I was able to afford a sizable property in Fort Worth, Texas, because the house and yard needed a great deal of work.
The former owners neglected maintenance, repairs and updates.
The house was also left empty for several years. The elements and pests had caused some deterioration. Being fairly handy, I was able to save money by managing the majority of work myself. Unfortunately, I paid very little attention to the roof. A home inspection found no issues with the roof, so I didn’t worry about it. I didn’t notice that there were no gutters. Fort Worth experiences approximately three feet of rain and one inch of snow annually. Although the moisture isn’t excessive, it still caused significant erosion around my foundation. There was also damage to exterior siding, windows and doors. Trying to enter the house during a rainstorm was like walking through a waterfall. I got completely soaked. I checked around for a reputable roofing company and came across Miller Storm Roofing and Reconstruction. The company is based out of DFW and has wonderful reviews. They are licensed, insured and experienced. I was able to schedule a free drone inspection by way of an online contact form. The process was very convenient. I didn’t need to interrupt my day to meet with anyone until I’d received an estimate and agreed to it. They recommended the installation of seamless gutters. Not only do seamless gutters create a modern, clean appearance, they are less likely to develop blockages. There are no seams to attract buildup, which minimizes maintenance. Plus, the roofing contractor custom fitted the seamless gutters to my roof. Having gutters improves curb appeal, contributes to the longevity of the roof and adds value to the property.
