Home Improvement: Signs your gutters are in need of repair – Salisbury Post
Posted on October 1, 2020 by [email protected]_84
Metro Creative
Fall is a great time to tackle projects around the house. The weather each fall allows homeowners to make improvements to their homes’ exteriors without worrying about extreme heat or cold, while interior projects like painting are made easier because homeowners can open the windows to allow for proper ventilation. Fall also marks a great time to prepare for upcoming projects that can make winter work that much easier. For example, fall is a great time to take stock of your gutters so you can address any issues before leaves begin to fall or the first snowstorm touches down. Compromised gutters can contribute to water issues in basements and adversely affect a home’s foundation if not addressed immediately, so it behooves homeowners to learn the signs that gutters are in need of repair or replacement.
• Gutters hanging off the home: Gutters were once installed predominantly with spikes.

Home improvement, roof repair contractor fraud spikes in Colorado
Posted on October 1, 2020 by [email protected]_84
DENVER (KDVR) – If you lost communication with your contractor, or are unhappy with repair work completed by a contractor, you’re probably not alone.
The District Attorney’s office located in the 18th judicial district is reporting an increased number of calls to their office about home improvement projects and hired contractors.
“While some problems cannot be anticipated, we believe that homeowners may have avoided financial losses and project delays if they had researched the business or contractor and taken some precautions,” said James Sorrells, Director of Consumer Fraud Protection.
Some complaints have come from organizations and businesses, but the majority have come from homeowners.
Sorrells said the most common form of fraud stems from roof repair. Homeowners either lose communication with their contractor or find problems with the repair work and cannot get ahold of the business to address the issue.
The most common red flags homeowners should keep in

The handyman looked at the plaster dangling from the top of our downstairs window. Then, he headed upstairs to check the seal on the window directly overhead.
“It needs some caulk,” he announced when he returned. “If I come out again and fix it, it’ll cost $250. Or, you can pick up caulk for two or three bucks and do it yourself.”
My husband and I exchanged a nervous glance. The last time I’d held a caulk gun was 10 years ago. He never had.
But we’d just been told how to knock 99% off our potential repair bill. It seemed like now was the perfect time to learn!

Regular Maintenance Reduces Heating Repair Costs
Posted on May 5, 2020 by [email protected]_84
The time to think about heating repair is before the cool weather rolls in. It’s easy to ignore the system that provides cozy warmth throughout the winter months, but regular maintenance means that HVAC systems can be kept in top condition, saving the cost of early replacement. A small time investment can pay off in terms of longevity of equipment.
Cleaning
Most systems contain some type of filtration. Regularly checking and changing the filters, especially at the beginning of the season, can help reduce wear on HVAC equipment. If the system relies upon forced hot air, cleaning the vents and pipes is another task that should be carried out at least once a year. It may be beneficial to check with local service providers to ask about regular maintenance programs. Keeping the system and filters clean reduces indoor air pollution as well as increasing the efficiency of the system, providing … Read More
