Is exterior home maintenance necessary?

Tuesday, April 5th, 2022 by Maria Sotire

We do tune-ups for our cars, and our heating systems and get regular check-ups for our health, but is it really necessary to have the outside of your home inspected and maintained?

Your home is a major investment.  It makes sense that you’ll want to keep it in top condition.  The outside of your home isn’t just your roof, siding & windows - it is a complex system designed to preserve, shield and sustain the structure of your home.

Let’s start with your roof- your roof protects your whole house from the top down from the elements.  A poorly maintained roof is more likely to develop problems as it is exposed constantly to the weather.  Many roofing manufacturers require maintenance as a warranty requirement. 

Your exterior siding provides protection and adds curb appeal.  The benefit of regular inspection and maintenance is the key to long-lasting beauty for your home.

As home improvement professionals, we can spot and diagnose issues that most homeowners are not even aware of until it is too late.  Preventative maintenance is much more cost-effective than waiting until you have a full-blown issue.
