Home Maintenance Tasks You May Not Have Considered - Part 1

Image
As a homeowner, there can be several chores required that you knew about like cleaning the gutters and mowing the lawn. There are a few chores, though, that didn't come in your "Homeowners Handbook," and if not accomplished could lead to problems down the road. At Gattermeir Davidson, we understand that you can't possibly know everything, especially when jumping in and buying your first home at the Lake of the Ozarks . That's why we've compiled a list of these obscure maintenance tasks you may never have considered! Test the Sump Pump Your sump pump is the piece of equipment that stands between you and a flooded basement - which obviously proves how invaluable it is. It's important to check your sump pump not just before you leave for a vacation, but also other times of the year as well. Some malfunctions could be as easy as a tangled hose - but cause detrimental results. Check Garage Door Balance When your garage door isn't properly ba...

Sometimes the items that you need to purge are not necessarily clutter, but items that don't fulfill a purpose in your home.

Ways To Visually Inspect a Roof

Image
When buying a home at the Lake of the Ozarks , there can be a lot of details to pay attention to while you're walking through. From the paint color to the running water, it's easy to get distracted and miss a few key features - like the roof. The roof will be one of the largest investments you have to make in a home, especially if it needs to be replaced, so it's better to know in advance if you'll need to replace it. While a roof inspection does come with your overall home inspection, you can save yourself some time if you know what to look for and know if you're willing to move forward on a project like that. Curling & Buckling If you notice that the shingles on the home you're looking at are curling or buckling, this could be a sign that it is old and needs to be replaced. Look for areas where the roof is in direct sunlight - do you see granules coming off? Either this roof will need to be replaced because of age, or it wasn't installed correctl...

How to Clean A Variety Of Flooring Types

Image
While Spring Cleaning may be far behind you, August 3rd is Clean Your Floors Day. It's a great chance to get down and perform a deep clean on all of your flooring types, from carpet and wood to tile and vinyl. Whether you're selling a Lake of the Ozarks home and you just want to get it spic and span, or you've just bought your home and are getting it ready to move in, there are several different ways to clean different flooring types. Cleaning Wood Floors Over time, wood floors can get a build up of  dirt, oil, and grime, and they aren't completely removed by a weekly dust mopping. When you want to really get a good, deep clean on your flooring, you can use a wood-cleaning product diluted according to the instructions. Soak a sponge in the mixture, and the wring it to almost dry. You don't want to soak your wood floors, as that will cause damage. Damp-mop your flooring, and be careful that you don't leave standing water anywhere. Rinse the floors with a ...
