Interior

• Kitchen Remodeling
  All though the interior of the house does not have to deal with the extremes of the exterior weather, some rooms do get some heavy-duty use. The kitchen and bathrooms do get a workout with cooking and showering, and need to be maintained more often.

Exterior

• Window Installation/Replacement
  Caulking around windows and doors not only saves money on energy costs, but may also stop water from penetrating into the walls causing wood to rot and paint to peel.
• Gutters
  Clean gutters and leaders at least twice a year (the beginning of summer and after the last leaves fall in autumn). Ice damming clogs gutters and doesn’t allow the rain water to flow rapidly off the roof. In cold temperatures, snow and ice will form, blocking the flow of water. The water will back-up the roof and flow under the shingles and into the house, causing damage to the ceiling walls, exterior trim boards and siding. Paint peeling is a sign that the walls inside have excessive moisture and needs immediate attention.
• Siding
  Keep plants, leaves and dirt off the wood siding or woodwork. Decaying leaves and plants become mulch and holds in water, this build up next to wood keeps it wet and over time causes rotting. Wood needs to be dry to keep from rotting. Wet rotting wood also creates great nesting for termites and carpenter ants.

General

• Painting
  A regularly scheduled maintained of the exterior painting saves money in the long term. Proper washing, caulking, glazing & painting to protect the exterior surfaces from the heat, cold, rain, snow, ice and sun will allow them to last longer without stripping or replacement, which is generally going to be much more expensive. The exterior of the house should be reviewed at least every 5 years.

• Insulation
  Calk all windows and exterior doors. Repair cracks in the foundation from both the outside as well as the inside. Install insulation around the exterior walls. Paint basement exterior walls with foundation waterproofing or basement sealant products. Insulate the cold water pipes so they don’t sweat.
• Caulking
  Caulking everywhere may not be a good idea, caulking the siding to tight traps in moisture, which can cause paint to peel and can even cause the siding to buckle. Most siding is meant to shed the house from the weather, not to insulate. Siding needs to ventilate any build up of moisture.

Pressure Washing

• Residential Pressure Washing
  The cedar shingles on this house were moldy and were home to many bugs and insects, which made for a feast for woodpeckers. The woodpeckers made many holes in the shingles. Replacing the damaged shingles and power washing this house created the proper foundation for the application of sealant.
