A lot of times, when we’re replacing a roof or doing a repair of some kind, the homeowner is very tuned in to home maintenance. One project may lead to another and sometimes the home maintenance mindset is more common in the summer time as we’re outdoors more mowing the grass and visually noticing things around the house. In fact, if home maintenance has gone a few years without much TLC, it can be a bit overwhelming to start attacking again.
Know that we are clapping and cheering for you in your desire to take care of your greatest investment. But sometimes there’s too much to tackle all at once and a homeowner has to decide what projects to work on in what order.
There are 2 things that must be addressed first when it comes to home maintenance. You must address foundation issues and make sure your roof is in good condition BEFORE everything else in between.
It is almost definitely more fun to replace your kitchen cabinets or upgrade your bathroom shower because you get to see and touch those every day, but not taking care of your foundation or your roof can cause damage to anything in between those two. Always start with your roof care and a good foundation.
