The Time We Saved A Home From Ruin During A Rainstorm

Proof: UWD Manchester Will Be There When Our Customers Need Us…Even During An Emergency No One Expects

Sometimes you need real, honest-to-goodness, rock-solid proof that the exterior remodeling contractor you want to hire to update your New Hampshire or Northern Mass home…will be there for you!

Hi, and welcome to the UWD Manchester blog. We’re just that kind of contractor and we’ve got so many stories we could use to prove that to you.

How about this one though, which involved a nice home in Weare, NH.

One July we experienced torrential rainfall… basically the entire month! When it rains this much, we expect calls because homes and their systems (gutters, roofing, windows, doors, siding, etc.) are REALLY put to the test. This is when issues come to the surface because moisture finds its way into places it shouldn’t. Suddenly, we get a frantic call from a homeowner complaining that it’s basically raining inside her home!

OH NO!

How could this happen?

Well, let’s explain it, in brief, using bullet points to save time:

  • It was a roofing issue that led to other issues.
  • In an area where there was an improper valley, water was collecting.
  • The previous contractors didn’t wrap the house correctly.
  • They also didn’t flash the windows properly.
  • Over time, the ‘leak’ got so bad that it created a hole and rotted its way from the roof to the basement!

That July just sealed the deal. As we got on the phone the rain was pouring in by the bucketload.

What Did We Do With A Situation Like This?

First of all, our company’s founder was on her property within 30 minutes! There was no time to fuss about. Within another 20 minutes, another of our team members arrived and together they taped it off and got a watertight seal installed along with a diverter to stop the water from coming in through the hole in the roof. Then we replaced all this cheap low-quality fiberboard with high-quality plywood and redid all the flashing so it was picture-perfect and strong! We also properly wrapped the woman’s home in special sheathing so it was protected and redid the siding. That’s how reliable we are for our customers across the New Hampshire and Northern Massachusetts area.

I had a very positive experience working with Universal recently. I had them replace all of my windows and after researching and quoting several other companies, decided on Universal. Bob and everyone there know what they are doing. The windows are quality and a vast improvement over the old leaky windows I had.  The installation was professional by experienced installers that worked fast and accurately. My place is  now warmer, quieter and more comfy. Highly recommend!

We had a great experience with Universal Windows.  The salesman was friendly and not pushy.  He patiently answered all of our questions.  We didn't feel we had to make a decision same day and sign papers.  When we decided what we wanted to do, all our payment options were made clear.  The windows arrived sooner than expected.  They sent a crew right away to install. The crew was very polite and did quality work.  They cleaned up after themselves as well.  Highly recommend.

Everything from 1st appt with Trevor to installation to follow up was professional and as promised. The installers finished on time and made sure no mess was left behind. Everyone was very helpful (and patient) when I had lots of questions. Would highly recommend Universal Windows Direct!
