TR-EXTERIOR REMODELING

If you’ve noticed your home’s windows looking worn, dirty, or letting air into your home, you’re due for a window replacement. Typically, the lifespan of your home’s windows ranges from 15 – 20 years, no matter what brand you buy. Because technology is constantly advancing, the structure and fabrication of windows change every year or two. If your windows are 10+ years old, they’re likely missing critical features like energy efficiency, easy maintenance and can impact the value of your home. Scheduling a window replacement for your entire home guarantees better insulation and energy efficiency, allowing your home to regulate temperatures better while lowering your monthly utility bills.

Plus, with the introduction of products like Low-E glass windows, the initial investment will keep your home cooler and more comfortable for years to come. Low-E glass windows are designed to reduce the transfer of solar energy, which allows your home to regulate its temperature and keeps your furniture or carpet from fading. Even if your windows aren’t showing signs of age, replacing them after ten years makes your home more efficient and increases its total value. Whether you have double-hung windows, sliding windows, or casement windows, RJ Turner can handle any type of window replacement. Vinyl windows? No problem. Wood windows? You got it. Regardless of the type of windows that need replacing, you can get all your necessary windows replaced with RJ Turner Remodeling. In the end, scheduling a window replacement will boost your savings, curb appeal, and resale value. 

If you’re planning on painting the exterior of your home or updating the siding, let RJ Turner Remodeling replace your windows while we’re at it! Altogether, these exterior remodeling projects are quick fixes that can increase the curb appeal and value of your home.

Updating the exterior paint on your home is a great way to give it an entirely new look whether you want a change or plan to sell your home. Over time, many external factors add stress to your homes’ exterior, such as weather conditions and sun exposure. Moisture from rain, snow, sleet, and high humidity can cause the siding and color to distort and grow mildew. Even sunlight, over time, can cause your home’s exterior paint to fade.

By repainting your home’s exterior or siding regularly, you can maintain curb appeal and increase the value of your home. Painting your home is an excellent investment if you plan on selling your home because it’s a relatively minor expense that makes a lasting impression. Overall, it makes a massive difference in the look and feel of your home and is one of the most effective and affordable exterior remodeling projects.

However, if you’ve noticed warped wood, dry rot, or other signs of damage on your siding, you probably need an exterior siding replacement. One of the reasons you have damaged or rotting siding might be from the stress of your local climate and inclement weather (hello, North Carolina humidity). When this happens, it’s best to schedule a siding installation as soon as possible, so your home doesn’t experience additional damage. At RJ Turner Remodeling, we can replace the rotted wood and compromised siding to preserve your home’s structural integrity and help you choose the best exterior siding option. Any time you’re replacing wood siding, it’s essential to paint the entire exterior of your home to ensure an even, uniform appearance. When it comes to exterior siding, this remodeling job doesn’t just make your home look brand new – it preserves its integrity.

Unlike most siding materials, nothing is as durable, long-lasting, or beautiful as Hardie Plank siding. It’s resistant to fire, wind, rain, insect damage, and even fading, so the exterior of your home will look brand new for years to come. Its extreme durability has built up its reputation for outlasting other siding materials.

If you plan on selling your home and want an affordable exterior remodel with a high ROI, Hardie Plank siding is an excellent choice for you. Homeowners receive one of the highest returns on their investment by re-siding with fiber-cement siding.

If you’re someone who loves a natural or rustic exterior, cedar shake siding is an excellent alternative to other siding options. They’re thicker, more durable, and incredibly unique compared to other siding materials. Plus, you can treat your cedar shake siding with a blend of finishes or oils, resulting in an entirely custom look. In addition to its stunning appearance, it’s naturally resistant to water, insect damage, decay, and it’s an eco-friendly choice for the siding of your home.

In terms of unique yet durable siding, nothing does the job like cedar shakes. Its added curb appeal and durability make your home one of a kind.

When it comes to the outside of your home, you might not notice problems with its exterior, but sooner or later, issues pop up. One of the most common problems? Gutter damage. Surprising as it might sound, your gutter system is essential for protecting and preserving your home’s exterior. Debris, excessive water that can’t drain, and external gutter damage can lead to severe long-term problems if left untreated. You may not notice any direct leaks from your gutters; however, if you’ve found mold in your basement or if you’ve had problems with your home’s foundation, it could be a result of clogged or damaged gutters. Even exterior paint peels could be due to excess moisture from your gutters getting backed up and overflowing.

If you’ve noticed the following signs, this means your gutters need to be replaced:

• Gaps between the gutter connections
• Nails or broken fasteners on the ground (these typically have fallen from your loose gutters)
• Mold growing around your home’s foundation
• Water pouring out the sides of your gutters
• Standing water inside of your gutters
• Sagging gutters
• Bends, dents, or holes/cracks in your gutters

While it’s easy to forget about your gutters, they play a pivotal role in protecting your house from moisture. Their main job is to divert water away from your home, which is essential to the long-term health of your home. Ignoring gutter damage could put your home at risk for mold and rotting wood damage. Our exterior remodeling services don’t just repair your home – they help protect you and your family from potential health risks as well.
