Roofing Gutters
To view this post content please Like it on Facebook! When you are maintaining the exterior of your
home during the fall season, make sure to check
your gutters for leaf clogs or have someone come
and clean them for you. This way you will not have
roof damage or unforeseen leaks occurring during
the winter and save yourself the stress associated
with a problem that could have been prevented.
To save money on later projects, hold onto even your
used equipment which still serves a purpose. For
example, leftover drywall or putty may be useful
if you ever need to patch a hole. Even seemingly
“done” items like used paint rollers can find a second
purpose; their long handles and narrow dimensions
make them perfect for clearing gutters.
Remember when doing a massive home renova-
tion that the inside is not the only area that needs
attention. Sure the inside of the home is a big factor
in a major home improvement plan, but neglecting
the outside will lead to expensive repairs down the
road. Look at the roof, siding, paint, and gutters for
any signs they need replacing.
