Inspect & Enjoy

Front entries set the tone of a home so keeping them looking good is of importance. Semi-annual inspections can easily keep them in top condition by allowing for minor repairs to be completed before they can become a major undertaking.

- make sure gutters are kept cleaned and adjusted for proper flow
- look at decorative mouldings to make sure caulk seams aren't opening and paint looks fresh
- check column bases for soft spots and open seams
- make sure that column "crowns" are sealed and do not allow water penetration 
- make sure the front door and the doors hardware doesn't appear weathered 
- have overhanging roofs inspected for leaks or damage
