Your home is most likely your biggest financial investment. To maintain its value, you should keep track of its condition and make repairs as needed. Exterior repairs are often expensive, but letting problems slide will only allow them to get worse and lead to even larger bills later. These are some of the most common signs that you may need to call a contractor to schedule home repairs.
Siding
Siding can protect your house’s interior from moisture and help to keep the living spaces at a comfortable temperature. Old and damaged siding can allow moisture to enter the walls and lead to mold that can affect your family’s health. Damaged siding is also inefficient and can make it hard to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. That can lead to high utility bills throughout the year.
If your siding is damaged, you may see stains, bubbling, mold, or pieces that are cracked or sagging. If you notice any of these signs of damage, contact a contractor as soon as possible to have the siding inspected and to find out if it needs to be replaced.
Windows
Damaged windows can be inefficient and can lead to drafts and high utility bills. They can also allow water to enter the house and lead to mold that can be harmful to your family’s health. Installing Vinyl replacement windows will help you eliminate these issues.
Gutters
Gutters are critical since they divert rainwater and melted snow away from a house to prevent damage to the roof, siding, and foundation. Gutters that are weighed down by debris may not be angled correctly, or they may even start to come loose from the house.
Gutters should be cleaned at least twice a year to remove leaves, pine needles, twigs, and other debris that could clog them and prevent water from draining. If you don’t want to clean your gutters yourself, hire a contractor to do it. Installing gutter guards can reduce the need for routine cleaning.
