Top Tips To Ensure A Healthy Home This Season

Guidelines for preparing the house

(Monday, October 25, 2004) - House Doctors and House Medic make house calls - exclusively. The professional handyman service, which specializes in home repair and maintenance jobs around the home, says now is the time to repair summer damage and prepare for winter.

"Summer wear and tear needs to be fixed before winter weather sets in," says Steven Cohen, president of H.D. Franchising Systems, LLC. "A split or broken board on the deck is unsafe, as well as unattractive, and broken gutters can lead to even more damage from the additional weight of fall leaves or heavy seasonal rain."

Cohen advises completing the following tasks as well:

Windows and doors: seal cracks with weatherproof caulking. Be sure windows and doors have an airtight seal when they are closed. If not, apply weather stripping.
Pipes: Insulate pipes that are exposed to seasonal temperature changes.
Foundation: Check and prepare areas that may puddle in heavy precipitation.
Exterior: Seal any exterior cracks.
"All of these tasks are important to preserving one's biggest investment: the home," Cohen said. "But in today's busy world, it's tough to find the time to do these things. Hiring a professional is an excellent option."

House Doctors and House Medic employ skilled handymen who provide home repair and maintenance services. All employees are bonded and work is guaranteed for one full year. "Our professionals can do everything quickly and efficiently; often jobs are completed that same day," says Cohen. "And when you use a House Doctors Handyman around your home, you don't need to call in several craftsmen to do the odd jobs."
