A Stone Veneer and a Maintained Roof Can Sell Your Home
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Sturat_Mitchel]Sturat Mitchel
When trying to sell your home it can be worth it to have the roof redone or to put up a stone veneer. Both will increase resale value of a house. Roofing New York contractors are quite busy fixing or changing roof lines. People have discovered that by making a small change the value of their homes increase. Having repairs done before listing their home causes the market value to increase. The homes sell faster as well simply because they look good and have been maintained. Roofing New York contractors have to get work permits before doing any structural changes. Even if you are not trying to sell your home it is a good idea to have your roof checked out. It is important to maintain your roof. You want to find any problems before they become more costly repairs. New York contractors are available to do roofing inspections.
Stone Veneer Staten Island contractors can turn a so/so home into one that looks stately. Real stone veneer is a heavy duty job that will require structural reinforcing such as footings or foundation. Most of these Staten Island contractors will suggest going with artificial stone veneer. It weights only a small percentage of what natural stone does. It will not require extra structural reinforcement. Artificial can be installed over concrete, brick, brick and even drywall. Another reason. Island contractors will recommend artificial stone veneer is because it is less expensive to install than real stone. Stone will need specialized masonry tools. Faux stone veneer does not. There is less labour involved keeping costs down. Faux stone will also last for quite some time. There is less maintenance involved then with a painted home. Stone veneer is a good investment. It increases a home's value and looks better then brick and other siding options.
No matter what work you are getting done always do your research before hand. Find out what companies have excellent reputations. Also make a point of knowing if you need a work permit or not. If a contractor is doing a large job that changes a feature or the structure of a house they probably need a permit. The permit is your way of making sure work is properly inspected and approved. This is about safety and the quality of the work.
