- Permits. Mantua Township handles construction permits and inspections for Mantua. We prepare the drawings and applications, schedule inspections and keep the approved permit on site.
- Water nearby. Homes near Mantua Creek can see higher humidity, wet basements or mapped flood zones. We check the flood map and the house's moisture history, and we plan drainage, flashing and materials accordingly.
- Storms. Nor'easters and the remnants of tropical storms bring heavy wind and rain. We use high-wind shingle nailing patterns, sealed flashing and secure gutter hangers.
