1. Roofing
A roof (including
flashing, eaves troughs, downspouts and chimney) is also a common trouble spot. A roof that is left to leak can cause rot and
damage to the roof structure itself and to the ceiling below. Depending on its condition and the kind of roofing material,
this is a repair that you should look at having done right away.
2. Insulation
Older houses
can lack adequate insulation by today's standards. Upgrading the insulation can be hard to do without the proper skills and
because of the amount of time it takes. We get into all of the nooks and cavities in walls, ceilings, floor sills, etc. If
you need an insulation upgrade, let us know and we will give you a FREE estimate!
3. Door/Window repairs
Many different things can happen to doors and windows with regular use and irregular weather or events.
Before you hang your own windows or doors, give us a call for a free estimate. You may be surprised as to how close we can
keep you on or under your budget for these projects. On larger projects we even have financing available.

| Here's a simple
bi-annual "Top to Bottom" checklist to keep your home in shape year-round. |
1. Roof: Check roof and around vents, skylights
and chimneys for leaks. Repair as necessary.
2. Attic: (Fall) Close vents to conserve heat. (Spring) Open vents to
ensure proper ventilation.
3. Gutters: Clean gutters and drain pipes so leaves won't clog them and be sure they
drain away from the house. (Fall: In cold-climate areas) Drain outside faucets.
4. Fireplace: Clean fireplace of
ashes. (Fall) Check chimney for loose or missing mortar. Have chimney professionally cleaned. Make sure damper closes
tightly. (Spring) Leave damper open for improved ventilation if the home is not air-conditioned.
5. Filters: Remember
to clean or replace filters once a month, or as needed. Check and clean dryer vent, air conditioner, stove hood and room
fans. Keep heating and cooling vents clean and free from furniture and draperies.
6. Safety Equipment: Ensure that
all smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors and fire extinguishers are in good working order. Replace batteries in
appropriate devices as needed, or at least twice each year.
7. Air Conditioner: (Fall: In cold-climate areas) Remove
window air-conditioners, or put weatherproof covers on them.
8. Refrigerator: Make sure your refrigerator door seals
are airtight. Test them by closing the door over a dollar bill. If you can pull the bill out easily, the latch may need to be
adjusted or the seal may need to be replaced. In addition, if you have a coil-back refrigerator, vacuum the coils at least
twice each year. Your refrigerator will run more efficiently with clean coils. Also, stock up! A full refrigerator uses less
energy than an empty one.
9. Faucets: Check for leaky faucets in kitchen and bathroom(s). Replace washers as
necessary.
10. Windows and Doors: Seal drafty doors and windows. If you added up all of the small cracks where
heating and cooling escapes from a home, it would be the same as having a window open. Replace seals as needed.
11.
Storm Windows and Screens: (Fall) Take down screens (if removable type) and replace with storm windows. (Spring) Remove,
clean, and store storm windows (if removable). Check and patch all door and window screens. Put screens up (if removable
type).
12. Siding and Paint: Look for cracks and holes in house siding or paint. Replace caulk if necessary. A carpet
knife can work well for cutting away old caulking from house siding. Slice down alongside it from both directions with the
hook-like blade, then use the knife to lift out the old caulk bead intact.
13. Basement: Check basement walls and
floor for dampness. Be sure to clean dehumidifier regularly, if you have one.
14. Heating System: (Fall) Have heating
system serviced. Change filters.
15. Hot Water Heater: (Fall) Drain hot water heater. Remove sediment from the bottom
of the tank. |
