Booking our services across several Freeport houses
List each address with the services it needs and the date each one will be ready for them.
Blower door tests
Give the permit number for each house. Every house is tested separately and gets its own result.
Gutters
Gutter work on new construction is scheduled around the builder, once the roof and fascia are finished.
Garage doors
We measure each finished opening and quote a door to fit, with an opener if you want one.
Shelving
Closet, pantry, laundry and garage shelving, installed before buyers move in. Every room a house needs can go on one quote.
Test timing
When a Freeport house is ready for its blower door test
The energy code allows the test at any time after all penetrations of the building thermal envelope have been made. On site, that means the last pipe, wire, vent and duct through the shell is in. Give us that date as the ready date.
The limit
In Climate Zone 2, which covers Walton County, a new house must come in at or under 7 air changes per hour at 50 pascals.
A house over the limit
The leaks are corrected, then the house is tested again.
Booking details
A site contact who will answer the phone that day.
Outbuildings
Detached garages, shops and outbuildings on the same lot
Say which building each job is for.
Gutters on a building that has none
A detached garage, workshop or shed roof can get its own seamless gutter and downspout, placed so the water does not land in the doorway.
Doors on a detached garage or shop
The same repairs and new doors as an attached garage.
Shelving in the garage
Wall shelving kept clear of the door track and the opener, so the door still runs its full travel.
Outbuilding details
What to tell us about a detached building
Power
Whether the building has electricity, since a garage door opener needs an outlet near the ceiling.
Door size and type
Whether the opening takes a single or double garage door or a wider shop door.
Use
What the building holds, such as tools, equipment or stored goods.
Garage doors
Freeport garage door repairs
Springs and cables
A broken spring is replaced. A frayed or snapped lift cable is replaced as well.
Opener faults
An opener that hums or clicks without moving the door is repaired or swapped for a new one.
Tracks and rollers
A door off its track, or grinding as it moves, is put back in line and worn parts are changed.
Weather seals
A worn bottom seal, or worn seals at the sides and top, are replaced.
Gutters
Gutters for new and finished Freeport houses
New gutters are seamless, formed on site to each roof edge in the 6-inch standard size, in a color picked to match the trim. Where a house and an outbuilding stand close together, the downspouts on the facing walls can be placed so water does not collect in the space between them.
Repairs
Leaking corners and joints, sagging runs and sections that have come loose.
Cleaning and guards
Cleaning by hand with the downspouts flushed, and guards fitted over gutters that are cleaned and sound.
Downspout changes
Downspouts moved, extended or added. Our drainage work stops above ground at the downspout.
Wire shelving
Wire shelving for a Freeport house you live in
Reach-in closets
A shelf and a hanging rod, set for what hangs and what sits above it.
Laundry room
Shelving over the washer and dryer.
Pantry
Shelf levels spaced for the goods and small appliances you keep there.
Fixed or adjustable
Fixed shelving for a set layout, or a shelf-and-rail system when the shelf heights need to change.
Test day
Setting a Freeport house up for its blower door test
Interior doors
Open where they are installed, so the whole house is measured as one space.
Heating and cooling
Switched off for the test.
Attic
A vented attic is outside the test. An attic sealed and insulated at the roof deck is opened to the house and measured with it.
Attached garage
An unheated, uncooled garage is outside the test, while the wall and door between it and the house are part of the boundary.
Building one house yourself in Freeport
An owner-builder with a single house books the same way a builder does, with one address. The blower door test is the job with a deadline, so put it on the request first, and add the other services with a rough date for each.
A detached garage or shop built at the same time is not part of the air leakage test for the house.
