Winter is almost here and it’s important to make sure you home is in good condition for the cold winter months. Check out some tips for home winter maintenance:

  • Clean your gutters: Blocked gutters can result in melting ice and snow to enter your roof or foundation causing serious damage.
  • Evaluate your Roof: Throughout the year the severe weather can result in shingles and tiles to break and even create leaks and holes. Make sure before snow collects on your roof you make sure it’s in good condition.
  • Seal the windows: Inspect your windows to see if there is a draft coming through, you should seal these windows to keep heat in and energy bills low.

Three Sons recently added a beautiful portico & railings to a home in Wakefield, MA. A portico is a covered entrance that’s supported by regularly spaced columns. The difference between a portico and a front porch is that a portico isn’t considered a social area while a front porch is.

Its main purpose is to add a design element to the outside of a building however it also has a functional purpose by shielding guests from rain or snow. Porticos are available in a variety of designs styles and materials that can enhance any home. It’s important to make sure that the style of your portico will match the period and architectural style of your house.

Is it Time to Replace Your Roof?

Posted by admin on
With Winter right around the corner, it may be time to replace your old roof. Here are some signs that it may be time for an upgrade:before & after roof
  • Age: Most experts agree that a typical roof will last between 20 and 25 years. It also depends on whether the current roof has one layer of shingles and is properly ventilated. If the roof was installed over another layer and is older than 20 years, chances are you need a new roof.
  • Curling or Buckling: Shingles that are curling or buckling are another sign that you may need a new roof. If you see that this is happening it could mean that your shingles are past their life expectancy.
  • Missing or Broken Shingles: If you see that your roof shingles are falling apart or missing in the valleys, you could be susceptible to roof leaks.
  • Chimney Flashing: An older chimney may be flashed with cement or tar. It may be time to replace with a metal flashing system.
  • Shingle Granules: When cleaning your gutters, look and see if there are any shingle granules or look to see if any of the granules have worn away.
  • Seeing daylight through roof boards: If you notice a spongy feeling when walking on the roof or if you see daylight coming through the roof boards it is likely time for a new roof.

Soon we will experience extreme weather conditions in New England. If your roof is showing signs of age or damage, you may want to consider a new roof.
