Being a homeowner is a great undertaking and likely one of the biggest investments you will make in your life. In order to protect that investment, it is important to actively care for your home. This means knowing when to call a professional in time of need.
Here are the four types of contractors you should have in your contact list.
- Roofer: Because your roof is your home’s main defense against inclement weather, you need to make sure that it is properly taken care of all year round. A roofer can repair cracked shingles, torn flashing, damage around vents and more to prevent leaks and water damage from occurring.
- Gutter cleaner: When it comes to home maintenance, clogged gutters are a big no-no. If your gutters are filled with leaves, twigs, animal droppings and other debris, rainwater or snowmelt will not drain properly away from your home, potentially causing a host of problems, including mildew growth, soil erosion and basement flooding. With a trusted roofer and gutter cleaner on call, you will not have to worry about these things anymore.
- Electrician: In cases of electrical malfunctions, an electrician can fix the problem safely. Even minor electrical repairs present risks that only a trained professional should handle. So, unless you are one, do not attempt to fix these electrical problems to avoid creating significant damage and, in extreme situations, a fire hazard.
- Plumber: Patching up leaks and unclogging drains are something you learn to do on your own over time, but you may still need the help of a certified plumber for bigger complications, such as water heater or sump pump failure.
