Gutters
Seamless Aluminum Gutters
Aluminum gutters never rust, even if they become clogged, and effectively channel water away from the house. We extrude heavier aluminum to custom fit the gutters to the house on-site and connect with the downspouts. We fasten the gutter system using screws, not the conventional type of long nail that can pull away from the fascia over time. The extruded aluminum is preferred over sectional gutters because leaky seams are minimized. Clogs can be avoided using proper gutter protection.
Copper Gutters
Copper is typically reserved for classic restorations. We can put them on any homeowner’s house who likes the unique style of copper. It never rusts and never needs painting. The copper color is prized for the green patina that develops over time.
Steel Gutters
Steel gutters are typically used on commercial buildings. Oversized gutter systems and downspouts are used to handle the water coming off the large roof systems.
Gutter Protection
Gutter protection systems allow clean, clog-free rain gutters without the chore of gutter cleaning and can improve the value of your home. Homeowners can avoid ladders or hire someone to periodically clean the gutters by using these systems. Bedrock Contracting offers a variety of high-quality leaf guard and gutter guard options that best fit your needs, including screens, helmets, or the Owens Corning RapidFlow Gutter Drainage Protection System.
Residential Siding
If your siding has been impacted by storm damage, Bedrock Contracting can still install the best forms of siding. We can get your home restored fast and you pay no more than your insurance deductible after work is completed to your satisfaction.
Storm-Damaged Siding
High winds and hail can tear off siding pieces. Undetected siding damage can lead to even bigger problems once water becomes trapped behind it. Signs of siding failure includes the appearance of mold, caulking failures, separating seams, warping boards that do not lay flat against the house, swelling, delaminating (outer coating spalling, scaling, or peeling), and/or moisture on the inside of the house.
Let the professional storm damage experts at Bedrock Contracting inspect your home at no charge. If there is damage, we’ll work with your insurance company to help restore your home without any payment until the work is done. We’ll work with you to weigh the siding considerations in selecting siding options available from Bedrock Contracting.
Siding Considerations
- Energy Efficiency – Ask for the R-Value rating for energy savings as you review various types of insulation options beneath the cladding.
- Water Resistance – The lifespan of siding is closely tied to its water resistance.
- Durability – Ability to withstand typical weather and temperature fluctuations for your area.
- Labor – Ask about the labor needed to install siding. Often the easier the installation the less it will cost to restore. That said, siding upgrades can lead to less painting over the years, better water and sun resilience, sustained homes value and money-saving energy efficiency.
- Aesthetics – What look do you want to create while improving your home’s value?
- Adaptability – Your choice should meet the exterior needs without requiring adjustments that may add to the cost.

Windows
Storm related damage to windows is one of the most overlooked areas by adjusters. In many cases, the average adjuster is not trained to identify consistent problems other than broken glass.
Regarding your new replacement windows and your home, you deserve a reliable, trustworthy company, locally rooted and supportive of its local community that offers superior quality, fair pricing, and an unsurpassed warranty.
Windows do a lot to help establish a home’s visual character, let in light and air, and frame views from inside. But if not installed correctly, they can become unwelcome avenues for water. “Rot around windows, even in relatively new houses, is one of the biggest problems.
Our professional installers will make sure to seal the perimeter of the opening with sticky sheets of self-adhering waterproof membrane, strips of metal flashing, and judicious amounts of caulk. Any rain that gets by one of these layers will be stopped by another.
There are many options to choose from, please contact us for more information.
