Roof Inspection

Roof inspection is essential to protect your home after the harsh winter months. Because snow, ice, and changing temperatures can cause damage, it’s important to act quickly. For example, loose shingles, leaks, or weakened flashing may go unnoticed but, if left unchecked, can lead to costly repairs. Therefore, inspecting the roof in spring helps homeowners catch small issues early. As a result, they can prevent water damage and, meanwhile, extend the life of their roofing materials.

Chimney Inspection

Chimney inspection is important for keeping your home safe and working well. Because winter weather can cause cracks or damage, it’s smart to check it early. Also, removing soot, creosote, or debris helps air flow better. So, a seasonal check keeps your home safer, helps your chimney last longer, and, most of all, gives you peace of mind.

Gutters & Downspouts

Inspect gutter and downspouts for damage and debris to prevent excess water from building up and creating expensive roof and fascia repairs.

Tree & Shrub Trimming

Remove foliage touching your home. Wind can cause branches to damage siding or gutters and a clear barrier lessens the odds of insect infestation.

Window Sealing

As part of your spring maintenance routine, make sure to replace the caulk around windows and doors. Due to extreme temperatures, cracks can form and allow air and water to leak into your home.

Decks

Regularly check your wood deck, railings, window sills, and trim for signs of rot. Over time, exposure to water can cause the boards to become soft or splintered, indicating the need for replacement.

Deck Cleaning

Power wash deck or patio to clean and prevent mold and mildew growth. Decks need a coat of deck stain/sealant every other year.

Window Screens

To prevent pests from entering your home, inspect and clean your window screens regularly. Check for cuts, rips, or bent frames that can make it easy for insects to get inside.

Water Leaks

Find and fix leaks in your crawl space or basement by looking for water accumulation or moisture after rain.

Water Supplies

To prevent laundry room flooding, it’s important to regularly examine the water supply hoses of your washing machine. Because these hoses can easily crack over time, they may start to leak without warning. Therefore, by checking them often, you can catch problems early. As a result, you avoid potential water damage and, meanwhile, keep your laundry room safe and dry.

Garage Storage Units

To make more space in your garage, think about adding extra storage. This way, you can keep sports gear, garden tools, and yard stuff in order. As a result, your garage stays clean, and everything is easier to find.

Smoke Detectors

Replace batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors twice each year.
