A simple exterior maintenance plan for coastal homes
A small amount of maintenance prevents big repair bills:
- inspect roof and flashing seasonally (especially after storms)
- keep gutters and drains clear
- rinse exterior metals and railings periodically
- touch up paint chips before they spread
- reseal joints and caulking as needed
- watch for early signs of water intrusion (stains, soft spots)
Think of it like taking care of a car: routine checkups keep it reliable.
