How Important is Siding?

Some may think that siding provides nothing more than decor for the exterior of a home; that it serves no other purpose than to make the outside pretty. Those people are absolutely wrong. Siding is an important part of the home, and it's probably more important than you think it is.

Siding is a protective layer that defends your home from the elements, such as rain, snow, hail, items blown by the wind, and more. It also prevents insects and other pests from gaining access to your home. There are many different types of siding, each with their own pros and cons, ranging from the type of material they use to how much they cost to purchase and install. But all serve that all-important job of acting as your home's exterior armor.

Delta Construction has been installing siding in the Twin Cities region for years. If you're interested in what we can do for your home, give us a call today at (651) 797-3672. You can also complete a free siding quote request on our website.

Gutter Cleaning Tips

Gutters are an important part of your home. They collect the water runoff from the roof, and keep that water from seeping into the ground near the foundation of your home, which can affect the foundation negatively.

Wear a pair of good work gloves. You'll be putting your hands in potentially dirty gutters, so wearing gloves is one way to keep them clean. You'll also minimize the risk of cutting yourself on a sharp gutter edge by wearing gloves.

Lean your ladder against a solid, stable surface. Be sure the surface you lean the ladder against is also flat. Don't try to prop your ladder against a nearby tree or anything else potentially unstable.

Get a gutter scoop. This scoop, akin to a small shovel, keeps you from having to remove gutter garbage by hand.

Run the hose through the gutter. Before you pack up your supplies and call the job complete, it's a good idea to run a hose through your gutters and test them out. If you notice some flooding, you have some more work to do to get your gutters back in shape.

Do you need a new gutter installation, or perhaps some of your gutter system repaired? Delta Construction specializes in gutters. Give us a call today at (651) 797-3672.

Try Energy Efficient Windows

How have your heating bills been so far this winter? Pretty high? If that's the case, maybe it's time to address that and take steps to bring your bills down.

When most people think home insulation, they think of the kind that goes in the walls and ceiling. Have you thought about your windows? Not only can replacement windows improve the look of your home, they can also increase the energy efficiency of your home. When you have better insulated windows, your heater works less to keep your home at a constant temperature, and you use less energy as a result.

Is it Time for a Roof Replacement?

In Minnesota, one of the first lines of defense for your home against a snowy onslaught from Mother Nature is your roof. While most roofs are not meant to be completely, 100% waterproof, they are supposed to shed water and snow, and keep moisture out of your home. If you're experiencing leaks already, the structural integrity of your roof could be in jeopardy, and a roof replacement is likely in your best interest.

Delta Construction can handle this task, bringing years of experience to the table. We'll first perform a pre-inspection of the job site, planning out your new roof's installation process carefully in advance. After that, we'll come back to remove any existing roof installation to make room for your new one. Finally, we'll install your new roof. Post-installation, we'll clean up the worksite and do one last walkthrough to make sure you, the homeowner, are happy with your new roof and our work on the project.

If your current roof isn't doing its job and you know it's time for an upgrade, give us a call today at 651-447-6798.
