• Check all exterior walls for peeling or cracked paint. If you decide to repaint your house yourself, you can cut this job down to size by painting just one or two walls per year. Typically, paint on south and west-facing walls deteriorates faster and requires more frequent recoating than paint on north or east-facing walls.
• Inspect roofing material for cracks and loose or missing shingles or tiles and repair as necessary. If you have access to attic spaces, check underneath the roof for stains that indicate leaks, especially from “flashed” areas in roof valleys and around chimneys and vent stacks.
• Inspect the operation of automatic light timers and motion-detector systems, especially if you plan a vacation.
• Prune trees and shrubs so that branches do not come in contact with exterior of the house.
• Clean and repair cracks in concrete driveways using epoxy patching material.
• Inspect foundation and walls for signs of termites—tunnels or dirt bridges. If you suspect termites, contact a professional exterminator or give us a call for a referral.
