Questions & answers
Who is Southwest Home Innovations?
“A locally owned home improvement company in Durango, Colorado, installing gutter systems, concrete coatings, and custom garage cabinets across the Four Corners. Cam and Katie were born and raised here, and the crew is local too.”
Is Southwest Home Innovations a local company?
“Yes. Cam and Katie were born and raised in Durango, our crews live here, and we answer our own phone. When you call, you get a neighbor, not a call center.”
Are you licensed and insured?
“Yes. Southwest Home Innovations is fully licensed and insured, and every installer on your property is part of our local crew, not a passing subcontractor.”
Is the estimate really free?
“Yes. The visit, the measurements, and the written quote cost you nothing. You also get free expert education: we walk your home with you, show you what is actually going on, what each option does, what it costs, and what happens if you do nothing. Hire us or not, you leave the visit knowing more than when we arrived.”
What services does Southwest Home Innovations offer?
“Three product lines. Gutter systems (Elevated Seamless Gutter, Gutter Helmet, Helmet Heat, and S-5! ColorGard Snow Fence), concrete coatings (Penntek Pure Polyurea for garage floors, patios, porches, pool decks, driveways, and commercial floors), and custom powder coated garage cabinets. Our local crew works from offices in Durango and Bayfield, Colorado.”
Who installs gutters in Durango, CO?
“Southwest Home Innovations does, from offices in Durango and Bayfield. Our own crew installs Elevated Seamless Gutter, Gutter Helmet, Helmet Heat, and S-5! ColorGard in Durango, Bayfield, Pagosa Springs, Hesperus, Cortez, Mancos, Farmington, and Aztec.”
How do I stop ice dams on my roof?
“Ice dams form when heat melts roof snow that refreezes at the cold eave. Helmet Heat, heated gutter protection with a self-regulating heat cable built into the Gutter Helmet, keeps melt moving to the downspout. We also look at the causes: north- and west-facing roofs, heat escaping from the home, and heat sources on the roof.”
What are concrete coatings?
“Concrete coatings are protective finishes applied to a prepared slab. Instead of a thin paint that sits on the surface, a concrete coating system bonds to the concrete, resists stains and wear, and gives you a finished floor that is easy to clean.”
How long do Penntek polyurea coatings last compared to epoxy?
“Penntek Pure Polyurea is four times stronger than epoxy and holds up better to UV exposure, temperature fluctuations, and chemical exposure.”
What does the Lifetime Residential Warranty cover?
“The warranty covers major coating failures, such as chipping and delamination, and is backed by both Southwest Home Innovations and Penntek. Commercial installations carry a five-year warranty.”
Do I need to clear everything out of my garage before installation?
“Yes. Your garage floor needs to be completely clear before installation begins so our crew can properly prepare and coat the surface. During your estimate, we will walk you through what needs to be moved and how to prepare your space in advance.”
Is polyurea better than epoxy for a garage floor?
“In our climate, yes. In a polyurea vs epoxy garage floor comparison, polyurea wins on flexibility, UV stability, and chemical resistance.”
What makes powder-coated cabinets a better choice for garage storage?
“Powder coating creates a harder finish than paint or laminate. Strux powder coats every component, inside and out, including the panels, shelves, edges, and backs, so there are no glued-on edges to fail the way they do on melamine cabinets.”
Can I choose the configuration and finish for my custom garage cabinets?
“Yes! The system is built to order, so the configuration, sizing, and finish are based on your specific garage and how you use it.”
Do the cabinets need to be attached to the floor?
“No. The system hangs from a wall-mounted steel rail and uses adjustable leveling legs, so it stays level and aligned without being fastened to your floor. Because the load is carried by the rail and legs, the cabinets stay clear of pooled snowmelt and moisture, and the floor is far easier to maintain.”
Are custom garage cabinets worth it compared to store-bought options?
“Usually, yes. A custom system is planned around the real perimeter of your garage, including vehicles, utility panels, water heaters, freezers, door tracks, and windows.”
Why install a comprehensive gutter solution instead of one product?
“Because each part depends on the others to survive our weather. Heat with nowhere to send water just moves the ice dam downstream. A cover alone cannot stop an ice dam. A fence only delays snow that still has to melt and leave. A comprehensive solution fixes the whole roofline once, instead of patching one problem at a time.”
Why can't a gutter stand alone in Southwest Colorado?
“Freeze and thaw, melting snow, ice dams, clogs, embers, and sliding snow all attack your roofline. One product handles one of them. We design the combination that handles all of them together.”
What is the best gutter system for Durango?
“The one designed for your roofline. We start with Elevated Seamless Gutter, then add Gutter Helmet, Helmet Heat, and S-5! ColorGard only where your home needs them. The right combination, nothing extra.”
Can gutters add to wildfire risk?
“They can. Pine needles that collect in a gutter are dry fuel right where embers land. A solid cover keeps the gutter clear, so there is nothing to ignite at the roofline.”
