Beyond The Studs: Roofing Season & The Trust Factor

September 8, 2023 No Comments

In this episode of Beyond the Studs, Josh Gauwitz — owner of Legacy Exteriors — explains how we earn our customer’s trust with our “no-bid-on-site” approach and why you shouldn’t wait until snow falls to wonder if your roofing will make it through the season. Here’s what Josh had to say … With the 90-degree weather we’ve been having, it’s easy to forget that winter is coming. But autumn is here and that means it’s time to reassess that roofing project.  Fall is the perfect season to talk to a roofing contractor because we typically have moderate temperatures and fewer severe storms. The problem is that most people wait until spring in the hopes that they can make it through one more winter. If your roof is in poor shape and needs replacing, do not wait!

But here at Legacy Exteriors, we work with you

August 4, 2023 No Comments

In this episode of Beyond the Studs, Josh Gauwitz spoke about storm damage here in Wisconsin. He also covers when it’s smart to have your home inspected, insurance claims, an the importance of doing your homework when choosing a company to work on repairs from storm damage … Recently, some pretty severe weather hit southern Wisconsin, and even in the far eastern parts of Sun Prairie you could hear sirens going off when it occurred. It was pretty crazy.  What I’d like to do is talk about how a homeowner can proceed in the event of storm damage, so the people in our community are prepared when this kind of stuff happens.  To begin, you need to know what type of potential issues you should be looking for after a storm. Obviously, there may be clean up of branches and debris, but what about your home itself?

July 28, 2023 No Comments

In this episode of Beyond the Studs, Josh Gauwitz spoke about the Wisconsin weather and how it can affect the exterior of your home, especially if your roofing or siding is in need of repair. Here’s what Josh had to say … Living in Wisconsin, we have extreme weather conditions — from below freezing cold, to smoldering heat, and everything in between. So it can really open the exterior of our house up to a lot of potential problems. If your siding or roofing isn’t holding up the way it should, that extreme temperature change can really break down the composition of those materials … especially if there is a manufacturer’s defect, or even a labor defect. This can open the exterior of a home to an array of potential problems. So, it’s always good to have an inspection done by either yourself, or a professional, which could be just a visual inspection. Some of the issues are going to be extremely obvious, like if you if you’re on a roof and you see cracking

When it’s time to replace your roof, it’s important to understand what your options are so you can weigh out which type of roofing is best for your home — and your budget. At Legacy Exteriors, we install three kinds of roofing: asphalt, metal and rubber. That said, today we’re going to focus on the benefits of metal roofing, to give you a solid idea of what you can expect if you choose this type of solution. Let’s start off with a quick definition … A premium product, metal roofing has a higher cost than asphalt shingles. It also has a much better lifespan, as a metal roof can last for up to 50 years or more. We often install standing seam metal roofing systems, which are a type of roofing that is made of aluminum, and can last up to 50 years without needing any major repairs or replacements. A standing seam metal roof has interlocking panels that run from the ridge of the roof to the eave.  THE BENEFITS OF METAL ROOFING COLOR
