Upstate Helpers

Home siding generally lasts 10-15 years. You may need to hire a professional to fix or replace siding if you notice cracks, warps, blisters, bubbles, fungus, or mold. Repairs or replacement may also be warranted if you have severe fading or signs of internal moisture on walls. You can also upgrade your siding to improve insulation and reduce heating and cooling bills or to transition to a material that is easier to maintain.

Different types of driveways require different kinds of maintenance, but they all need upkeep to maximize their lifespan. Concrete and asphalt driveways need to be resealed every few years; brick driveways need weed removal, and most driveways need regular powerwashing to remove dirt, sand, oil, and other debris.

Concrete walks and patios provide an easy-to-use, non-slip surface for guests on your property. Concrete needs less maintenace than other materials and is extremely durable, and stamped concrete can boost curb appeal by imitating the appearance of other materials. With a concrete patio you can avoid the frequent staining and sealing that wood decks need, and installation is quick and affordable.

An outdoor deck adds function and value to your home. There are many styles of decks, including attached, wrap-around, detached, multi-tier, and a swimming pool or hot tub deck. Decking can be made of wood, composite materials, or PVC. Deck building can be complex depending on the materials and style, so it's a good idea to hire a professional.

Cleaning and washing your home is generally done with power washing. Power washing removes harmful elements like mold and mildew, increases curb appeal, and can reveal any necessary repairs to your siding. While you're cleaning, consider hiring help with yard cleaning and junk removal as well to fully refresh your exterior!

Fencing and gates add privacy and security, show clearly where the property line is, and provide children and pets a safe place to play. Fencing and gates can be made of wood, metal, vinyl, or composite materials. Fencing maintenance includes regular cleaning and repair of any damage, and, for wood fencing, regular restaining and resealing.
