Repairs are often necessary before putting your home up for sale. Prospective buyers will naturally inspect every area to see if the property is in good condition. Gutter Helmet® of St. Louis, Mid-Missouri and Kansas City talks about classic problem areas you should address before listing your home for sale.
Fix Your Gutters
Gutters direct rainwater away from your home. Clogged gutters can lead to mold growth, roof leaks, stained siding and even a cracked foundation. While cleaning your gutters regularly is a short-term fix, there is a more permanent solution. Investing in gutter toppers in Granite City, Illinois, will prevent clogs from happening.
For your next home, consider installing Gutter Helmet. This gutter protection system utilizes surface tension and gravity to keep everything but rainwater from entering your gutters. It completely covers the gutters and extends over the edge. Thanks to surface tension, water flows over the Nose Forward Design™ and into the 3/8” opening while leaves and debris fall harmlessly away. Gutter Helmet will reduce your gutter’s maintenance needs and save money.
Repair Siding
Your siding is one of the most visible parts of your home, so if there are stains or it needs repair, you need to take care of it. While washing your siding can work, you’ll need to replace it if you see signs of rot.
Fix Your Roof
Finally, hire a professional to inspect your roof for any damage to catch small problems before they get worse. If you need to replace your roof, consider doing so before listing your home so you don’t have negotiate on price due to the need for replacement.
