PAINTING / SHEETROCK

8/26/2016

A quality paint job can collectively increase the appearance and protect the construction material of your home. As paint and stain fade over time so do the initial beautiful look and protective coating that were once on your house. Keeping a fresh coat of paint or stain on your house will help protect it from the elements and keep it looking beautiful. Miter Contracting offers complete professional interior and exterior painting services.

In addition to delivering quality, we understand that having contractors in your house can be annoying and cumbersome. We take every precaution in protecting your contents and will make sure a timeline and schedule are adhered to.

Preparing the walls, ceilings, trim, moldings and siding is as important as the quality of the products we use to paint with. At Miter Contracting we believe that all areas scheduled for paint or stain should be touched up and thoroughly sanded before the application of any new product.

Sheetrock comes in different thicknesses and styles and different products are needed based on where they are going. Whether it is a minor sheetrock touch up or hanging an entire house, Miter Contracting can assist with all your sheetrock needs.

Ceilings have many different finishes – slick, popcorn, stipple and orange peel are just a few. Miter Contracting has experienced team members that can match stipple, install popcorn and slick ceilings. Contact Miter Contracting today to have a team member come out and look at your sheetrock or painting project!

INSULATION

8/26/2016

Enticed by utility company incentives, owners of existing homes are looking to re-insulate as a way to boost home comfort and increase energy efficiency.

Miter Contracting offers different types of professional insulating services. For maximum energy efficiency we recommend at least 18” of insulation for attic floors which can be installed as a batt/roll or blown as loosefill. Both styles can be installed over existing insulation or installed during new construction.

Proper attic cross venting is instrumental in keeping your attic cool in the summer. A well ventilated attic has soffit and ridge vents which allow fresh air to flow in through the soffit and out through the ridge removing excess heat and unwanted moisture.

Miter Contracting uses top of the line insulating products from Owens Corning.
Some situations will lend opportunity to additional insulating options. Please call
us to set a time for one of our team members to come out to inspect the
insulation levels of your home or office.

SIDING

Energy efficient windows, doors and skylights can help lower a home’s heating, cooling and lighting costs. Miter Contracting can offer selections of new windows and doors that meet the current Energy Star® rating. New windows with insulated Low-E glass and high performance weather stripping can make a significant difference in your monthly energy costs. Some windows come with the option for argon gas between the panes in place of oxygen increasing the insulation levels and reducing the heat transmission.

The addition of a new or upgraded skylight can enhance the beauty of your home or office while adding natural lighting. Some skylights provide enough light to fully replace the need for electrical light during the day.

Miter Contracting offers a full line of exterior doors and door systems. Whether your preference is fiberglass or wood, our team can assist you with selecting an exterior door system with upgraded hardware, weather stripping and multiple finish options.
We can insulate your walls, crawl space, attic and basement using different insulation materials, including:

Fiberglass (loose-fill, blown-in or rolls and batts)
Cellulose
Foam
Radiant barrier

You probably won't even know that your home is inadequately insulated until you see an energy bill that is much higher than normal. In fact, almost 50 million homes don't have the right amount of insulation and are making their owners' utility bills skyrocket!
In addition to high energy bills, other things that indicate your home may need more insulation are:

Drafty rooms
Uneven temperatures
Colder than normal walls and floors in the winter
Ice dams in the winter
AC running more than normal during the summer

Benefits of Home InsulationThe benefits of having a properly insulated home extend beyond comfort! Other advantages include:

Increased energy efficiency and reduced energy costs
Increased market value for your home
Reduced outside noise

Whether you're building a new home and need to insulate or want to add more insulation to your current home, we can ensure your home is the most energy efficient and durable it can be.

ROOFING

8/26/2016

At Miter Contracting, we understand how frustrating unwanted water inside the home can be. Locating the exact cause of a leak is oftentimes difficult. Many times what looks to be a roof leak is linked back to a faulty gutter or chimney cap. Other times water can be coming in from an exterior wall, cracked boot, skylight, roof stack, basement or foundation.

Miter Contracting offers free roof inspections, estimates and most leak detecting trips. In the event detecting a leak requires a significant amount of demo or labor, a detailed estimate explaining the scope of work will be provided prior to the commencement of any work.

If the roof is past the manufacture’s listed life or if it is more cost effective to replace the roof instead of patching, Miter Contracting can assist with the entire process of a full roof replacement. We offer and use only the top roofing materials available. The team members at Miter Contracting have over 20 years in the roofing industry and guarantee a quality project from beginning to end.

Miter Contracting provides a complete step by step roofing replacement including yard and landscape protection, full removal of roofing material down to the deck, re-fastening or replacing decking, installation of ice/water shielding, new boots, stacks, underlayment, shingles, venting and clean up using powerful magnets to pick up nails and staples.

Miter Contracting is a full service storm damage contractor restoring all types of storm damage including hail, wind, fire and water. We have excellent relationships with many insurance companies and are very familiar with insurance company protocols.

We will never ask for money up front and will always make sure you are completely satisfied before submitting an invoice for the project. Contact a team member at Miter Contracting today to schedule your free roof inspection!
