Spring Cleaning: Fixing Roofing, Siding & Decking Issues
Get on top of your spring cleaning this year by making sure your roof, siding, and deck are all ready to brave the upcoming April showers. It is important to check all of these things beforehand in order to fix any problems that might have went unnoticed through the last season. Although we all dread the need to clean before spring, it usually helps in the long run.
This past hurricane season took the Myrtle Beach area by surprise. Hurricane Florence alone devastated North Carolina, South Carolina, as well as many other neighboring states causing up to $22 billion in damage. A lot of this damage occurred in our backyard. Horry County was drastically affected as many homes were destroyed, neighborhoods were ruined, and some businesses wrecked as well. Following that was the winter seasons which came with cold and windy days, sometimes including rain. All of these aspects can play a part into how your home and business could have been affected. Although it might not vividly appear on the face of your home or business, it could have internally damaged something causing these next spring months, filled with anticipated rain, to result in further damages to your roof, deck, or siding.
Roofing:
During past seasons and storms, shingles could have easily been ripped off due to intense wind and rain. If this is the case, it can allow for a leak to become present within your roof. If a leak is in your roof, it is very possible that it can cause catastrophic damage on your home including structural damage, mold or mildew, or even a roof collapse. It is important to check for any shingles that could have possibly been missing due to past weather conditions.
It is important to inspect your roof both externally and internally to make sure nothing is visibly wrong. After externally checking your roof, it is a good idea to head inside and take a look in your attic and on the ceiling to check to see if there are any obvious water spots. A water spot can indicate that there is a leak within your roof or piping. It is important to check for these damages as they can result in major damage if the go unnoticed for a long time.
Deck:
As the springtime approaches, decks are commonly used by friends and family to host events like barbeques, dinners, or get togethers. The idea of a deck is to be able to enjoy nice weather at the comfort of your own home.
Just like a roof, your deck could potentially could have underwent damage over the previous winter months. Intense rain can cause for decks to rot. Rotting can be visible or invisible depending on where the rotting is occurring. It is important to make sure to take a look under your deck to ensure that there is no rotting that is not immediately visible. To ensure that you can enjoy barbeques and kick backs on your deck, make sure that everything is sturdy and ready to go.
Siding:
Siding is used to protect the outside of your home as well as make it aesthetically pleasing to look at. As mentioned above, obviously winter and hurricane winds can affect your siding. It is very common that through the intense winds of hurricanes and such, that panels of your siding have fallen off or become cracked.

Brooks was my contractor on the project. He was awesome! He was there with me every step of the way! Eugenia was very helpful in the office and assisted me in getting the HOA approval. Jason explained the warranty process and even brought me a cake!
Everyone we came in contact with was very cooperative and easy to work with. It was a pleasant experience from the first online chat. They listened to us and helped solve any issues we were concerned about
Wow, this company goes above and beyond. From the very first reach out to the very last interaction once the job was completed. Everything was done first class. The quality of work, the constant communication and level of service was like nothing I’ve ever experienced with any contractor. I priced out a couple different contractors compared to contractor exteriors and I will tell you I would have paid more just to have this experience with them. I had Jonathan as my project manager and he was exceptional.
Very happy with our new Timbetech front porch deck and steps with AZEK facia and risers. Everyone at CE was responsive and very professional explaining every step in detail! We have several homeowners in our community who have already asked for contact info info. Jonathan is a very good project manager and ensured we were satisfied with the quality, cleanliness, and appearance of our new front porch! Thank you!
In choosing a company to replace our deck, we researched and decided to use Contract Exteriors. We definitely made the right choice. We are very pleased with the results. Special thanks to Brooks, our Project Manager, who kept us updated and informed everyday.
Contract Exteriors did a great job for me. The entire group was very responsive, and my deck project turned out fantastic. My project, as all projects, had some surprises that were handled professionally and promptly. Randy, Brooks, and the office staff were great throughout the process. They proactively kept me informed on the status of the project. I never had to call twice to get a question answered or ask for an accommodation.
We couldn't be happier with contract exteriors and the job they did. Our beach house looks brand new with the new Hardie board and white trim. EVERYONE was friendly, well mannered, professional, and was always ready to answer any questions that we had. Miguel and his crew did an excellent job. Brooks the project manager was wonderful, and also Chad who helped us from the very beginning, also the girls in the office. We would not hesitate to use them again.
This company did an amazing job on my siding project. From start to finish they were very professional, helpful, and on time. Eugenia clearly communicated the whole process to me before they even started the project and Brooks was always available to answer my questions. He even came and ensured the cleanup was perfect and finished up the exterior lighting. Even after the project was finished this company ensured communicated to ensure everything was perfect. Super pleased. Thank you!
Everything about this group was extremely professional. Renovations can be challenging but they carefully made sure that their products and our original structures fit together seamlessly. We are truly looking forward to our new elegant deck that will be essentially maintenance free for many, many years. We will definitely use this company for future projects.
Matt Kuzdrall made our whole experience of purchasing two new roofs for our buildings at the Children's Recovery Center so easy. Matt was professional and had all the answers to any questions we had. He has followed up since our new roofs have been installed to make sure everything is still great. Matt is awesome and I would recommend him to anyone I know looking for a new roof.
