via Tumblr To do, or not to do… Back when we were planning our kitchen remodel, we wanted to pack as much character as we could into our little space.

via Tumblr Changing A Square Door to an Arch: Before & Afters Spring is just around the corner, and it’s time to start spring home maintenance tasks. Canadian winters can be harsh, and they can take a real toll on your home. This is especially true for highly exposed areas, like your roof. Fortunately, there are several simple things you can do to care for your roof this spring and get ahead of any repairs it may need. 4 Springtime Maintenance Tasks for Your RoofNo matter what kind of roof you may have on your home, these simple tips can help you keep it stable and in great shape for many years to come: 1. Do a Visual AppraisalFirst things first – take a walk around the perimeter of your home and look up at your roof line. As you do, you should be looking for debris, damaged shingles, evidence of mold or mildew, or spots of the roof that are abnormally damp or dry. These signs can all indicate a need for roof repair. 2. Check Your AtticAttics are a reliable indicator of problem areas on your roof. For example, a roof that is leaking will typically show signs in the attic, first. With this in mind, look for water stains, stale water, mold or mildew odors, and areas of poor roofing ventilation. Discoloration and sagging in the ceiling are also two warning signs. If you notice any of the above, it’s time to call the roof repair professionals immediately. 3. Clean and Check Your GuttersYour gutters are your home’s first line of defense against water and water damage. However, throughout a hard winter, they can collect dead leaves and other debris that impair their functionality and lead to water buildup at the roofline. With this in mind, spring is the time to remove debris, make your gutters secure from birds, and repair any minor issues so your gutters keep functioning as they should. 4. Get a Professional’s OpinionIf you want real peace of mind about your roof, contact the professionals. They’ll be able to identify issues and offer repairs before you run into significant problems that will be far more costly to fix. Head into Spring With a Happy Healthy RoofDoing these simple things each spring can help you avoid emergency roof repair and they will extend the lifespan of your roof. Need professional assistance?
