With winter just around the corner, many homeowners are preparing their homes for the extreme cold to reduce the impact of the weather on their safety and comfort. Here are a few steps you can take, from power washing to improving the efficiency of your heating system, to staying secure and warm all winter.
How to Care for Your Home’s Siding
1. Do Regular Landscaping
Regular yard and house cleaning not only keeps your home looking fantastic but also helps keep it protected. Vines, shrubs, and trees that grow too close to your siding are damaging. To keep it free of stains and dents, regularly trim back any greenery that borders your home
2. Keep It Clean
Whether it’s everyday dirt and grime or mold and mildew growth from flooding, you must maintain your siding and keep it clean. On a house cleaning weekend, use soapy water and a brush to wipe surfaces clean. Remove mildew or mold growth by pressure washing your siding to ensure eradication.
3. Keep Gutters Cleared of Obstructions
When clean, gutters, which allow water to drain correctly, guide runoff away from your home. When clogged with leaves and other debris, water pools on the roof and under and down the siding. Water damage that affects the roof, the foundation, and the siding is expensive to repair. Keeping gutters clean helps to avoid runoff problems and keeps your siding protected from water damage.
