Did you know it is National Home Repair Month? Let's get celebrating!

It’s May, which means it is National Home Repair Month! This month, we will celebrate all the wonderful homeowners out there who want to take great care of their homes, as well as the good people who work to repair them.

Are you a homeowner who has kept up with repairs? Or maybe you know you need to repair your home, but you aren’t sure where to start?

Is your home on a solid foundation?

Why not start with the base of your home’s structure? You need to make sure your home is on a solid foundation. Otherwise that expensive remodel or repair may be completely undone after your walls, doorways, and floors begin to crack and buckle. It’s worth having a foundation pro come out--especially if it is for free!--to assess your home’s foundation. While you may be seeing the first signs of failure, such as cracks above doorways or in the brick of your home, you may still be able to put in a preventative system that can stop your foundation from sinking further and damaging your home. Remember, it will never be cheaper to fix than it is today!

Go green to save green!

Another option? Make your home more energy-efficient. Be sure to use a company that offers a comprehensive encapsulation and moisture control system for your basement or crawl space. An encapsulated foundation not only makes it easier to use those areas of the home for storage, but it can also reduce your cooling and heating costs by up to 35% per year! Investing in quality encapsulation will bring you value for years to come. And if you keep with regular maintenance, your transferrable warranty will add even more value to your asset, should you decide to sell your home.

Unsightly, cracked concrete? Don't blow your budget by replacing it!

Finally, take a look at your driveway, patio, walkways, and sidewalks. Notice any cracking or sinking? You could pay thousands of dollars to tear up and repour the concrete; or, for a fraction of the cost, you can repair those cracks, and level those slabs. PolyLevel and our suite of concrete repair products, make for an attractive way to fully repair your concrete and make it as good, if not better, as new!

While there are many options and places to begin repairing your home, you would be best served to start just like your builder did: from the ground up. Reach out for a free inspection today.
