An exterior general contractor takes responsibility for the entire outside of your home under one contract — roofing, siding, windows, gutters, trim, and flashing — rather than you hiring a separate roofer, siding company, and window installer and coordinating them yourself. One company sequences the trades in the right order, manages the project, and stands behind the finished result with a single warranty. It matters most on full exterior remodels and storm restoration, where the roof, siding, and windows all interact and have to be integrated correctly to keep water out.

When separate companies handle the roof, siding, and windows, the connections between them — the areas that actually leak — become nobody’s clear responsibility. Step flashing where the roof meets the wall, window head-flashing tucked under the siding, and the drip edge behind the gutters all cross trade boundaries. A single exterior contractor owns those transitions, sequences the work so each trade laps over the one below it, and gives you one point of contact and one warranty instead of three separate bids, schedules, and warranties to reconcile — each pointing at the other when something fails.

Yes — storm and hail damage to the exterior is a core part of what we do. We inspect and document the damage across the whole envelope, meet the adjuster on site, build and defend the scope of work so nothing gets missed, and manage supplements when additional damage is found. In most cases your only out-of-pocket cost is your deductible, unless your policy is ACV-only, in which case depreciation may apply. Because we handle every exterior trade, we can restore roof, siding, gutters, and window damage as one coordinated claim.

A roof-only replacement is usually one to two days. Siding runs several days to a couple of weeks depending on the home. A full exterior remodel combining roofing, siding, windows, and gutters typically takes one to three weeks of active work once materials are on site, with lead time before that for material orders and scheduling. We give you a realistic schedule at contract, and because one crew runs the whole project, the trades don’t sit waiting on each other.

Absolutely. Plenty of our projects are a single trade — a roof replacement, a gutter job, or a window set. The general-contractor advantage simply means that when a project does involve more than one trade, or when you’re not sure how far the damage goes, you’ve got one company that can see and handle the whole envelope rather than handing you off.

We’re a Wisconsin-certified Dwelling Contractor, GAF Certified+ and Malarkey-certified for roofing, and carry liability and workers’ compensation insurance. Manufacturer certification means we can offer stronger, longer workmanship and material warranties than an uncertified installer — including up to 25-year workmanship coverage — and one warranty covers the finished exterior rather than separate coverage from each trade.
