There are many exterior home repairs you may have to handle as a homeowner. While many are best addressed by home improvement professionals, many common issues can be identified early to prevent major damage.
Whether it’s to avoid a roof leak or simply keep your house pristine, here are the most common home repair projects you’re likely to encounter during the life of your home:
Home siding can enhance the aesthetic of your home exterior, while also increasing energy efficiency and moisture defense. Most siding materials are incredibly durable, but eventually can succumb to natural wear and tear. If you notice water stains, surface cracks, peeling or bubbling paint, mold or sagging panels, it may be time to make some repairs.
Window frames can last multiple decades without needing your attention, and sometimes longer. However, certain variables can shorten their lifespan, including environmental stresses, pressure washing or poor installation. It’s a good idea to inspect your window frames once per year to identify any major issues before they worsen.
The roof is arguably one of the most important exterior components of your home, and definitely one of the most expensive to replace. Regular inspections can help you avoid costly repairs resulting from long periods of neglect. Some common issues include standing water or poor roof drainage, mold growth or missing shingles.
Gutter maintenance is essential to maintaining the condition of your home exterior, especially if you live in a region with frequent rainfall. Clogged or faulty gutters can lead to mold growth, wood rot, leaks or pest problems. If you notice any sagging or cracks in your gutters, consult a professional for advice on how to repair or replace them.
The condition of your exterior paint is more important than just curb appeal. Peeling or bubbling of paint on the outside of your home might point to more serious problems like moisture damage or structural issues.
These are only a few of the most common exterior home repairs you’re likely to face as a homeowner. The more you know about home maintenance, the better you can take care of your investment.
