3 Home Improvement Projects You Should Prioritize

At Custom Installations, we help homeowners achieve their home improvement and remodeling needs through our general contracting and roofing services. Picking the right project to prioritize on your next project is easier said than done, but it’s important that you do so to ensure you’re getting the most out of your home improvement.

We share the top three home improvement projects we advise homeowners to prioritize.

Roof Replacement

Your home’s roof plays a key role not just in protecting your home, but also in keeping your property as energy-efficient and attractive as possible. So you can imagine the disadvantages that come with an old or worn-out roof above your head. Keep in mind that although roofs have a set life span, ranging from 20 to 30 years, that’s the best-case scenario; weather exposure and other outside forces can drastically change that.

We recommend prioritizing roof replacement on your next home improvement project. This allows you to improve your home in three aspects: curb appeal, energy efficiency and security. We are one of the few local roofers that are certified by both GAF and CertainTeed that also offer custom metal roofing through our sheet metal fabrication services.

Siding Installation

Siding installation or replacement is another project you should prioritize for your next home improvement. It’s the superior exterior wall cover that last longer and surpasses wall paint in all aspects. New siding also improves your home’s curb appeal and value, on top of increasing your property’s resistance against weather. Insulated variants of siding can even improve your home’s energy efficiency.

Gutter Installation

Finally, never forget your gutters. The gutter system is one of the most forgotten parts of any home despite its key role in the home’s protection against water damage and other issues. At Custom Installations, we tailor-fit our gutter services to the specific needs of each homeowner. What sets us apart is that we have our own machinery to roll-form seamless gutters in multiple sizes, colors and metals on site and custom-fit them to your home.

As your local roofing and siding contractor, Custom Installations ensures quality home improvement services every time. Call us today at (847) 558-1967 to learn more about our services. We are a local roofing and siding contractor serving homeowners throughout Highland Park, IL.
