Maintaining Your Home

Spring is coming & this weekend is a good time to access the effects this winter has had on your house.

Extreme temps, think about upgrading your windows & doors. Damage to roof & siding must be addressed before water infiltration creates even bigger problems & more costly repairs.

General maintenance can save you big money in the future. Things like exterior caulking, gutter cleaning & gutter guards, fixing mortar joints in the brick & stone work, & grading the soil around the foundation so water runs away for the house.

Every day is a good day to plan a new kitchen!
