Just like your car…you gotta perform regular maintenance on your home to protect its value.  The problem is, no one provides you a manual for your home like they do in the glove box of your car! Common recommended tasks include: checking your foundation for signs of cracking, cleaning out your gutters to keep the flow of water off your roof, and having an arborist heck the sturdiness of the trees and where the roots are heading. Whether it’s your car or home, preventative maintenance is smart and more cost effective than emergency repairs.
