Tennessee weather is varied. Hot, humid summers, heavy rain, storms and cold snaps all test a house.

Heat and Humidity

Humidity drives moisture problems, from crawl spaces to bathrooms. Good ventilation, drainage and air sealing help keep moisture in check.

Attics need good insulation and ventilation to keep heat from building up.

Rain and Wind

Heavy rain shows weak spots in flashing, gutters and grading. Strong roof attachment and well-sealed openings help in storms.

Gutters sized for the roof and downspouts that drain away from the walls protect foundations.

Temperature Swings

Freeze-thaw cycles can crack unprotected concrete and stress joints. Using the right mixes and details keeps flatwork looking good.

Insulating and air sealing helps with both the hot and cold months.
