Home Exteriors, Done Right! Vinyl, PVC, fiber cement, Siding. Windows. Exterior Doors. Vinyl Railings, Columns & Decking, Screened/Storm/Sun rooms... while the products change, our focus on meticulous installation practices and a customer first approach never changes! Choose Lonestar, and "You'll Never Pay a Penny Until the Day Your Work Begins!" Most home improvement contractors ask for 50% upfront...not Lonestar! You have plenty of options for home exteriors here in Richmond. Truth is, we’re not the biggest nor do we have the biggest staff of installers. We just continue to focus on doing things the right way, and our business continues to grow. Our Mission is to "Improve Lives While Improving Homes" How can we help you do both? ***Currently unable to do any repair work for new customers. We will do repair work for past customers***

"Very well. We were informed on a regular basis when the work would start and when the supplies dumpster and other items would arrive. Once everything arrived, the Lonestar staff began the process of removing the old siding and replacing it with the new siding. Partly through the process, the new storm doors were installed. All of this took about 10 days. The staff were very attentive to detail and really took pride in their work. Finally, the new gutters were installed. All in all, a job well done."

No More Dirty Roofs is the Richmond roof cleaning specialist you can trust. Not all roof cleaners are alike. All of our roof cleaning is done using non-damaging low pressure and green, environmentally safe formulas. All of our roof cleanings come standard with a minimum 2 year warranty, and we offer a maintenance package for an average of $50.00 a year that includes a lifetime warranty. We are licensed & insured up to 1 million dollars.

"Excellent work! At least 1/3 of my roof on the north side had a great deal of moss on it. On much of the rest of the roof there were small amounts of moss along the bottom edge of shingles, and there were patches in scattered places on the main part of the shingles. After Hector and his son cleaned the roof, it looked brand new. They removed plants and furniture from our deck before the job and replaced them after the job. They even did a light washing of the vinyl siding of the house, which was outside the agreed-upon scope of work, but they did not charge me for it. As a former member of a site safety office in a then-Fortune 50 company, I was particularly impressed with the excellent precautions they took to insure their safety on the roof during the job. Hector’s 27+ years of experience was evident in every aspect of the job. I plan to bring him back in a year for annual maintenance. I definitely recommend No More Dirty Roofs to any home owner needing roof cleaning."

"The contractor did an excellent job of interior painting on 4 different accent walls in my new home. He was professional , efficient and very attentive to the detail work accent wall painting required. Lots of edging and precise clean lines were required to do this accent wall and he did a superb job. I would recommend him to anyone who wants a professional painter who really knows about paint and how to apply it. "

Award winning. Gutter Glove of NC LLC is the premium supplier of gutter protection system in the State of North Carolina. Additional contact names - Richard Stroup, Louis Sauer. Additional phone - (919) 696-8839. Award wining.

"Owner Ricky Stroup was infinitely patient with us, as after our initial meeting it took us over a year to hire his company to do this work. During that year, we had multiple conversations with him regarding the scope of our project, and he was as willing to contract the scope as to expand it. He wrote several proposals for us, so we could see the financial impacts of our different scope options. Our indecision on scope, and delay in scheduling, never caused any frustration or ill will on his part. Mr. Stroup was helpful, friendly, and patient throughout! His team installed everything in one day, and all who worked on our project were extremely courteous and professional. We have been very impressed with the quality of the work. Working with Gutter Glove of North Carolina was an enjoyable experience, and I recommend this company!"

Cost is determined by a flat rate and by the job. No travel charges. License #CL A2705096597A.

"I would strongly suggest not using this company. I requested they replace my roof and repair the flashing issues I saw with an awning above my back door. They charged me $3700 which was just under the competition, so I was satisfied with the price but not alarmed by the difference. They then came out and replaced the shingles and roofing on all of my awnings and JUST the back of my A-frame/main roof. This left the front of my A-frame (the portion of my roof with the majority of the damage) original and unreplaced When contacted, they noted that their quote/estimate described the scope of work they performed. I personally do not understand how that scope of work was determined from my request and also do not believe that a customer should have to nit-pick through an estimate when they say "I want my roof replaced". They then offered to finish the job for $2800 more (eventually dropping to $2200) when confronted. So another 75% of the initial quote to finish the last 20-33% of the job. Note, had they given a quote for the scope of work REQUESTED and it came to $6500, I could've saved $2300 by going with another honest contractor with a slightly more expensive quote for the full job to be done. Seemingly an extremely unethical business practice used to make more money. I'm not sure what other way anyone else would see it with all of these hard facts considered."

We are now a Class A contractor. Our business focus will change with this new status. We will not be able to take on as many smaller projects as in the past. However, if you want to know the most information possible about your project prior to work beginning, you are in the right place, but please do not use us as an estimating service. We provide evaluations, (sometimes at a fee) of the requested work with budgetary estimates that you can use to make your decisions. Our extensive construction knowledge sets us apart from all the other companies and we are simply the best value out there. Our ability to "value engineer" a project is superior and we will guard some information/trade secrets to ensure we stay above the "pack". Once you commit to ZPL, you will be educated from start to finish. We function as a family owned & operated business and I am a working boss spending a great deal of time in the field on your projects making sure all is done well which helps to ensures our standards remain high. This can however, slow our response times on estimates and scheduling estimates from time to time so please be patient with us. You will get the same great service others are getting right now after you commit to ZPL and are scheduled accordingly.

If you are reading this please be sure to visit our website and fill out the contact form. This will ensure we can contact you ASAP. www.zeropunchlist.com Please be patient with us. We will give you the same dedication we are giving our current clients when your turn comes around. Rome was not built in a day and although the internet has made it very easy to make contact with someone's business, there are still logistical issues to coordinate and resolve before we all get what we want and when we want it. We will serve you with the same exhaustive service we are giving our current clients. We accept checks and cash for services rendered.

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Colonial Heights, VA

An average Cape Cod roof-raising project requires approximately two to three months from start to finish. The timeline depends on several variables, including weather conditions, contractor availability, material delivery schedules, and the specific complexity of your home's structure. The process involves multiple phases, including demolition, framing, roofing, window installation, and interior finishing. Working with an experienced contractor who provides a detailed timeline can help set realistic expectations for the project duration.

While most Cape Cod homes can accommodate roof-raising modifications, each house requires individual structural assessment. Older homes may need foundation reinforcement or wall strengthening before supporting additional weight. Factors like the existing roof framing system, load-bearing wall placement, and overall structural integrity all influence feasibility. A qualified structural engineer should evaluate your specific property before proceeding with design plans. Additionally, local zoning ordinances may restrict maximum building height or architectural modifications in certain neighborhoods.

Temporary relocation is highly recommended during a Cape Cod roof raising project. The construction process involves removing portions of your existing roof, exposing interior spaces to potential weather damage, and creating significant noise and dust. Most homeowners find temporary accommodations for the two to three-month construction period, with relocation costs ranging from $2,000 to $6,000, depending on your housing choices. If staying with family or friends isn't possible, budget for short-term rental or extended-stay hotel expenses as part of your overall project cost.

Consider roof raising when you experience severely limited headroom throughout the second floor, find yourself constantly stooping under sloped ceilings, or have minimal usable floor space due to low ceiling heights. Other indicators include inadequate natural light, poor ventilation, and difficulty accommodating standard furniture in upstairs rooms. Simple renovations can improve an attic's appearance, but cannot create additional headroom without structural modifications. A complete roof-raising project makes more sense than cosmetic renovations if you're seeking genuine second-floor living space rather than just storage improvements.

Begin your search by seeking contractors with specific experience in Cape Cod structural modifications and dormer additions. Request detailed portfolios showing similar completed projects and ask for references from previous clients with comparable work. Verify that potential contractors hold appropriate licenses and insurance coverage and understand local building codes relevant to roof raising. Interview multiple candidates, comparing price quotes and their communication style, project approach, and proposed timeline. The ideal contractor should demonstrate a thorough understanding of Cape Cod architectural characteristics and structural requirements.
