- Kitchen RemodelingWe work to ensure that every bathroom is a serene, functional part of your home. Like kitchens, the remodeling of the bathroom involves three main ingredients: 1) the selection and installation of the cabinetry; 2) the selection and installation of the countertops, tile, and plumbing fixtures; and 3) the construction process in general. To coordinate it all is an experienced construction team - that's Skolfield Homes.

- Window Installation/ReplacementWindows and doors, after roofs, make up the majority of water intrusion, especially poorly built new modern homes without an overhang.

- GuttersIn the 1920’s homes breathed, weren’t insulated much, and basically leaked air like a screen porch. Now, new homes are like a very large zip lock bag, with some furniture and humans. This can work, it can keep you cool in the summer with low humidity and electric bills, but must be done just right. Often serious mistakes are made. Water comes in by way of vapor through the walls and bulk water from rain, pipes, HVAC drain lines, gutters, etc.. Squirrels sometimes eat the lead around a plumbing stack on the roof. Really, it’s a thing.

Roof cement or caulking is the go-to for a quick solution but rarely the proper way to correct the problem long term. line leaks can occur. A trim nail unintentionally compromising the pipe due to poor molding installation is one cause. Interestingly a squirrel or rodent will often eat the lead around a pipe that goes to the roof, altering the integrity of the pipe
