Gutters are another area of your home
that should be checked out and maintained regularly. Gutters left unchecked are a
major source of home damage. Gutters that are clogged can cause severe damage
to your home’s siding and roof if they become filled with frozen water. Also,
downspouts that have separated from gutters can cause water damage around the
home’s foundation that can also lead to water in the basement. See my article on
“Gutter Repair Tips”
to learn more on how to maintain your home’s gutters.
Also, October is an excellent time of
the year to prepare your home for the onslaught of winter. Temporary storm
windows should be installed, chimney flues should be cleaned and the roof should
be inspected. To learn more on how to winterize your home see my article on “Winterizing
your Home”.
Finally, I have added a couple of new
home improvement calculators to HomeAdditionPlus.com. If you have a ceramic tile
project or a drywall project planned check out my “Drywall
Panel Calculator” or “Ceramic
Tile Calculator”. They can help you accurately estimate your drywall
panel and ceramic tile needs.
If you have
specific home improvement questions feel free to visit the
Ask HomeAdditionPlus
forum, where you can share your questions, and get answers from our community of
homeowners and contractors.
As always, if you have any specific Home Improvement
questions or would like to see articles on certain subjects send me an email at
contact@homeadditionplus.com.
Also, if you have pictures of your home or latest home
improvement project that you want to share with the HomeAdditionPlus.com community [Click

Again, good luck with your fall home improvement
projects!

Gutter repair is an
important maintenance task that needs to be performed regularly. Gutter repair
could be as simple as removing leaves and debris from the gutters, to as
comprehensive as replacing them. Gutters should be
inspected at least a couple of times each year. Preferably, gutters should be
inspected before and after the winter months. [Read

Check the Roof
-
It is important that you go up on your roof (or a professional) and inspect
it for loose roof shingles and ridge vents. If you find loose shingles and/or
ridge vents, it is important to replace them to prevent any water damage or ice
damage. [Read
