Being proactive about home maintenance is the best way to avoid costly problems. By investing in routine maintenance, you can identify and resolve minor issues around the houe before they develop into expensive catastrophes.
Part of responsible homeownership is knowing when the core protective elements of your home—such as the roof, siding, and windows—have reached the end of their service life and need to be replaced. Bradford Exteriors shares some warning signs to watch for:
Windows
Are your windows drafty? Do they refuse to stay open? If the sashes or frame are warped or broken, replacing the window is a better move than repairing it. These issues not only allow water infiltration, they also cause energy loss, resulting in higher utility bills. It’s best to replace your old, drafty windows with low-maintenance, ENERGY STAR®-rated windows for long-term benefits.
Roof
Standing on the street, examine your roof with a pair of binoculars to check for cracked, curling, or missing shingles. You should also look for discoloration as this implies that your roof is losing its efficiency. Take note of its age as well to know if it’s nearing the end of its life span.
As your trusted contractor, we can help make the most of your roof replacement. We deliver top-notch solutions and professional craftsmanship to achieve lasting results.
Siding
Your siding affects both the protection and beauty of your home. If your siding is showing signs of mold, moisture, and rot, however, it means that it no longer serves it purpose.
For your next replacement, we recommend James Hardie® fiber cement siding. It is designed with the innovative HardieZone® System to withstand the demands of your local climate. It is also impervious to fire, moisture, and impact, giving your home superior protection that will last.
