TIPS FROM CALL 1 HOME SERVICES, YOUR HOME REPAIR AND REMODELING COMPANY IN CHARLOTTE, N.C.

Let’s face it, We are going to have to maintain our homes. They are not going to do it for us. And if left alone your house will fall down around you. If this happens, then it’s probably time for you to buy a new house. You could even check out these William Pitt homes for sale if your house is no longer livable. However, you can avoid all of this, if you just look after your home well. Make sure you get it regularly inspected and don’t just forget about it.

The exterior of your home is by far the most important. It shelters all that you have including your love ones. Things do wear out and need repair or replacement. And if you do these things as they come up you will be in much better shape than if you wait and you have a list a mile long with all this stuff screaming for your attention. There are of course things that you can do yourself, Caulking, painting, pressure washing, small projects that you can look at and say Hey I can do this. And there are things that you may need a Home Repair Company or Handyman service to help you with.

For God’s sake lets keep things dry. And what I mean is just that. If we have a leaking roof it is going to cause all kinds of problems if not corrected quickly. Damage to structural components to your home is an absolute no-no for a homeowner. Never let these things go. If you see signs of your roof leaking, don’t hesitate to contact a professional roofing service like dominionroofing.com.

Water can also rot away siding that has not been properly painted and sealed. This is why it’s so important to make sure that you have a professional out to fit the siding properly. If the siding doesn’t fit properly to the property, it can be an easy way for pests and moisture to enter into the structure of the home. That’s not ideal. If water does begin to rot the siding away, you might want to consider looking at a replacement James Hardie siding guide to improve the exterior of your home. You don’t want rotted siding, so try and get it replaced if it’s ruining the curb appeal of your home.


Water from gutters that discharge at the foundation is also asking for trouble. When the ground at the foundation gets saturated it can cause the footings to sink and therefore causing cracks and settling. Very hard and expensive to repair. Put extensions on the downspouts so it carries water away from the home.

Bathrooms & Kitchens are also areas that need your attention. Always keep a check on areas under sinks. Sometimes a leak may be present and you do not find it for months. And by that time you have a cabinet base that is about to fall through and could case subfloor & joist damage.

So if you can tell so far in this blog that water is needed for humans but it the worst thing for the homes we live. So let’s keep an eye on these things and protect our investments.
