Major Home Repair Projects

Roofing & SIDING project

The old shingles on this home had worn out so much the roof was leaking and the chimney had fallen down prior to our arrival.  The Mountain T.O.P. volunteers made the necessary repairs to the roof deck where the chimney once was.  After that, we installed a synthetic roofing underlayment followed by 1x4 purlins and corrugated metal covering the old roof.  We installed the new roof without removing the shingles first, since the damage to the roof deck was minor, and code requires no more than two roof coverings to be on a home at once.  By not removing the shingles, we were able to save time and focus our efforts on other necessary repairs on this home. 

termite damage repair

The homeowner noticed significant termite damage as she started to peel back the wallpaper to paint.  After calling Mountain T.O.P., we determined the framing behind the wood panel wall covering was rotten as well. The termites were first exterminated, then the Mountain T.O.P. volunteers deconstructed the rotten window header and studs on either side and replaced them. After the structural repairs were made, the wall was re-insulated and covered in sheetrock with any necessary window trim installed. 

flooring project

The roof on this home had been leaking for quite some time.  The homeowner’s church put a new roof on her home to stop the leak, but ran out of funds to address any of the structural damage caused by the water.  Mountain T.O.P. volunteers tore into this wall and the adjacent floors, and replace a significant portion of the framing supporting this home. After it was all said and done, we replaced the subfloor in four out of the five rooms in this home, the rim joist on two of the exterior walls, and covered the new floors with new vinyl plank flooring.  The homeowner has limited mobility so we also replaced the bathtub with a low-entry shower.  

roofing & Siding project

The old siding on this home was deteriorating and had reached the end of its life.  Mountain T.O.P. was removed all of the old masonite siding, and the old wood-framed windows and replace them with new energy-efficient vinyl windows.  The sheathing behind the old siding had a few rotten spots where the windows used to leak so the Mountain T.O.P. volunteers repaired those in no time.  After the structural repairs were made, we installed new house wrap and siding to help control airflow between the interior and exterior of the home. Thanks to Mountain T.O.P.'s volunteers and their incredible efforts, we put a new roof on this home during the time we were there, too!
