Sadly, summer is coming to a close and the days are cooling off. However, the colorful season of fall comes with many benefits too, such as cozying up with popcorn and movies inside the comfort of our homes. And so, before the snow flies, now is the time to take care of important repairs and winterizing our valuable homes before nature makes it much more challenging or hazardous.
Shoreline Roofing & Exterior Services offers a wide array of home maintenance services that make your transition to Canadian winter much more efficient, and safe! Roof maintenance is nothing to take lightly and should never be ignored for another season, since a small roof leak now can turn into an expensive mid-winter disaster later. Since we never know what may be in store for the colder season ahead, it’s best to be prepared and avoid potential problems.
A general guideline for making your home prepared for fall:
- Clean out gutters and downspouts.
- Clean and inspect the fireplace.
- Have chimney repairs completed.
- Store lawn furniture.
- Change batteries in smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.
- Clean and inspect furnace; replace filters.
- Remove and store portable A/C units.
- Clean out dryer vent ducting.
- Inspect and repair roof issues.
- Check/replace weather stripping throughout the home.
- Check/re-caulk around windows and doors.
Many of these tasks can absolutely be done by the homeowner; however, roof repairs and inspections may best be left to professionals. Fortunately, Shoreline can make your transition to fall much more efficient and trouble-free with our excellent exterior maintenance services.
Every autumn season, leaf build-up can wreak havoc on our homes, clogging up gutters and causing decay on the roof top if left to rot. In addition to 24/7 emergency services, we also provide roof inspections, repairs, and maintenance required to get you ready for fall. For example, our dedicated technicians can install suitable ventilation, provide weatherproofing, and replace damaged chimney flashing. We can also clean up those eavestroughs for you, de-moss your roof, and pressure-wash your outdoor space so it’s clean and clear for what lies ahead. And rest assured, our business is also fully insured and WCB work safe.
Servicing Victoria and area for over 20 years, we provide the exterior upkeep skills and expertise our customers have come to depend on.
Like the Aesop’s Fables story “The Grasshopper and the Ant,” a little bit of planning and hard work right now goes a long way in making your life run smoothly later. Let us make your home safe and sound so you can get those delicious snacks made and relax in front of all the movies and sports you can handle.
