Now that winter is nearing its’ end and spring is on the horizon, it is time to get outside and examine your house.(Contractors – encourage your homeowners to do this!!)
The spring sunshine will highlight areas that have taken abuse over the wet winter months. Fan of HGTV? They’re #1 home maintenance tip for spring is to get out and take a look at your gutters!
HGTV’s first suggestion is to look for loose or leaky gutters. If your gutters are hanging off your house or if they are getting old, it might be time for a total replacement. You definitely want to avoid improper drainage, which could lead to water leaking into your basement or crawlspace.
HGTV’s second suggestion is to check for debris clogging your gutter system. This would be a good time to call on us for a professional gutter cleaning, or perhaps even to consider a leaf protection product.
As always, we would be happy to come out and offer suggestions for your home as well as give you a free estimate.
