Winter weather often results in gradual damage that homeowners can miss if they aren’t looking closely. This is particularly important to watch out for because homeowners policies do not provide coverage for wear and tear. It’s well worth it to spend a little time on home maintenance this spring, so that a small roof issue doesn’t turn into a big roof issue!
It’s almost time to spring ahead! Daylight Saving Time begins on March 12, 2017. Don’t forget to advance your clocks!
