Beyond the Studs: Return on Investment (ROI) & Home Remodeling

January 5, 2024 No Comments

In this episode of Beyond the Studs, Josh Gauwitz, owner of Legacy Exteriors, talked all about the potential for return on investment (ROI) on home remodeling projects, which is always good news for homeowners. Here’s what Josh had to say … I recently read an article on BankRate.com that talked about all of the “high-yielding” home Improvements people can make that typically yield a solid return on their investment. The article made some good points — things we’ll talk about with homeowners who are looking to remodel or make improvements — and I realized it would be a good topic for Beyond the Studs.  That said, before we dive into what those high yielding projects are, I’d like to point out a few of the remodeling projects that homeowners seem to love, that don’t yield an ROI when selling a home. These are just a few examples of some of the more popular renovations: • Lavish lighting fixtures are a must-have for many of the homeowners we work with • Converting a bedroom into a

In addition to residential roofing, we also handle commercial roofing in the Madison area.

Five Fantastic Facts about Fiberglass Windows

December 21, 2023 No Comments

Fiberglass windows are amazing. Their benefits go much deeper than aesthetic appeal and energy efficiency, which is why we’d like to share five fantastic facts about fiberglass windows, as well as a bit of information regarding the top three fiberglass window brands we work with.  There’s no shortage of companies selling fiberglass windows in the Madison, WI, area, so before we get started with the benefits of the windows themselves, we’d like to mention the importance of a benefit not directly related to the windows — and that’s the windows contractor you choose to hire for the job. No matter which company you choose, make sure they are a local, licensed window contractor. As we talked about in a recent Beyond the Studs episode, installation errors can cause all kinds of problems with replacement windows. Inquiring about window warranties is also suggested, as this is also a determining factor in who you should work with and what window brand to have installed. OK, so on to five (plus a couple of extra) benefits of fiberglass

Beyond the Studs: How Do You Know When You Need New Windows?

December 15, 2023 No Comments

In this episode of Beyond the Studs, Josh Gauwitz, owner of Legacy Exteriors, talks all about windows. Here’s what Josh had to say … The countdown to the end of the year has begun, and with it comes colder weather across America’s Dairyland. And when it gets chilly, or downright bitterly cold outside, homeowners may start to notice the tell-tale signs that they might need new windows. One of the signs that your windows may be past their prime is if they start fogging up when it gets really cold. This could be a sign that you possibly have a seal failure. If you notice fogging, it’s definitely worth looking into having a professional come take a look. At the very least they’re not as energy efficient as they should be. And of course if you’re feeling that your windows are drafty, or you’re noticing that it’s getting colder faster in the house, or your heat is turning on more often than it used to — any or all of these could be a sign

December 7, 2023 No Comments

In this episode of Beyond the Studs, Josh Gauwitz, owner of Legacy Exteriors, talked all about planning for spring, as well as Four Seasons sunrooms and LifeRooms. Here’s what Josh had to say … In Wisconsin, we experience every kind of weather, and when it gets really cold and snow is piling up outside, many of us just want to stay indoors until the warmer weather rolls around.  The thing is, there is true beauty in those cold, snowy months here in Wisconsin — which is why many of our customers have us build them a Four Seasons sunroom so they can experience the outdoors all year round from the comfort of their sunroom. For example, some days we get a lot of sunshine, but you don’t want to be outside because it’s so cold. With a sunroom, you can enjoy the sun and the view — all from the warmth of your home. It’s an amazing experience to have a Four Seasons sunroom, and it really transforms one’s home. But before we go any
