Pro Home’s Top 10 Do’s And Don’ts For Exterior Home Maintenance
1. DO Be Proactive About Your Home’s Exterior Maintenance. Don’t wait still something goes wrong. Inspect your house regularly to catch minor problems before they become major ones! Fixing small cracks, nail pops, and signs of pest infestation can save substantial of time and energy.
2. DO Prioritize Repairs. When you know your home needs a repair, consider financing the repair rather than delaying it for financial reasons. Putting off repairs on roofing and siding can lead to greater damage and higher repair costs. Delaying window and door replacements can amount to measurable increases in your energy bills.
3. DO Check Your Roof and Siding for Storm Damage. After a vicious storm, walk around your home and look for shingles on the ground, peeling siding, broken windows, missing shingles, and anything else that might indicate the storm has damaged your exterior.
4. DO Clean Your Siding. Dirt, mildew, and algae buildup in your environment can mar the appearance of your siding. Use the manufacturer’s recommend cleaning products to power wash your siding annually to keep it looking beautiful.
5. DO Watch for Discoloration on Your Roof. Like siding, mildew and algae can grow on your roof, causing an unsightly streaked appearance. Shady roofs that see little sun are the most susceptible. To keep your roof healthy, have problem areas professionally treated by an expert.
6. DO Check Your Windows and Doors for Drafts. Drafty windows and doors not only make your family and guests uncomfortable and siphon heat in the winter and cold in the summer from your home. If you can feel drafts, know that repairing or replacing your windows or doors will make a difference in your energy bills.
7. DON’T Let Landscaping Crowd Your Home. Landscaping that is too close to your exterior can cause the growth of mold and mildew and inspire wildlife to build unwanted nests or attempt access to your home through your roofing and siding. A manicured landscape not only protects your home but it makes it look better!
8. DO Clean Out Your Gutters. Leaves, debris, and animal nests can clog your gutters and threaten drainage into your basement. Clogged gutters can also rot and damage your roof fascia and can attract nesting insects. Gutter guards from Pro-Home Services help you say goodbye to gutter cleaning.
9. DON’T Ignore Your Window’s Drainage System. If your windows have a drainage system, keep your window’s weep holes clear. Wipe your window sills sand tracks with a damp cloth to clean them of dirt, debris, excess moisture, and insects.
