Homeowners are proud of their assets because they earned them; yet, many assets, such as your house, require sufficient care for which you have to put away at least one-percent of your sunk costs to ensure you spend them wisely on maintenance and emergency repairs.

Siding Inspection

Serving as your home’s exterior shield, your house siding has a crucial role to play. Nothing is indestructible, and some materials are more prone to weather damage than others—unless you give it the necessary attention and care.

It is the dream of many people to own and live in a cozy log cabin, which many city dwellers just won’t understand. Log homes with wood siding have a high R-value and conserve energy extremely well. They keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Of course, contemporary homes use fiber cement, vinyl, stucco, and aluminum. Those structures are typically built on a foundation, and, over time, your house will settle into place, during which foundation cracks may occur.

Annual siding inspection services from your Black Forest handyman include:

• Spotting and fixing foundation cracks
• Sealing gaps in foundation and concrete
• Inspecting sheathing behind siding for decay and pests
• Checking soffit and fascia boards for moisture damage
• Inspecting window and door trims
• Checking for mortar deterioration
• Energy audit (if applicable, to measure insulation efficiency)
• Routine pressure washing services

Having a qualified and experienced Black Forest handyman inspect and maintain your siding in the spring will check for any potential winter damage. Once you get the peace of mind that no water or foundation damage is evident, your home is safe!

Window Repair

If you’re dealing with an air leak, you may think that simply caulking the trim would fix the problem. But sometimes this is not enough. Although your double-pane window looks intact, it could still be the culprit for driving up your energy bills. Whether you have double-glazed or thermopane glass, anything your window is attached to also has to be in good condition. Issues like rotted wood will deteriorate your window’s efficiency. All the associated parts around your window system should be examined for optimal performance.

Signs You Need Window Repair

• Rotted frame or sill, peeling paint
• Rusty hinges
• Condensation trapped between panes
• It won’t open or close properly
• Poor noise insulation

Don’t let cold drafts drive up your heating and cooling bills! To get a detailed inspection, hire your local and experienced handyman. Black Forest CO log homes are more prone to drafty windows when gaps and cracks aren’t sealed. Let’s get that fixed—along with any other issues throughout the window unit.
