Decks
When considering a deck, there are a lot of different products available today, to enhance the looks and usability of your outdoor living space. Option 1 is a traditional treated wood deck. Treated lumber will allow your deck to last, but does require regular maintenance. Staining or painting the deck is required, especially in heavy traffic areas. Option 2 is a vinyl or composite deck. When these materials are used, you can make your space virtually maintenance free. It also allows you different color choices. We offer composite decking in 5 colors and vinyl railing systems in a variety of colors and styles to compliment your deck space.
Porches
Traditional porches built on older homes were usually not built on permanent foundations, which allows the porch in time to settle and rot. We are experienced in repairing these situations in most cases. However; we can also rebuild your porch if it is too far gone. We offer traditional treated lumber options as well as maintenance free vinyl products.
Roofing
The Value: Let’s face it; every house will need a roof eventually. And if installed properly, with the right products, your roof can add protection, elegance, and value to one of your biggest investments, your home.
The Choice: American offers a variety of asphalt shingles and steel roofing systems for residential applications. Our asphalt shingles range from 30 yr to lifetime architectural or choose one of our steel roofing systems. Because the roof is such a large portion of your home, the large color palette available will help you choose the right color to accent your home.
Installation: American’s standard installation differs from other competitors. We do more than the minimum required by the manufacturers and NYS code to insure your roof will last.
