McKillop Contractors can do a range of jobs for your home or business. We can do repairs or can add additions or build new. If we can’t do something, we often team with other companies or we can recommend a company or person who specializes in that kind of work.

We do top quality home remodeling, home improvement and home construction as well as home building. This includes new construction and additions as well as working on historic homes. We also do commercial construction for a number of businesses.

Following are the areas in which we specialize:

Exteriors – Vinyl siding is the most popular. You may have a negative view of vinyl siding, but you should see the new products available. Until you get up very close, you would think it was cedar shake siding or a variety of other materials. We also do the cedar shingle siding as well as brick and other materials. We use Georgia-Pacific Vinyl Siding.

Roofing – We install new roofing and do replacement roofs. Most frequently we do asphalt shingle roofs, but we also regularly do other types such as slate, standing seam metal roofs, and wood cedar shake roofs. Each has its idiosyncracies, such as with slate roofs, if you nail it too tightly, the slates will crack in the hot sun because the can’t expand where they are nailed.

Gutters and Downspouts – There are two choices for gutters, aluminum and copper. Copper is more expensive but lasts longer.  For shapes you can have half round or K style which is similar to or sometimes called Ogee. A lot of problems used to be caused by seams in gutters, where debris would catch, or they would start leaking. Now, a spool of flat metal is fed into a shaping machine to get a seamless gutter, whatever length you need. Then you need to make sure you have the right size gutter for the size of the roof and proper spacing of brackets to support the gutter and an adequate number of downspouts to adequately handle the water.

Kitchens – Remodeling your kitchen can make a big difference in the value of your home but even more importantly, it can make a big difference in your enjoyment of it. We can install cabinets and setup hookups for the various appliances. Counters can be anything you choose, from granite to marble or other stone, Corian, linoleum, and recently concrete has been a popular surface. Woodwork can be natural or painted.

Decks, Screened Porches & Patios – Decks we have done in wood or Trex. Screened porches have all sorts of possibilities. Straight screening, or options where you can add storm window type panels for colder weather. Various types of flooring from wood to tile to stone. You can set up the crossbar part way up to be both a chair rail to reduce the chance of poking holes in the screens and make it wide so it also serves as a place to put drinks. For patios you can select from a variety of stone and pavers to get the look you want.

Bathrooms – This is another area that both raises the value of your home and greatly increases your enjoyment of it. Luxury bathrooms can be really enjoyable with whirlpool tubs, double sinks, and standing showers. There is a wide choice for bathroom flooring, cabinets, countertops, fixtures, etc. We can work with you to come up with a design whether it is modern or traditional and whether you have a large or a small space to work with.

Windows and Doors – If your windows are old, you can save a lot of money on your heating bill with the triple glazed windows available today and give your home a nice fresh look. If your windows are even older and fall in the historic category, we can repair them and make them like new. Frequently they are painted shut, and the counterweight cords are broken, but that is something we have dealt with many times. For doors, you may want to upgrade them for a more upscale look. Or, you may want new double doors where a set of windows are now. We can open up the wall and install the doors and then build a deck or patio outside to walk out onto.
