Expanding the living space of your existing home by adding on new space is especially attractive to growing families with good neighbors, friends and schools.

Popular room additions are new master bedroom suites, additional bedrooms, additional bathrooms, expanding kit-chens, family rooms and family spaces and private spaces for aging parents.

Other popular room additions include increasing floor space by adding a second story room to your existing home. This can increase the value, functionality, and comfort of your home, without robbing you of lawn or garden footage.

Since 1978, Brothers Construction Company, an award winning general contractor, has specialized in room additions, renovations and other remodeling projects. A well-planned room addition can make a dramatic difference, both in the livability of your home right now and in its resale value when it comes time to sell.

Of course, remodeling is not the only reason area homeowners have come to rely on Brothers Construction Company. Brothers is also expert in roofing systems, gutters, downspouts, replacement windows, and vinyl, aluminum, cedar and hearty plank siding.

Have you looked at your roof lately? It takes a beating everyday from sun, wind and rain. Your shingles become brittle and crack with age and have a tendency to blow off and fail at an alarming rate with age. This exposes the sub-structure (or roof decking) to moisture which slowly, but surely, deteriorates and rots the wood beneath which, literally, “keeps you out of the rain.”

Further, the metal flashings around chimney areas and at adjoining exterior walls (or rooflines), the penetration collars (around plumbing and heat stacks) and all other vents become worn and prone to water infiltration.
Next time you’re outside take a close look at your roof (most people don’t pay attention to it until there’s a problem). How does it look? Is it rough and weathered? Are the shingles “curling” or cracking? Is one section very distinguishable from all other areas? Finally, are you proud of the way your roof helps “show” your home, or are you embarrassed by its appearance?

If your roof needs help, call Brothers.

If you like where you live, consider a remodeling project to add space to your existing home.

What about the exterior of your house? Siding is the homeowner's all-weather friend. You can cross "exterior painting" off your list of household chores and enjoy low maintenance costs with its installation. "Siding is a great investment to increase the value of your home," says Charlie, "as well as improving both appearance and maintenance costs." And there is a lifetime guarantee on siding materials transferable to a new owner should you sell your house.

"When I come to make the no-obligation estimate, I will discuss all your options," notes Charlie. When his experienced crews finish their expert installations, you will join the ranks of pleased Brothers customers.

The firm has worked with many of the leading builders in NOVA to install siding on single family homes, townhouses and condos including Van Metre (at Sequoia Estates), Coscan (at Rest Oak Manor, Penn Crossing, West Oak Manor and Kings Council), Curtis F. Peterson (at Victoria Crossing), Chadwick Builder (at Omisol Estates and Kelly Knolls), Rocky Gorge (at McNair Farms and Ridgewood Towns), Richmarr (at Ashburn Village), Pulte (at Lake Ridge Point townhouses and Ashgrove) and D.R. Horton (at Tall Oaks and Fox Creek).

"Because of our wide variety of experience we have the capability of making any adjustment on your installation," says Charlie. "We will make sure everything is right for your home, your lifestyle and your budget."

Siding can be installed over any surface, but the materials used and the experience of the company that does the work can mean the difference in the amount of savings for the customer. In addition to improving the comfort and resale value of your home, the installation of siding or replacing older windows can help the budget conscious homeowner. Cooling and heating loss from windows and doors is responsible for 65 percent of the energy waste in the home. Environmental studies show that fuel costs can be reduced just by installing energy-efficient windows.

"We are experienced in assisting you with improvements to your home," says Charlie. "You will be amazed at just how reasonable the costs are for new siding, a new roof, replacement windows or gutters and downspouts," Charlie added. "We hope you will call us for a free estimate."
