How to Handle Common Fall Repairs

As the leaves change and temperatures drop, it’s time to turn our attention to fall home maintenance. From leaky roofs to broken fences, autumn brings its own set of repair challenges. In this post, we’ll explore solutions to common fall repair issues and highlight the benefits of professional services.

1. Roof Repairs: Don’t Let Leaks Ruin Your Fall.

A leaky roof can lead to significant water damage if left unaddressed. Here’s what you can do:

  • Visual Inspection: Regularly inspect your roof for signs of damage, such as missing shingles, cracks, or sagging.
  • Professional Inspection: If you notice any issues, consult a roofing professional for a thorough inspection and expert advice.
  • Quick Fixes: You can often handle minor repairs, like replacing loose shingles, yourself. However, it’s best to call in a professional for major leaks or structural damage.

2. Fence Fixes: Keep Your Property Secure.

A damaged fence can compromise your property’s security and detract from its curb appeal. Here’s what to do:

  • Identify the Problem: Determine whether the fence is damaged due to weather, wear and tear, or other factors.
  • DIY or Professional: For minor repairs, you can often fix damaged boards or posts yourself. However, for extensive damage or structural issues, it’s recommended to hire a professional fence contractor.

3. Drainage Issues: Prevent Water Damage. 

Proper drainage is essential for preventing water damage to your foundation and landscaping. Here are some common drainage problems and solutions:

  • Clogged Gutters: Regularly clean your gutters to prevent clogs and ensure proper water flow.
  • Graded Landscaping: Ensure your landscaping slopes away from your foundation to prevent water pooling.
  • French Drains: If you have persistent drainage problems, a French drain can help redirect water away from your property.
