As anyone who lives in Ohio can tell you, we experience some fairly unpredictable weather! From summer thunderstorms to winter blizzards, Ohio sees it all — and this means you need a home that can stand up to the elements. Here’s a closer look at how Capstone Custom Homes keeps your home protected year-round.

Roofing and Gutter Systems

For times of heavy rain, a dependable roofing and gutter system is a must. We use durable roofing materials like asphalt shingles and metal roofing, which are designed to withstand strong winds and keep water out of the home. We pair quality roofing materials with a dependable gutter system that can handle heavy rainfall and snowmelt to keep excess water away from your walls and foundation. 

Windows and Doors for All Seasons

Our Capstone Signature triple pane, double low-E with argon vinyl windows, as well as our weather-sealed insulated fiberglass doors, keep water and outside air out of the house, helping you maintain consistent indoor temperatures throughout the year. 

Drainage and Waterproofing Solutions

We make water damage prevention a top priority in every build. This includes taking steps to ensure proper site drainage and grading before we even put the foundation in. Our basements also include sump pumps and a GMX Ultrashield waterproofing system with a 30-year manufacturer’s warranty to protect your home against flooding, even during heavy storms.

Building a home that can manage Ohio’s climate for the long term starts with expert construction. Contact us today to learn more about the steps we can take to protect your custom home for years to come.
