Take Care of Things Now!

Would you rather paint your house or wait a couple years and replace all the wood, too (eaves, posts, facia)? How about your showers? Are they 10 years old and leaking? Are you interested in taking care of the mold now or would you rather having to end up replacing the walls around them? This may sound harsh, but it is a reality. These are questions based on real-life situations we have seen, as well.

Is your paint oxidized? Is there water getting inside your exterior walls? Let's hope they're not to that point. One way to prevent that is by painting them on a regular basis so that they are more water repellent. Here in Arizona it is recommended to paint the exterior of your home every 6 to 8 years, although most homes look pretty drab if you end up waiting that long.

On another note, taking a look at the economics and trends of the country,  it's looking like a given that inflation is going to hit sooner or later. Thinking in those terms too, you can get more work done for less now than you will be able to down the road.

So many things to think of, but it always pays to plan ahead and be pro-active in taking care of your home. We're here to help you with this and all your home improvement needs. Call now (480-367-1171) or email sales@travek.com for a FREE estimate.
