Four Step Program to get Homes Ready for Summer

After all, every
home is somebody's castle!
Step #1 - Check
roof for missing or damaged shingles. Cold weather, hot weather,
and wind can wreak havoc on your roof! Replace any missing or
torn shingles, also check for nails that may have backed out of the
decking. If your shingles are beginning to curl, crack, or burst
and haven't been replaced in a long time, it may be time to re-shingle
your home.
Step #2 - Check
the gutter and ridge vents. Check to make sure they are free
of trash, dirt, etc. and check system to make sure water is allowed
to drain properly away from your foundation.
Step #3 - Check
siding around the house, the wind may have loosened or blown pieces
of siding off your home. The pieces need to be replaced to prevent
further damage and to keep surrounding pieces from coming loose.
Step #4 - You
could possibly need the exterior of your home cleaned of mildew, fungus,
etc. to help preserve your home and keep it looking good. After
all, it is most people's biggest investment.
