What is the best solution concerning water damage from roof to basement on a two story house?

Are you asking how to repair or solve the problem?  Always need to look at flashing gutters and downs and roof penetrations to locate the leak.

How can I quickly upgrade the exterior of my home/front yard?
Mar 26, 2017

Besides the painting suggested by Chad of Lonestar Painting which can truly makeover the appearance of a home, I suggest that the trees and shrubs be professionally trimmed and thinned out.  Application of weed control and fertilization of the lawn will provide a healthy and attractive canvas to your yard that can be supplemented with a dose of spring color annuals

A very quick and cost effective way to upgrade your homes exterior is a cleaning and color change. Pressure wash to clean it up and paint the shutters and front door.  They can remain the same color or pick a fresh new color.  You can also take any old fixtures that have faded over time and paint the metal with a fresh satin or gloss paint.  Same with metal railings or metal awnings. Possibly a one day job with big results.

How can I quickly upgrade the exterior of my home/front yard? I want to give the exterior of my home a springtime 'facelift' without completely relandscaping my yard/renovating my house. What kind of exterior upgrades do you suggest I make to achieve this, without breaking the bank?

I am looking for a gutter/downspout person to install a large "fish-mouth" drainage collection for a valley gutter.

Yes, you need to contact a roofing company to check it out.  Possibly need a rain diviter installed.  Possibly need a gutter installation company to swap out current gutters for larger commercial size gutters.

I recently discovered that the interior support for a slumpstone column that holds up a small roof overhang was missing or rotted. Is this a job for a mason?

Tear off cimney from roof, cover plywood hole, and install roofing to match

What are the most popular/valuable indoor or outdoor home fixtures/colors/materials for 2017?

As a basement finishing company we're seeing a lot of granite for wet bars, lighter colors. Bathrooms and tile are often favoring gray. Brushed nickel and steel are the most common hardware and fixtures. Clean,simple, easy to mix up with rustic or modern decor.

We're still seeing a lot of demand for granite and/or quartz countertops.  With the quartz, people are doing more subtle patterns and a lot of marble looks (white with light veining or similar).  Cabinets seem to be following a gray/neutral/white color palette, with lots of clean lines.  We're still seeing stainless steel and brushed nickel for appliances and hardware, however we saw quite a bit of matte brass and gold tones at KBIS this year.  That seems to be making a comeback, but I think that might still depend on your area.  I think oil-rubbed bronze is probably on its way out, unless you're doing a rustic look.  Hope that helps!

What are the most popular/valuable indoor or outdoor home fixtures/colors/materials for 2017? I'm planning on putting my house on the market in the spring, but before I update my home, I'd like to know what's trending right now, in terms of countertops (kitchen and bath), flooring, colors, light fixtures, etc. Basically, what are home buyers liking more and more? And is there anything I should avoid doing/adding?

I guess this would be called a remodel:  what is happening is the valley gutter is draining down the side of my house presently.  I would like a large "basin" type catch to divert the water away from the siding.
