Stewart Building Group: NEED HELP?

"Not your typical contractor!"

Patios, retaining walls, hardscapes:

1) If a snow plow hits my wall, should I have it fixed immediately or wait until spring?

Temporary repairs can be made as soon as snow is removed; the biggest thing is to be sure nothing will topple. Final repairs should wait until the spring when all frost is out of the ground this will insure a wall being straight and sound.

Water Damage:

1) Can you repair a crack in the foundation in the middle of winter so I don't get damage in the spring?

Water is stronger then most people give it credit for. You can seal a crack in the winter, but if you don’t stop it at the source it will come in at the next weakest point. Biggest source is downspouts and landscape.

Interior:

1) Do the window plastic coverings that you blow dry to seal really work?

Yes it is an outstanding product to stop drafty windows.

Landscaping:

1) Should I take out all my dead annuals or just leave them and plan over them next year?

2) Should I cut back my oramental grasses before the winter?

Waterscaping:

1) How should I winterize my outdoor fish pond?

Ponds do need to be winterized, depending on the size is what it will entail and if you have fish.
