National Home Improvement Month

There is more to Centerville home improvement than massive remodels. Think about all the little repairs and fixes that you have been neglecting. Home maintenance will add to a structure’s value and improve your daily life. Your water-damaged siding could result in real problems if you don’t fix it promptly. And that leaking roof? You could be saying hello to serious water damage in the future, not to mention mold and even structural problems.

Take a minute to see if your electrical system is up to code. Many older homes don’t have the ability to handle the demands of today’s households. Investing in a new electrical panel will make life in Centerville easier (tired of tripped circuits, anyone?) and may pay for itself in increased resale value.

Another improvement to work on is your plumbing system. Make sure water pressure is in the proper range. (Check with your water department for more info.) Excessively high water pressure can lead to damage with fixtures, pipes, and appliances. If your home has galvanized pipes, there is a solid chance they’re corroded and seriously stalling water flow. Consider replacement with copper or PEX pipes. A repiping project will decrease the likelihood of leaks and improve your water flow.
