Since 1978, his business, U. Rodgers Home Improvement LLC, has been beautifying homes there and in all surrounding Oakland County communities. U. Rodgers, the company founder, also grew up in Huntington Woods and met his wife, Nancy, there. Together, they raised their three children, Julie, Bobby, and Jamie in the 'Woods." Rodgers' ties to the area date back to the early 1900's when his great-uncle, I.C. Freud, owned and developed the land that is now known as Huntington Woods. Rodgers takes great pride in preserving the distinctive charm that his great-uncle initially set forth. 'e love to transform your home into a showplace," says Rodgers. "Our goal is to enhance the home's appeal while maintaining the integrity and charm of our Huntington Woods community as well as our neighbors in Pleasant Ridge, Royal Oak, Birmingham, Beverly Bobby Rodgers/Associate Builder Hills, Franklin, Bloomfield, and Farmington Hills." In addition to roofing and siding, Rodgers has added detailed touches to the exteriors of count- less homes. Revered as the "curb appeal" specialist, the company's expertise is sought by many homeowners who want to improve upon their home's original architectural design. "We create custom front porches, unique and traditional decks, fluted columns, leaded glass entry doors, custom stone work, dimensional shingles and many other architectural enhance- ments to area homes," says associate builder (and son) Bobby Rodgers. The Rodgers team believes that traditional elements of a home never go out of style. Instead, they add a distinctive charm that reflects the integrity of the home and the homeowner. If your home is in need of an exterior makeover, let U. Rodgers customize a look that you'll enjoy for years to come. Join the very long list of satisfied L.J. Rodgers customers.
