Housworth Construction serving Norcross, GA

Sometimes it's the small things we don't always think about that need attention. Having clogged gutters doesn't just impact the weight of the gutter & them pulling away from your fascia board. One thing many homeowners don't realize is that when gutters are clogged the water can often find its way pushing back & rotting out the edge of the plywood where the plywood meets the gutter. When this happens you can expect a leak & expect to shell out money for sheetrock damages & a roof repair that will consist of replacing damaged plywood. Another problem that can occur is wood rot with your fascia & soffit wood. This also can be very expensive. When any type of wood rot occurs you can also open yourself up to unwanted critters. Preventive gutter cleaning maintenance is highly recommended at every season. This will help ensure unwanted expenses for homeowners.

Checking your windows can save you thousands of dollars in the long run. Most of the time when it comes to windows you will typically see moisture inside the window payne which indicates that the seal has been broken or come loose. When this happens most glass companies or window repair companies can just simply replace the window sash for you. However if you don't keep your windows painted, they will start to rot. This is where simple maintance can add up to hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Once you start seeing window rot, you probably will start to see the window frame rotting also. To prevent a big expense always check your windows & once you see any wood rot address it sooner than later.

It's great to have a satellite dish, but be careful when the only place it can get installed is on your roof system. This is the absolute last place it should ever be installed. For starters, most manufacturers void any warranty for the shingles when they see a dish on the roof. The second biggest reason is that if the dish installer didn't install it correctly or caulk the bolts used to bolt the dish to the plywood, you are pretty much guaranteed to have a roof leak sooner rather than later. The repairs sometimes can be costly from a dish installed on the roof because once the plywood is rotted it must be replaced. Once you start replacing the plywood & replacing shingles it adds up. Always try to install a dish anywhere other than your roof system or side of the house to prevent damage.
