Clean Your Gutters Regularly
When your gutters get bogged down with a bunch of leaves and debris, they can get mildew and mold and they can start to break and fall apart. If you dont want to have to spend a ton of money replacing your gutters on a regular basis, make sure to give them a good cleaning a few times a year. Always following the proper safety precautions, get a pair of thick rubber gloves and a ladder and scoop them out. You can use the hose to finish the job. By cleaning your gutters now and then, especially during heavy rainy seasons, you can save a lot of money on potential replacements and repairs in the future.
Trim Dangerous Branches
If you want to prevent having to pay repair costs on your roofing and on your skylights, then youll be well advised to make a quick call today and spend a few dollars hiring a professional tree doctor to come out and get rid of those dangerous looking branches. If a tree is old, dying and rotting, then branches can just start falling off one after another over time, and in order to make sure that those branches dont hurt your home, or that fresh branches dont hit your skylight in heavy winds, then youll want to get rid of those high-risk branches early to make sure they dont cost you later on.
Prevent Bird Window Strikes
Its surprising how common it can become in certain instances, but if you live where there are a lot of birds, if you have a feeder outside, expect to see a window strike now and then. There are a few ways you can keep this from happening and cracking your window and injuring birds. First of all, dont place potted plants right in front of the window, or birds will look at it, think its part of the outside area, and fly right at it. Secondly, you can try putting a feather guard on the outside, which is a suction cup with feathers on it to warn birds that thats a solid surface. A light smear of glass wax, fake snow, toothpaste or other non-abrasive substances can also do the trick.
Taking care of your home doesnt just mean waiting until repairs are needed and then having them done or performing a lot of home improvement Fairfax, VA projects.
