1. Outside or inside home repairs and renovations.

They recoup their costs 100 plus percent on resale if you choose the right colors, materials, and get them at the right cost (investment). Too many folks engage the wrong contractors or decorators and end up with a rennovation that has less than half the value it should even though it may satisfy the personal tastes and interests of the current homeowner. You should get both personal satisfaction and a good return on your investment. Call 870-1982

2. Save on utility bills, prevent home disasters, and extend life of your HVAC and Appliances.

Avoid home fires and water damage from dryers, HVAC and refrigerators that leak and explode or ignite. You don't want to collect on your home insurance policy.  Also prolong your appliances' life and save on monthly energy bills.  Have a professional inspect and clean your HVAC and appliances and let them replace the hose on your washer if it is not the reinforced type.   The cost is minimal compared to the risk. We already had one homeowner saved from flooding by having an inspection of their washer hose and found a leak ready to burst.  Install a programmable thermostat before winter takes its toll on your pocketbook. -- Call 870-1982


3. Water Damage from clogged gutters

The number one cause of rotten windows and wood is that they were not properly caulked and painted or the gutters are overflowing with water and causing water damage costing thousands to repair.  Unclog your gutters to prevent costly water damage by cleaning them frequently or installing gutter guards to prevent the problem entirely. -- Gutter cleaning or gutter leaf guards 870-1982

4. Painting before water damage

Many homeowner wait 6-7 years to repaint their house. Meanwhile starting in year 2-5 the caulking around windows, corner boards, crown moulding, and front columns or trim allow water to get behind them and start to rot.  Don't wait to have cracks caulked and incur hundreds or thousands of dollars of wood repairs.  Call us for both annual and periodic inspection of your home to caulk, paint, repair rotted wood and windows. Painting and caulking costs less than 1% of the value of the home annually. While you are paying health, car, and life insurance your house is deteriorating and is the single largest investment you have. So let us help you manage it properly. Call HOA Partners at 870-1982.
