Sagging gutters, loose shingles and broken siding aren't just visually displeasing, they can cause damage inside your home. Moisture will get into the framework and interior spaces if your exterior is not kept up. Loose and unsealed window frames can also allow moisture into your home.
Broken, bent, clogged and sagging gutters can spill back into your framework possibly unseen causing rot and infestation due to accumulated moisture behind your siding. These type of leaks, if bad enough, could also come through your interior finishes showing up on your drywall and damaging your flooring.
Loose shingles can allow water into your attic and even make its way through your ceilings. These type of leaks can cause damage to your roofing system, drywall and flooring if unchecked. High winds, fallen tree limbs and hail can all cause damage to your roofing system.
Cracked or broken siding can allow moisture and infestations between your exterior and interior, and go unnoticed causing unseen damage to your framework. Unsealed window framing can cause similar damage. These issues can occur over time or if your windows are installed incorrectly.
The takeaway is that ignoring your exterior can add up over time. What could have been a simple replacement, turns into a much larger expense once damage is caused to your framework and interior spaces. Contractors such as JettaPro Construction offer free estimates so that you know where you stand with replacement costs. Don't wait until the costs add up with extensive damage that is often invisible until it is a major issue.
