Frequently Asked Questions

Burch Contracting builds decks with pressure-treated lumber, hardwood, and composite materials such as Trex. Material choice depends on budget, maintenance preference, and how you plan to use the space.

Most custom decks take 3 to 5 weeks from permit approval to completion, depending on size, complexity, and weather. Scott confirms your exact timeline as part of your estimate.

Aluminum framing is rust-resistant and low-maintenance with a 30+ year lifespan. Wood framing allows custom columns and trim to match traditional homes. Both options provide bug-free outdoor living.

Yes. Deck conversions are often 50–70% less expensive than new porch construction when the existing structure can support the roof and screen system. Scott evaluates your deck during the site visit.

Yes. Burch Contracting builds both attached and detached garages including two-car, three-car, and workshop configurations with options for electrical, insulation, and custom door placements.

Yes. Architectural matching — roofline, siding, windows, and trim — is a standard part of every room addition we build so the new space looks original to the home.

Yes. Kitchen and bath renovations are core services including demolition, plumbing, tile, cabinetry, flooring, and finish work. Bath-to-shower conversions are one of our most requested remodel projects.

Costs vary based on the extent of storm or water damage and the scope of repairs needed. We offer a free consultation and ballpark range. A detailed written estimate with full documentation is available for a fee, fully credited back if you hire us.

Yes. Burch Contracting provides on-site damage assessments to support your insurance claim. Detailed documentation and a full written estimate are available for a fee, credited back if you hire us, then we complete the approved repair work.

We install TPO, EPDM, and PVC single-ply membranes, modified bitumen, standing seam and R-panel metal roofing, and silicone or acrylic restoration coatings. The right system depends on the building's deck type, slope, drainage, and how long the roof needs to perform before its next major repair.

A recover installs a new membrane over the existing roof and costs less, but building code allows only two roof systems on a building before a tear-off is required — if your roof already has one recover on it, or the existing substrate is wet or deteriorated, a full tear-off is the only code-compliant option.

Yes. We respond to active leaks and storm-related emergencies with temporary weatherproofing, followed by a permanent repair. Because we also handle the interior side of the building, ceiling, drywall, insulation, and flooring damaged by the leak gets repaired under the same contract instead of requiring a second contractor.

Yes, and it's core to how we work with property managers and building owners, not an add-on. Scheduled inspections catch membrane wear, flashing failures, and drainage issues before they become leaks, extending the roof's service life.

Yes. We document storm and hail damage, work directly with your insurance adjuster, and complete the approved repair or replacement — the same insurance restoration process we run for residential claims, applied to commercial roofing.

Yes. Burch Contracting builds residential accessibility modifications (roll-in showers, grab bars, ramps) and commercial ADA compliance upgrades (entrance ramps, restroom retrofits, door widening) to meet current ADA standards.

Costs vary widely based on scope — from a single bathroom grab bar installation to a full commercial restroom retrofit or entrance ramp. We provide a free consultation and ballpark range; a detailed written estimate is available for a fee, credited back if you hire us.
