Summer Reminders

Summer is a special time of the year, and it is also a season of opportunity to identify and address your property maintenance needs.

The exterior of your home or business is often exposed to a variety of extreme weather: Blistering sunlight, intense heat, pouring rain, and sweltering humidity. These weather events present formidable challenges to the exterior of your home.

Cracked or peeling paint and can prematurely rot or weaken materials, caulk failure and damaged flashing can lead to roof leaks and interior water damage. I can identify and address these issues before the failures lead to bigger, and often more expensive, repairs.

While fall weather seems like a long way off, now is the time to consider how best to prepare for what’s ahead. Your gutters work best when they are cleaned out and water flows freely. I also recommend installing quality gutter guards to keep your gutters clear of leaves and other debris. An overlooked element of your gutters and downspouts relates to sizing. It is important that your gutters and downspouts are adequately sized for your property’s roof. When gutters and downspouts overflow due to blockage or undersizing, the likelihood for water damage can increase.
