Exterior Maintenance
- Check the foundation for cracks; caulk around the areas where masonry meets siding, where pipes or wires enter the house, and around the windows and door frames.
- Inspect exterior walls for any peeling or blistering paint on the house or outbuildings.
- Have a licensed, certified roofing professional check the condition of your roof.
- After the last leaf falls, clear out the gutters and downspouts, flush them with water, inspect joints and tighten brackets. Point downspouts away from the foundation.
- Examine your pool cover for damage and replace if necessary.
- Weather-strip your garage door, making a tight seal between your garage door and the ground.
- Inspect your driveway for cracks. Clean out and repair any damage with driveway filler, then coat with a commercial sealer.
