You step outside of your beautiful home onto your walkway and what do you see? Cracks, chipping and a concrete surface that's in serious need of replacement. Universal Home Improvement Inc. can install a new walkway for you, which in turn will be safer to walk on while improving the look and feel of your property.

Do you recall the last time you peered through your single pane window and admired the view while at the same time feeling chilled to the bone and wondering why your brand new heating system isn't making you any warmer? Surprise! Single-paned windows are notoriously energy inefficient, allowing air to circulate between the outside and inside of your home. Time to consider double-paned replacement windows. Not only do you get the benefits of sun protection, you also vastly improve the benefits of your home's insulation.

Are your lawns soggy? Do you have standing water around your foundation? Is there water leaking through or under your foundation? Do you have white foam growing out of your foundation? If so, a French Drain System may be exactly what you need! One of the most frequently seen defects when buying a home is damage caused by poor drainage. They're not immediately obvious to the naked eye. When left unattended, a simple fix can turn into a costly repair. Basement flooding or water flowing through and under your foundation can quickly turn into mildew, mold, or even worse, major property damage.

Do you dread the rains because you worry it'll leave your basement flooded? Have you stopped keeping valuable items in your basement because you don't want it destroyed by flooding? Give yourself the gift of peace of mind - call Universal Home Improvement, Inc. for expert sump pump installation and say goodbye tossing and turning all night worrying about your basement, and constantly checking the weather forecast for significant rainfall predictions. If you're looking to prevent your home from getting damaged by floods, sump pumps - which are designed to detect and remove water from low lying areas - are your best bet.

Home and property maintenance is a never-ending project. At some point, you're likely to identify leaks and gaps in the exterior of your home caused by poor installation or old siding. The cost to repair the damage can break the bank if you're not careful in selecting the right kind of material. In particular, vinyl siding! Applying vinyl siding to your home, when done correctly, will not only lower your exterior maintenance costs, it will also increase energy efficiency and the value of your home.

There are many ways by which water can enter and damage your home. Water enters your home through cracks in stucco walls, under the foundation of your home, through your basement walls and floors, or even from your outdoor patio or decking above of a room. When moisture gets to these crucial areas it can cause a great deal of damage such as cracked foundations, dry rot of your wooden walls and floor joist, and even mold and mildew. Do you see white foam growing out of your foundation? Are there chips of broken concrete on the floor next to your foundation?

Retaining wall installations can look nice from the front but if you don't pay serious attention to what goes on behind and below, you could be in for a nasty surprise. A poorly built wall can separate, lean, or even topple causing massive property damage. All because it wasn't built correctly or the proper drainage system isn't installed behind it!
