Exterior Renovations: Transforming a 1990s Custom Home

Packerland Team

Green Bay Packers fans love the Green and Gold. Some fans even chose green and gold for their homes in the 1980s and 1990s. Yellow houses with green shutters signified cheeriness, welcome, and pride in the hometown football team. Many of today’s homeowners prefer neutral colors like gray, white, and beige over yellow and green. Culbertson Construction offers comprehensive exterior remodeling services for homeowners ready to update their homes. As a general contractor, Culbertson Construction is fully licensed, insured, and capable of undertaking residential and commercial exterior renovation projects in Northeast Wisconsin.

An Exterior Makeover for a Green Bay Home

Culbertson Construction recently performed a variety of exterior remodeling work at a yellow and green home in Green Bay. The house was custom-built in the 1990s, and the second owners of the home wanted to modernize the exterior and make it their own. The homeowners recently replaced the roof, so the shingles were in good shape. So were the gutters, soffit, and facia. However, the windows and vinyl siding needed updating, and the homeowner called Culbertson Construction.

Do you have a steep roof on your home, maybe a gambrel, classic A-frame or modern gable? While the average handyman can’t imagine reroofing a steeply pitched roof, it’s just another day on the job for Culbertson Construction. For the best outcome, homeowners trust the expertise of a professional roofer over a handyman. Culbertson Construction outperforms handyman services in the areas of workmanship, licensing, construction knowledge, scope of work, and warranties. Here are five things to consider when deciding whether to hire a professional roofer or a handyman.

Large-Scale Home Renovations

The first thing to consider is the scope of the construction project. While a handyman performs a wide range of small-scale home repairs, professional roofers specialize in large-scale home renovations. Culbertson Construction specializes in five major contractor services.

  1. Roof replacement
  2. Roof repair
  3. Siding installation
  4. Windows installation
  5. Entry door & patio door installation

Professional Quality Roofing

Expertise is another factor to consider when hiring a roofer versus a handyman. Ben Culbertson has been working in construction since 1992, and he and his crew can complete even the most challenging roofing projects in Northeast Wisconsin. No residential construction project is too big or too complicated. Culbertson Construction works on homes of all sizes and architectural styles plus condos, town houses, and four-plex buildings.

Experienced Green Bay Roofer

Industry knowledge is another reason to hire a professional roofer for home renovation projects in Northeast Wisconsin. Professional roofers are familiar with building codes, building permits, and weight safety regulations. Homeowners can avoid costly penalties when they hire a licensed general contractor who understands Wisconsin construction laws. For example, Wisconsin requires building permits for roof replacement projects. However, building permit aren’t required for minor repairs, like replacing a couple of shingles lost in a wind storm.

Home Renovation Warranty

Warranties offer peace-of-mind protection from shoddy workmanship and inferior materials. Culbertson Construction stands by its workmanship with a 10-year labor warranty. Plus, Culbertson Construction partners with trusted manufacturers, like Owens Corning, who offer limited lifetime or 10-year manufacturer warranties. Compare this to a handyman who isn’t required to provide a warranty of any kind.

Licensed & Insured General Contractor

A handyman working in Wisconsin doesn’t need a license. In contrast, Culbertson Construction is a fully licensed and insured general contractor. As a licensed general contractor, Culbertson Construction carries workers compensation and liability insurance and obtained advanced education and the legal authority to pull building permits. Before construction begins, a legally binding contract establishes clear expectations for every home renovation project.
