Custom Remodels

The best way to restore value in a home is to remodel periodically. Value in a home can be considered in three categories: usefulness, marketability, and equity. That being said, the most important value to restore in a home is its usefulness to its owner. Questions owners should ask in a remodel are: Does my home’s features effectively satisfy my daily needs? Does my home create the atmosphere I want? Are there ways to ease the organization of my home? What makes this home, my home?

MQC seeks to support homeowners throughout the entire process of artisan remodeling. We offer top craftsmanship and oversight to ensure that you have a well executed custom remodel. Our goal is to advise and communicate all the interdependent details of the construction project from financial to practical so that upon completion of the work the value of your space is restored.

Exterior Custom Remodel

Everyone wants their home to look nice. Of course. But everyone knows that it’s not the most important thing about building a quality home. We’ve always heard people brag that their house has “good bones” or a “rock solid foundation,” but alongside these fundamental qualities is the exterior of your home: roof, siding, brick, stucco, windows, doors, sheathing, insulation, flashing, etc.

Water brings life to everything, it’s vital to our existence, but while water brings life, it also brings great destruction. The water seal on your home is fundamental to the life of your home. Those good bones and rock solid foundation won’t even last given time and water penetration. MQC starts with this fundamental protection in an exterior renovation design. We only use time-proven products that will ensure your home is protected: Sheathing such as (Huber’s Zip System); roofing such as asphalt shingle, metal, slate, stone, or composite (Enviroshake); sidings such as fiber cement (James Hardie), pvc siding or cellular composite siding (Royal Building Products); etc.

The next consideration in an exterior renovation design is an air seal. Value in a home can be considered in three categories: usefulness, marketability, and equity. Without a good air seal on your home these three value categories can be greatly diminished. Consider the usefulness impact. If your home does not have the shear strength of proper sheathing your home could be vulnerable to inclement weather. Without proper insulation you may have troubles heating or cooling parts or all of your home effectively and lose your comfort. Consider the marketability impact. More and more homebuyers are considering the environmental impact of homes. Not to mention the datedness of an unrenovated exterior, single pane windows and drafty doors don’t sell houses, nor do high utility bills. Consider the equity impact. If your home is not properly air sealed and insulated then your equity will go to utility companies rather than to your pocket.

In order to protect your investment, MQC offers solutions to these problems and ensures a beautiful exterior appearance on every job. However, our goal isn’t just to resolve problems, our goal is to increase your home’s usefulness to you! We provide you with windows and doors, new siding, new decks, patios, and outdoor kitchens. We work with exotic woods (Ipe, Mahogony, Garappa, etc), composite or pvc decking (Timbertech and Azek), aluminum, steel, stone etc. Are you looking for a room addition, a sunroom, screened in porch (Screeneze, Ezebreeze), or just a simple pergola? MQC has got you covered. Simplify your exterior renovation: 1) get your free consultation 2) start the design/pre-construction process 3) then, build.

Siding Installation

MQC Inc. ensures your project is of the highest quality at an affordable price. Let us install your siding and we’ll be sure to plan the project, with you, from start to finish. Every project is unique and every client has different goals. We want to ensure that your siding project accomplishes your goals and meets the specific needs of your property. Generally, there are two big considerations when you plan to clad (install siding) or re-clad a home or a business. Those two considerations are water seal and air seal. MQC goes over and above the standards of other companies to ensure that your project is fully weather protected and, if we can, make your home more efficient; at a competitive price to boot. This allows you to spend less of your money on expendable costs over time and allows you to utilize your money in your desired investments.

There are four components that make the difference between homes that last centuries versus decades: foundation, framing, roofing, and cladding. When we clad your home with siding we intend to provide the quality seen in homes that have survived history. Every single decision in the install process is made to preserve and beautify your home. MQC only sells and installs products that have been time-proven in the industry. We install fiber cement, wood siding (sustainably forested: accoya, cedar, exotic woods, etc.), and Cellular siding. All these products prove as excellent water barriers and provide that necessary water seal on your project.

Sustainability is one of our biggest priorities as a company. A proper installation (going the extra mile in unseen but important areas) means that we can help reduce the impact of your home in future years on the environment and the local ecosystem. If you’re re-siding your home, this is a golden opportunity to discuss options for increasing the efficiency of your home. Air seal is the very foundation of an efficient home. If you’d like to discuss increasing your home’s efficiency, ask us about ways we can increase your air seal and R-value (resistance to heat flow) of your home while we re-side your house.

Roofing Services

Has your roof met its expiration date? Are you looking for a new look? Something more efficient? Do you have plans to add solar PV arrays? Do you want something that will last longer than the roofing product you have now? MQC goes over and above the standards of other companies to ensure that your project is fully weather protected. This allows you to spend less of your money on expendable repair costs over time and allows you to utilize your money in other desired investments. We install asphalt shingles, metal roofing (standing seam and exposed fastener), composite roofing, flat roofing, roof decks, and more.

There are four components that make the difference between homes that last centuries versus decades: foundation, framing, roofing, and cladding. When we roof your home with a product we intend to provide both the quality seen in homes that have survived history and provide new products and installation techniques that resolve common problems discovered in the industry over time. Let us discuss all your options and protect your greatest investment with the first line of defense: your roof. We’ll roof new construction, residential, commercial, tear off and reroof; just give us a call.

Sustainability is one of our biggest priorities as a company. A proper installation (going the extra mile in unseen but important areas) means that we can help reduce the impact of your home in future years on the environment and the local ecosystem. If your job requires a tear off, we make sure that all recyclable materials are taken to be recycled.
If your roofing contractor isn’t discussing with you preventions concerning condensation and ventilation for your roof on a home with modern climate control in our high humidity mountain environment, then your contractor probably isn’t taking a full-picture of protection mindset in your roofing installation. MQC is a licensed general contractor that can handle your projects with the whole scope of your property’s preservation in mind.

Concrete Services

Did you know a simple addition of concrete on your project can make your property perform better? Everyone thinks about how nice it would be to have a new driveway apron, a new patio, a decorative garden wall, but it’s absolutely vital that the contractor performing your concrete work follow design specifications that protect your home from water and earth movement. MQC takes into account runoff and structural accommodations as we tackle your concrete project. We also, on occasion, partner with engineers to be sure that your project is safe and performs well. At the end of your project, we leave you with those important aesthetic details to elevate your property and provide you with the comfort and experience you are seeking.

Do you have a hardscape plan? Whether it’s pathways, driveways, garden features, a patio, we’ve got you covered, and we can help you get it planned. It’s possible you’re considering stamped concrete as a structural alternative to pavers. No problem. We’ve got patterns for you to choose from. If it’s a driveway you’re thinking about, consider concrete before asphalt. Asphalt has gone up in cost, and concrete is the superior solution.

We’re a one-stop shop for your exterior projects, so we’ll be sure to account for your earthwork and demolition, as well. Request your free consultation ASAP.
