Most homeowners don't put much thought into the condition of the potentially expensive-to-repair parts of their home. At least not until you start noticing problems. Home repairs can be costly inconveniences, which is why the team at Buckeye Home Services believes you should take a proactive approach to siding and roofing maintenance. For years, homeowners in Dayton, OH and the rest of the Miami Valley region have been relying on the company for their high-quality gutter, siding, and roof repair and installation services.

Below, the team at Buckeye Home Services shares three simple ways you can increase the lifespan of your roof and siding:

  • Keep Gutters Debris-Free: Gutters help redirect water away from your house's foundation and, potentially, your basement. When these channels get clogged, you can expect everything from roof leaks to foundation cracks and siding rot. To prevent the need for costly repairs, remove twigs, leaves, and mud from your gutters.
  • Dayton Ohio siding and roof maintenanceSweep Or Rake The Roof: Mother Nature is your roof’s worst enemy. Fallen branches and leaves cause shingles to curl and algae to form, and a thick enough blanket of snow could make the entire roof collapse. You can fight nature’s influences by sweeping the roof a few times each season and removing the powdery stuff after heavy snowstorms.
  • Wash Or Paint Siding: Siding comes in a variety of materials, but all require regular care to stay in top condition. If you’re working with vinyl, give it a good power wash before or after summer to remove dirt and any bugs lurking between panels. For aluminum or metal siding, if the paint on it starts to peel, scrape off the loose paint and repaint. The new layer will help protect the underlying coats. Wood needs to be treated every four to six years, so call a specialist for help.

If you have any questions about roof and siding maintenance, the team at Buckeye Home Services has the answers. They will also help with home remodeling and garage door installation, as well as provide suggestions for improving the appearance of your property.
