About 70 percent of American homeowners think of their home as the largest asset that they own, so naturally, you would assume that they adhere to a strict home maintenance schedule. As a Roofing Contractor in New Brittain<\/a>, we find that is not always the case when it comes to their roof. It tends to be one of those “out of sight, out of mind” areas until you have a roofing emergency. More on that subject coming up, but for now let us go over 5 important parts of your home that often get neglected:<\/p>

Siding and Gutters<\/strong><\/p>

Pay close attention to these two important components of your home. If your siding is cracked it will make a passageway for moisture and insects to easily enter and cause all kinds of problems. if your gutters are clogged, not hung properly, or leaking at the seams they can cause cracks to the foundation, damage to the fascia board and soffit, and even roof damage! When they are not correctly maintained, some unfortunate surprises like mold growth, rot, and costly replacement parts can result.<\/p>

Roofing System<\/strong><\/p>

A roof takes up close to fifty percent of the exterior of a building, and It has a notable impact on its curb appeal. Problems like a leaky roof can create expensive repairs or even a full replacement including the decking beneath. * An important part of home maintenance is scheduling annual roof inspections with a contractor for Roofing in New Brittain<\/a> and making the necessary repairs so you get the most out of your roofs service life.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Masonry & Foundation<\/strong><\/p>

Investigate your foundation, patios, and walkways, especially after periods of heavy rain and hail. When snow and hail accumulate next to the walls of your home condensation can seep into the pores of the foundation.<\/p>

Deck & Porches<\/strong><\/p>

Watch all of your decks, patios, porches, stairs, and railings for weak elements and obvious damage. Wood decks and fences should be treated about every 4-6 years or earlier depending on the amount of exposure they receive from the weather such as sun, rain, snow, hail, and wind.<\/p>

Energy Efficiency<\/strong><\/p>

As a New Brittain Roofer<\/a> and exteriors professional, the two most well-known causes of energy loss in a home that we see are created by insufficient attic insulation and outdated energy-inefficient windows. Examining these two parts will help you save cash and help make your home greener!<\/p>
