Writing a Jacob City request
The place
The street address, the ZIP code and the town name.
The building
A house, a detached garage, a shop, or a new house still being built.
The problem or the project
What you see going wrong, or what you want added where there is nothing now.
The person
Who can be reached on weekdays, and who opens up on the day if that is someone else.
Gutters
Gutters: new seamless runs, cleaning and repairs
For gutters, say whether the building has them now, what they are doing, and which side of the building the problem is on.
New seamless gutters
Formed on site to fit each roof edge, in the standard 6-inch size, with colors picked to match the trim.
Cleaning
Gutters are cleaned by hand, the downspouts are flushed, and the debris is taken away.
Repairs and guards
Leaking joints, sagging runs and loose sections are repaired, and guards can go over existing gutters once they are clean and sound.
Downspouts
A downspout can be moved, extended or added to keep water off steps and walls. Work stops above ground.
Half-round
Half-round gutters come in aluminum or copper.
Water running behind the gutter
The gutter height and slope are reset so water goes into the trough.
Garage doors
Garage doors: a crooked door, springs, openers
For a garage door, describe what it does when you run it and what it looks like when it stops.
Crooked or low on one side
Say which side sits low. An uneven door is a repair to the lifting parts on that side.
Springs and cables
A broken spring is replaced, and a frayed or snapped cable is replaced.
Reversing or not closing
The safety sensors near the floor are realigned or replaced.
Openers and new doors
Openers are repaired or replaced, and new doors are measured to the opening.
Gaps under or beside the door
Worn weather seals at the bottom, sides and top are replaced.
A dented section
A single damaged panel is repaired or replaced.
Shelving
Wire shelving: one closet or the whole house
For shelving, list the rooms and say what each one will hold: clothes, linens, food, tools or stock.
Supplied and installed
We supply the wire shelving and install it. One room or the whole house can be on one quote.
Reach-in closets
The shelf and rod are set for what you hang and what you stack.
Other rooms
Walk-in closets, pantries, laundry rooms, garages and storage rooms take the same shelving.
Builders
Shelving for new homes can go in before move-in, booked with the builder.
Fixed or adjustable
Fixed shelves stay at one height. Adjustable shelf-and-rail lets you move them later.
Pantry and laundry
Pantry levels spaced for cans and boxes, and a shelf with a hanging rail over the washer and dryer.
New homes
Blower door tests for a new Jacob City house
For a new house, give the address, the permit number, the date the house will be ready and the person to call on site.
When to book
After the last opening through the shell is made: every pipe, wire, vent and duct. Booking ahead of your deadline leaves time to correct leaks and retest.
What the test is
A fan in an exterior doorway holds the house at test pressure while the leakage is measured. The limit is 7 air changes per hour at 50 pascals.
Additions
An addition or alteration under 85 percent of the building envelope is an exception to the test.
Test-day set-up
Windows and exterior doors closed, dampers closed, heating and cooling off, interior doors and registers open.
An attached garage
An unheated attached garage is outside the test, but the wall and door between it and the house are measured.
Several jobs on one Jacob City property
A house in Jacob City can need gutter cleaning, a garage door repair and closet shelving at the same time, and all three can go on one request. Write one line for each job, say which building it is for, and give one name and number for the property. If one job matters more to you than the others, put it first.
Other buildings
Garages, sheds and shops on a Jacob City lot
A property with more than one building can list them all on the same request.
A detached garage or workshop
Its door gets the same repairs as an attached garage.
A shed with no gutter
A seamless run and a downspout can be added to any roof edge that sheds water where you do not want it.
A shop or other business building
Gutters, commercial and roll-up doors, and back room shelving are all covered for commercial property.
Someone else on site
When you will not be at the Jacob City property
A rental, a family property or an empty house can be booked by phone from anywhere.
Who approves
The owner or manager who agrees to the quote.
Outside-only work
Say whether the job is all outside, such as gutter cleaning, so the office knows if anyone needs to be inside.
Several addresses
Landlords and property managers can have the gutters at several addresses looked at on one visit.
Timing
What sets the timing of a Jacob City job
Business hours
Commercial gutter work is fitted around the hours a business is open.
The builder
Gutters on new construction are scheduled around the builder.
A slipped date
If a new house is not ready on the booked test date, call and a new test date is set.
