Preparing the exterior of your home not only helps keep it in good condition, it also adds to the curb appeal. Check out our tips below for ways to keep your home safe and prepared for the season ahead.
Check Your Home’s Exterior
- Complete a visual inspection of the exterior of your home – look at your roof, gutters (how they drain), the foundation, patio/deck, driveways and around the door frames and windows. Also be sure to cover your outside faucets! Turn off the water supply and place a foam cover over them.
Schedule a Roof Cleaning
- Regular roof cleaning can help in preventing mold and mildew. Be sure to look for any cracks, leaks, etc that could possibly allow water to get inside of your home. Cleaning your roof is best left to professionals – reach out to us today and we can help!
Prepare Gutters and Downspouts
- Clogged gutters can cause a lot of problems: water damage, weakening your home foundation, basement flooding and ice dams. Maintenance by professionals can help ensure that your gutters stay clean and functioning.
Check Your Siding
- The siding is to help keep your home protected, insulated and warm. Making sure your siding is clean will help prevent mold and mildew buildup.
Seal Cement Driveways and Walkways
- Concrete can be expensive so you want to make sure you keep it protected. Look for any cracks that need to be filled. Applying a sealer will help in preventing any water to form and freeze.
Protect Your Deck and Patio
- Protecting your deck and patio also means your outdoor furniture. Be sure to cover or bring your furniture inside. Keeping your deck and patio clean and sealed will help in preventing the wood to rot or it needing to be replaced.
