of the door track and the opener.
Fixed or adjustable
Say whether you want shelves at set heights or an adjustable shelf-and-rail system you can move later.
What each room will hold
Clothes, linens, food, tools or stock. Shelf spacing follows what goes on it.
Builders
Builders who want shelving in new homes before move-in should give the addresses and the date each house will be ready for it.
Blower door test
What to mention for an Alford blower door test
For a newly built house, the booking needs the address, the permit number, the date the house will be ready and the person to call on site.
The ready date
The code allows the test any time after every penetration of the thermal envelope is made. That means the last pipe, wire, vent and duct through the shell is in.
What the test does
A fan fitted in an exterior doorway holds the house at the test pressure while the leakage is measured against the limit of 7 air changes per hour at 50 pascals.
Several houses
Say how many. Each house is tested on its own and gets its own result.
If the date slips
Call the office, and a new test date is set.
Attic and garage
Say whether the attic is vented or sealed at the roof deck, and whether there is an attached garage. A sealed attic is measured with the house; an unheated garage is not.
Businesses
Commercial gutters, doors and shelving in Alford
Three of the services cover commercial property: gutters, commercial and roll-up doors, and wire shelving for back rooms and storage.
Opening hours
Commercial gutter work is scheduled around the hours you are open. Say what they are and which days are quietest.
The door type
Say whether the door is a roll-up, a sectional door or a service door, and roughly how wide the opening is.
Several buildings
List every building on the property that needs work.
Earlier work and rentals in Alford
Mention anything already done: a new opener put in last year, gutters cleaned a month ago, old closet shelving already pulled out. It keeps the request to what is still needed.
If you rent the property out or manage it for someone else, give the name and number of the person who approves the work. Landlords and managers can have the gutters at several addresses looked at on one visit.
