SUMMARY:
With the ringing in of a new year, people tend to think about the intentions they had for the previous year, many of which ended up being delayed for one reason or another. This is particularly true for home exterior upgrades and repairs, which are typically higher cost projects and easy to ignore. However, putting off these projects can expose your home to much more expensive damage and even endanger your family in various ways. As the calendar rolls over to 2023, BTB Construction wants to remind Lynchburg, VA area homeowners to make home repairs and siding, window, roofing, and gutter replacement a priority.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
While procrastination is a serious issue with the repair and replacement of home exterior materials during any time, during the COVID-19 pandemic and following, it became even easier for homeowners to cancel and postpone projects. Labor and materials shortages have made it difficult for customers to even get jobs on the calendar, and those that have experienced financial setbacks during the pandemic find it hard to fit home repairs into their budgets.
As 2023 begins, however, BTB Construction believes it is important to notify local homeowners that now is the time to schedule long-overdue repairs and replacements. Roofs, gutters, windows, and siding that are several years past their expected life of service will inevitably begin to allow moisture to make its way inside the home and contribute to mildew and mold growth. Outdated windows waste energy every time the furnace or air conditioning runs in comparison with modern options. In the worst case scenario, compromised foundations and roofs can weaken the structure of the home itself and endanger those living in it.
The leadership at BTB Construction has worked hard throughout the pandemic to provide alternative options and work with new vendors when materials are out of stock, and currently supplies are becoming much more readily available as production moves closer to normal levels. With a number of equipment acquisitions, hiring of talent, and expansion of capabilities in the Lynchburg, Virginia area, BTB Construction is ready to schedule critical projects and provide gutter, window, siding, and roofing services.
Homeowners who are not sure whether their home’s exterior materials are due for replacement can call BTB Construction to have their expert roofers in Lynchburg conduct an inspection. Telltale signs of excessive wear include visible cracks or missing pieces of siding or roofing material, mold/mildew/moss growing on the walls or roof of your home, and the feel and smell of mustiness inside the home. Pooling of water around the base of your home’s walls following rain is another warning sign, often indicating that your gutters are filled with debris and are not directing water away from the foundation as they are designed to do.
Local homeowners and commercial property managers can have their buildings inspected with a call to BTB Construction at 434-525-3100. In addition to identifying damage and materials replacement needs, the company’s experts can present material varieties and price estimates to help clients decide on the best options.
