The entry doors you pick for your home can make a big difference, not only in the outside appearance of your home, but also in your family's security and in your energy costs. Your front door is the first impression visitors get of your home as well as your first line of defense against intruders. Obviously, you'll want a door that makes a good impression and one that complements the architecture and style of your home. Wood doors give a home a romantic, old world look, but metal and fiberglass doors can be made to resemble wood.

Have you been putting off replacing your windows because you were afraid of the hassle and confused about the number of choices available?

Are you looking for a water drainage system that will quickly and efficiently whisk rain water and melting snow away from your home without compromising the sleek look of your home's exterior? Do you want an affordable system that blends in with your home's design? Consider a seamless gutter system. Not only are seamless gutters attractive, without hinges and bolts to detract from your home's exterior beauty, but they lack the seams where moisture and debris can accumulate, compromising the entire system.

Do you like the look of wood siding, but are leery about the cost and maintenance of painting it every five years? Consider fiber cement siding products. Connecticut home and business owners can enjoy years of beautiful siding without the cost of frequent painting. Fiber cement siding is a composite of sand, cellulose fiber and cement, shaped to resemble wooden shingles. This product is available in a rainbow of colors, from tan to forest green to even red. Connecticut home and business owners will find a number of advantages to fiber cement siding over traditional wooden shingles.

Putting a new roof on your home is a big investment, one that you want to last for many years to come. In addition to being a water barrier and controlling vapor and heat flow, the right roof adds beauty, style and a sense of permanence to your structure. It's important to hire the best roof contractors you can find. Even the best quality roofing products fail if not installed correctly. Water will easily find the weakest point in the roof and work its way into your house if the entire roof installation is not properly executed.

Does it seem like you fight a losing battle with your leaves each fall season? Does debris clog your downspouts on a regular basis, causing cascades of water to roll over your home each time it rains? Adding gutter guards to your home can make gutter maintenance easier and prevent water damage caused by a clogged drainage system. Guards fit atop your existing gutters and act as a barrier to leaves, twigs and other debris, while still allowing water to drain away from your house. There are several different guard designs, based on the type of gutters you have.

Are you tired of painting your front door every few years? Do you want a door that will add to your home's energy-efficiency rather than detract from it? Do you want a door that will wow your visitors the moment they approach your house? If so, it's time to consider replacing your entry and/or patio doors. Improvements in design and construction of both entry and patio doors over the last few years make it a good time to consider replacing your exterior doors. Fiberglass entry doors add an extra layer of insulation between the elements and the inside of your house, saving you money on your energy bills.

Roof installation is one of the most important aspects of choosing and adding a new roof to your home. However, it is also one of the most neglected by homeowners. Although choosing who will install your roof isn't as glamorous as choosing shingle styles and colors, roof installation can mean the difference between a leaky roof and one that will last for years to come. The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) suggests the following guidelines for choosing a professional for a roof installation.

Siding is extremely important to the appearance and functionality of a house. For those who spend countless hours and money scraping and repainting the house year after year, vinyl siding is the solution you have been looking for. It is also a great way to increase the energy efficiency of your home. There are numerous brands and styles of vinyl and wood siding that we use to match both your tastes and your budget. At some places, you hire one company, but then get contractors and sub-contractors doing the actual installation who have no loyalty to the company - or to you.

There are two important things you need to know about selecting the right gutters and downspouts for your home. First, you need a proven system engineered to deliver long-lasting protection against the elements. Second, you need to make sure that system works just as hard on the sunniest of days to enhance your exterior design, complimenting your roof and siding. Berkeley Exteriors can help you select the system that is right for your home and your budget. Gutters play an important role in keeping your siding and grounds in good condition.

Installing a new roof or repairing an existing one can be an expensive proposition, one of the top five expenses that homeowners face. Still, putting off repairs or the purchase of a new roof can lead to leaks inside of your home as well as higher-than-necessary heating and cooling bills. Berkeley Exteriors has been helping southern Connecticut homeowners install new roofs for nearly 20 years. We're a locally-owned, locally-managed company, not a company that's here one season and gone the next.

Each year homeowners lose hundreds of dollars due to old and improperly insulated windows. New windows serve to enhance the appearance of your home, as well as save you money on painting and reglazing. New windows will also help you save money on your heating and cooling bills. Whether you want to replace current windows or add new vinyl or wood ones, we can help in both design and construction. We're never high pressure and we won't try to sell you something you don't need. Request a no obligation quote and you'll be surprised at how reasonable our rates are.

Siding, once a cheap alternative to more expensive wooden shingles or brick, has come of age. Today's siding is stylish and some products even look so much like wood that you don't realize they're not until you are right on top of them. Siding also offers the advantages of being energy-efficient, wind-resistant and relatively maintenance-free. Crane manufactures a variety of top-of-the-line siding products, designed with the look of wood, but the durability and strength of vinyl. Crane siding is impact-resistant, moisture-resistant and easy for installers to work with.

Are you looking to open up the end of your living room, family room or bedroom to connect it to a deck or patio, or to allow more light into the room? Do you want doors that are energy-efficient as well as attractive? Today's patio doors have double panes and are much more energy efficient than previous generations of doors. Such products are also more secure and feature shatter-resistant glass so an intruder can't easily break the glass to gain entry into your home. Vinyl doors are virtually maintenance-free and don't have to be painted every few years like wooden doors.

Have you pledged to never have to empty your gutter troughs of leaves again? Is it getting cumbersome, not to mention dangerous, for you to climb up to the roof's edge to maintain your gutters? You need Alcoa Leaf Relief gutter covers. Alcoa Leaf Relief gutter covers, also called Mastic water removal systems, are aluminum (or copper) gutter guards that fit over existing or new gutters and protect your gutters from leaves and other debris. The system is designed so that leaves and twigs don't accumulate atop the guard, but are whisked away with the first gentle breeze.
