Call in the Pros

Meet Tiffany Strawbridge, Owner CR3 American Exteriors

For homeowners looking to invest wisely in home repairs and renovations, what are the tell-tale signs that it's time to call a pro?

Investing in home repairs at the right time can save you money and prevent costly damage. Here’s when to bring in a professional:

• Roofing – Missing shingles, leaks, or granules in your gutters suggest roof aging and potential water damage.

• Gutters – Sagging, rust, or overflowing water indicate clogs, leaks, or improper drainage, leading to foundation damage.

• Siding – Warping, cracks, or fading paint can signal moisture issues, energy loss, or aging materials.

• Windows – Drafts, condensation between panes, or difficulty opening and closing mean it’s time for energy-efficient replacements.

• Decking – Rotting boards, loose railings, or structural instability compromise safety and curb appeal.

Spot these issues early, and you’ll protect your home’s value while avoiding bigger, more expensive problems.

Spring is here. What seasonal repairs or maintenance should homeowners be aware of for these areas?

As winter fades, spring brings the perfect opportunity to check for seasonal wear and tear on your home. Here’s what to look for:

• Roofing – Look for missing or curled shingles, damaged flashing, or leaks in the attic after spring rains. Addressing small issues now prevents costly repairs later.

• Gutters – Clear out leaves and debris to prevent clogs, check for sagging or leaks, and ensure downspouts direct water away from your foundation.

• Siding – Inspect for cracks, warping, or mold growth caused by winter moisture. A power wash can refresh its look and remove built-up grime.

• Windows – Check for drafts, damaged seals, or condensation between panes. Clean screens and lubricate window tracks for smooth operation.

• Decking – Inspect for loose boards, rusted fasteners, or signs of rot. Clean and reseal wood decks to protect against moisture and UV damage.

Taking care of these seasonal maintenance tasks now will help protect your home, boost curb appeal, and prevent costly repairs down the road.
