Doors that close tight
Doors in Northern Michigan houses move with the seasons. A door that sticks in spring and lets daylight through in January usually needs more than a new strip of weatherstripping — it can be the frame, the hinges or the threshold. Door replacements are shimmed, flashed and sealed so they open easily and close tight year-round.
Skylight leaks
Most skylight leaks come from the flashing around the unit, not the glass. Repairs rebuild the step flashing and head and sill flashing so water is shed around the skylight rather than into the ceiling below.
Trim that finishes the job
New casing and trim around doors and windows — inside and out — is often the detail that makes a room look finished.
