Your gutters serve an important purpose, keeping water away from the foundation of your home to avoid unwelcome structural and water damage. However, like almost everything in your home, in order to function properly your gutters must be maintained on a regular basis. To help you avoid potential gutter problems and damage down the road, here are a few great tips to keep him mind as you monitor your gutter maintenance.

• Look for leaks. Clogged gutters do not allow water to be dispersed away from your home, which can lead to crawl space or basement flooding. Be on the look out for suspicious puddles or water stains on the walls.


• Check for cracks. If water is pooling around your home’s foundation it can weaken the footing and create visible cracks in your foundation wall. As the weather cools down these cracks can become more visible due to the natural freezing and expanding of water.


• Spot the rot. Clogged, backed up gutters will overflow and cause rotting to occur on the wood fascia around the house. If you notice wood rot, clean the gutters immediately and call a professional to replace the damaged fascia boards.


• Inspect the pavement. If you notice sagging or cracking on your driveway or walkway, this could indicate that water is not being redirected properly by your gutters. This may be due to a clog or interruption in the system’s water flow.

The best way to prevent major damage is to have your gutters cleaned by a professional regularly who will always be on the look out for suspicious inconsistencies within your home and gutter system. That way you’ll never have to worry about finding the time to clean before it’s too late!

It’s National Curb Appeal Month, which means it’s the perfect time to reinvent and rejuvenate your home’s exterior. Whether you’re looking for a simple DIY upgrade, or want to give your home a completely new look with a professional makeover, there are tons of great projects to help you start sprucing things up! Here are some of the top tips to boost your home’s curb appeal this August.

1. Be creative with your siding. If your home’s siding looks like it’s ready to be replaced, consider mixing and matching siding materials for a unique exterior. 

2. Pick up a paint brush. For a simple yet dramatic difference add a pop of color to your front door, shutters or window boxes.

3. Pave the way to the entrance. If the cement path to your front entrance is lacking in luster, replace it with a professionally paved one! Stamped cement or custom cut stone create a visually appealing pathway.

4. Shine some light to show the way. If you’re satisfied with your current pathway’s aesthetics, show it off in the dark as well as the light. Adding some custom outdoor lighting to highlight your walkway and define outdoor living spaces can make a world of difference.

5. Add a charming porch. If you’re looking for a more drastic upgrade, hire a contractor to build you the perfect porch. This adds personality to your home and increases available outdoor living space.

6. Bust out the power washer. Give your home a good clean scrub down. If you don’t own a power washer head over to your local home improvement store and rent one for the weekend. Your siding, deck and pavement can all benefit from a good pressure wash.

7. Manage your home’s drainage system. If your home is without rain gutters, or your existing gutters need repairs, now is the time to invest in an installation. Already have working rain gutters? Adding a pop of color with some paint can help boost your curb appeal!
