Fall Home Repair and Maintenance Tips:

With fall approaching it means winter is just around the corner. This is the perfect time to catch up on some home repairs and maintenance before the cold weather hits. In this article we have listed the top 6 maintenance and repairs that should be done before winter.

Check your home’s exterior for places where heat can escape, or moisture can get in.

Checking and inspecting the exterior of your home for seams where sliding might meet your stucco or masonry, and around where pipes or your gas meter might enter the house and your windows/doors to ensure everything is sealed tight to prevent heat from escaping. You should also be looking for moisture build up and condensation as it can cause damage to your homes interior which might lead to a costly repair in the future.

Inspect your roof for deterioration or damage.

Looking at your roof to see if the shingles are peeling, curling, or any missing shingles is a great precaution. If you find any problems with your roof you should contact a professional roof repair or replacement company before the snow starts falling.

Is your exterior paint peeling?

A thin layer of paint can go a long way in protecting your house from outdoor elements. If you paint is peeling, a fresh pain job will protect your sliding as well as could prolong the life of your sliding. Not only does paint protect your sliding is can also improve the look of your house/ resale value. Andy Crown Construction offers interior and exterior painting services.

Inspect your windows and doors.

Windows and doors are the main culprit for heat escaping from your home. Checking the seal on the inside and the outside of your window and doors can help you diagnose this problem before winter comes. The seal could be worn or torn and need to be replace and resealed.

Are your mechanical systems working properly?

Having your furnace inspected and maintained by a heating and cooing contractor before the winter is a great idea. You should also take care of any plumbing maintenance and repairs.

Give your home a refreshing and cost-effective makeover.

With the changing of the season it’s a great time to give your home some small upgrades so you can enjoy your home over the holidays and throughout the winter season. Finishing up that basement renovation, repairing damaged walls, giving your home a new paint job, and de-cluttering can give your home the feel you’re looking for.
