Here is a project that involved adding on to a small existing garage. Lakeside handled all aspects of this project from concrete work to the metal siding. From the photos we can see we did some structural repair to the existing garage as well. Framed up the new garage, hung doors and windows, as well as the garage doors, hung metal siding and installed a metal roof. With the assistance of local electrician, Thompson & Son Electrical (Guthrie Center) we ran the electrical wire and lighting for the new addition.

Project window and door swap. Put a new door where the window was and a new window where the door was. This project totally transforms this home and creates great access to the rear deck.

One of the most common problems with roofs is leaks due to improper or poorly installed flashing. Damage usually isn’t noticed and can take months before the damage is visible from the interior of this house. The dormer window on this house had very little flashing along the main roof slope and causes water to leak to the interior of the home.

Upon removing the shingles the roof decking near the leak was disintegrating due to water and rot. The insulation and drywall below the leak also suffered damage and was replaced. New flashing was installed as well as additional tar and caulk to completely seal out water.
