Why do additions leak more often?
Joints where old and new roof sections meet rely on flashing and careful sealing, and they are where water tends to find a way in.
Home Improvement in Swansea, SC
Swansea is a small town in southern Lexington County with a rural character and many long-lived family homes. Houses here are often older, have been added onto over the years, and carry the marks of that history. Arco Group LLC serves Swansea with roofing, flooring, and painting.
Working on homes with additions and long histories calls for patience. We look at how each part of the house fits together before we recommend work, so repairs and updates make sense for the whole structure.
Older homes, additions, and porches
Houses that have been expanded over the years often have roofs of different ages and pitches where old and new sections meet. Those joints are a common place for leaks, and they deserve close attention whenever a roof is evaluated.
Porches are another feature we see often. They take weather from several sides, and their ceilings, posts, and floors can show wear well before the rest of the house. We include porch areas in our evaluation so nothing is overlooked.
Roofing in Swansea, SC
For Swansea roofs, we pay particular attention to the places where sections meet, where a porch roof joins the main house, and where valleys carry water. Flashing in those spots needs to be sound and well sealed.
If your roof has different sections of different ages, we can discuss repairing the weakest area or planning a full replacement, and we explain the tradeoffs so you can choose with confidence.
Flooring Installation in Swansea, SC
Older Swansea homes may have original wood floors, layers of vinyl, or worn carpet. Sometimes the existing floor can be kept and improved, and sometimes a fresh start with luxury vinyl plank or new hardwood is the better path.
We examine the subfloor and the transitions between additions, where floor heights often differ. Handling those differences carefully is what makes the finished floor look right and feel solid.
Interior & Exterior Painting in Swansea, SC
Painting older homes means careful preparation. We scrape loose paint, repair damaged siding and trim, caulk gaps, and prime bare areas so the finish coat adheres well. Porch ceilings, posts, and railings get the same attention as the main walls.
Inside, we paint walls, ceilings, trim, doors, and cabinets. If your house was built before 1978, we will discuss possible lead paint with you before disturbing older coatings.
