About the Project

Multi-Service Project in Philadelphia, PA

For this project in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, we completed a variety of exterior improvements and garage door repairs designed to enhance the home’s appearance, functionality, and long-term reliability. From custom aluminum capping on a hard-to-access third-story area to garage door upgrades and minor exterior repairs, this project addressed several important maintenance items throughout the property.

Custom Aluminum Capping Installation

One of the main components of the project involved replacing damaged trim with new custom-bent aluminum capping on the third floor.

The work included:

  • Removal and replacement of two pieces of existing aluminum capping
  • Fabrication of new dark brown aluminum trim using a brake for a precise fit
  • Installation using threaded hardware for secure attachment
  • Completion of the work in a challenging, hard-to-access location

The new aluminum capping provides improved weather resistance while giving the exterior a clean and finished appearance.

Lower Roof Vent Repair

To address an exposed vent area, we installed a customer-supplied three-tab shingle over the lower-level vent.

This repair helps:

  • Improve protection around the vent opening
  • Blend the repair with the existing roof
  • Reduce the risk of moisture intrusion

Removal of Unused Exterior Fixtures

As part of the cleanup and exterior improvements, we removed:

  • Two disconnected masonry-mounted exterior lights
  • One abandoned low-voltage hanging wire

Removing unused components helps improve both safety and the overall appearance of the home.

LiftMaster Garage Door Opener Installation

The existing Genie trolley opener was replaced with a new LiftMaster 2220L chain-drive opener.

The installation included:

  • Complete replacement of the existing opener and components
  • New hardware and setup
  • Professional adjustment and testing to ensure smooth operation

The LiftMaster system provides dependable performance and modern convenience for everyday use.

Spring and Support Upgrades

To further improve the garage door system, we installed:

  • One pair of 110-pound extension springs
  • A steel angle reinforcement on the top section of the garage door for additional support

These upgrades help improve door balance, strengthen the top panel, and promote safe operation.
