The winter season has finally ended, and this is the perfect time to check your home for possible damages. Before you contact your home improvement contractor, however, you should first have a plan. What do you need to check first? For what do you need to look out? Renovation Team shares what items should be on your spring maintenance list.
Windows
Checking the windows after winter can help you improve your home’s energy efficiency. Cracking or deterioration in the weatherstrip can cause unwanted breezes and drafts to enter the house. To fix this, you can either have energy-efficient windows installed or replace the seal on your existing windows.
Roofing
You will want to carry out an exterior inspection of the roof along with any other parts, such as the chimneys or the flashing. The roof may have been affected by the snow and cold. Keep in mind that it is best to observe from ground level as structural damage may have occurred. If you find any missing or curling shingles, be sure to call for an expert residential roofing services provider.
Gutters
For the gutters, be sure to clear out any debris to avoid clogging them. This will help ward against water damage to the walls of your house. Be sure to check for ice dams that could bend your gutters. Be sure to check the downspout as stains could appear. These stains are a red flag for water damage to your house.
Siding
For siding, check the color. It might fade after a cold season, and possible storm or water damage can cause it to peel. Get exterior siding installation done if you need to replace your existing siding or are looking for stronger alternatives. For example, we offer high-quality vinyl siding that is both durable and low-maintenance.
