Spring Siding Installation

With the start of spring coming in about a month, it's time to start thinking about the exterior of your home in terms of protection and appearance.

A major part of your home's exterior is its siding. The siding protects your home from the elements and adds insulation. Siding can also add major curb appeal to your home, depending on the style and color you choose. As the weather gets warmer and people start hitting the sidewalks and backyards again, will you be content with something that merely protects your home, or do you also want something that looks good?

Total Home Exteriors can install siding that protects and visually appeals. Call today at (612) 338-7795 and ask about our Andover MN siding installation services.

Roof Tips for Winter

Spring is coming around the corner, but for the next month or two, winter weather will continue to strike -- especially in Minnesota, where winter packs more of a punch than in other areas. The winter can bring about big problems with your roof if you don't recognize the signs quickly. Here are a few.

  • Leaks - Leaks can undermine the structural integrity of your roof if not dealt with. To prevent leaks, keep your drains and gutters clear of leaves, dirt and trash.
  • Hail - Hail consists of small balls of ice that can do major damage to your roof. There isn't much you can do in the way of prevention here, but you can minimize the damage by using roofing materials that are more protective.
  • Ventilation - If your attic isn't ventilating well, snow can melt on your roof and refreeze, causing ice dams to form, which can get under your shingles and cause leaking inside your home.
Are you keeping out for these problems? Good! If not, now's the time to start. And if you have problems with your roof, call the professionals at Total Home Exteriors to take care of it. Our number is (612) 388-7795.

The Forgotten Roof

The roof: it's a crucial part of the home, but unfortunately, it's often the most neglected. Because your roof sits on top of your home and you don't take a good, close look at it very often, it's easy to forget that parts of it can wear or become damaged. Just like any other area on your house, the roof needs some occasional attention to make sure its holding up okay.
