Keeping Your Home's Exterior in Top Shape: A Guide to Chimney Repair, UPVC, Gutters, Fascias, and Soffits
Hey roofers peeps! Let's talk about the often-overlooked, yet super important, elements of your home's exterior: chimneys, UPVC, gutters, fascias, and soffits. These components play a vital role in protecting your home from the elements and maintaining its curb appeal. Neglecting their upkeep can lead to costly repairs down the line.
Chimney Repair: Your chimney is your home's primary ventilation system. Regular inspections are crucial to identify cracks, leaks, or blockages that could lead to chimney fires or water damage. Look for signs of crumbling mortar, missing bricks, or staining on the interior walls. Professional chimney repair can prevent these issues from becoming major problems.
UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride): UPVC is a popular choice for fascias, soffits, and guttering due to its durability, low maintenance, and weather resistance. However, even UPVC needs occasional attention. Check for cracks, loose fittings, or discoloration. Repairing or replacing damaged UPVC components can prevent water damage and maintain the aesthetic appeal of your home.
Gutters, Fascias, and Soffits: These three work together to protect your home's exterior walls from water damage. Gutters collect rainwater, directing it away from your foundation. Fascias and soffits provide support for the roof and protect the eaves from the elements. Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential to prevent blockages and ensure proper water drainage. Look for signs of rot, damage, or leaks.
Why Regular Maintenance Matters:
Ignoring these areas can lead to:
Water damage: Leading to costly repairs to walls, ceilings, and even the structure of your home.
Pest infestations: Damaged areas can attract pests like rodents and insects.
Reduced curb appeal: A neglected exterior can significantly impact your home's aesthetic value.

ngl i’ve grown incredibly fond of the poison ivy that’s taken like a third of the house. like she’s ruining the gutters and shit but i love her
#she’s so pretty and i’m proud of her she’s grown so much this summer and she’s so big and her leaves are as big as my hands#and she’s strong enough for birds to hang out and she’s trying to take over my window and i love looking at her#and she brings so many bugs to my window#can’t remember if i ever said it but yes my sister did get a rash from it. on her face even bc she’s a dumbass. i didn’t though i’m#still immune which is rad#anyway poison ivy is so cool….. i think she’s misunderstood she’s really very beautiful and very cool who cares if some ppl get a rash#from her. and who cares abt the gutters. or the walls. or the roof. or the windows. or the ability to walk on the porch without touching#poison ivy. these things all pale in comparison to her beauty

there's a little bird building a nest under our building's protruding roof shingles and i am willing to die and/or kill for this potential bird family. i desperately need to figure out what species they are so i can offer top notch nutritious food
my friend told me "just wait until the chicks cheeping ruins your sleep" like no you don't understand i'm a coparent now, we're expecting!!
#look for me doing the midnight shift with the babies and horking up mealworms (i've eaten mealworms they're okay)#the nest builder chills in our roof gutter so i only ever see its front underside. not even its tail#it's sparrow-sized with a pale mono-coloured breast/belly. pretty stout beak. no noticeable markings. maybe some brown?#i have not heard it vocalize yet#ooh little mystery bird

I FINALLY get to have Christmas lights on my house this year, I'm excited
#i've been dying to put up christmas lights since we got our last house in 2016 but we're both afraid of ladders so it hasn't happened#it's only happening now b/c we're getting gutters installed on wednesday & they offered to put christmas lights up for us at the same time#i wanted to get the colorful ones but the store didn't have quite what i wanted so i ended up with just white#but oh well white lights will look really good and classy with my house lol#also pretty excited b/c the reason we're getting gutters is that after getting the basement floor tiles up we could see that the water was#coming in b/c we don't have gutters so there's a corner where the roof lines meet that just dumps rain right against the house#saw that after it rained pretty heavily last week. so anyway once we have gutters if we can see the basement is dry for a while#then we can proceed with putting floor in and we can start using our basement again & be done with this. holy crap#p

The amount of times in my life I have said "I think the problem is this for these reasons" and my father has not believed me, gotten an expert out who has said "Your daughter was right"...
I should not be shocked that it happened again. Yet here I am.
#Me: The leak is being caused by water backing up from the gutters into the roof#Dad: You don't know that.#Roof plumber: The leak is being caused by water backing up from the gutters into the roof.

I don’t know if you’ve seen it or not, but there’s this anti-Mormonism post going around and getting some attention on Tumblr lately. I don’t know if you’ve seen it, but I would like to know your thoughts if you have
grass found outdoors. fork found in home. car found in city. and all of these are more worthy of my time and attention than whatever unoriginal anti-mormon post is making the rounds this time
#no ill will towards anon i just. ive lived as a mormon for nine years now.#antimormons are out there. amd they add nothing to my life. so i dont engage.#i dont seek out anti mormon posts and blogs. i dont see it and i dont need to#ive read every essay and heard every talking point. and at the end of the day mormonism is my home#it's a fucked up home with a dysfunctional family but we love each other and are learning the skills to fix it#we dont need randos off the street pointing out that our rain gutters are rusty and theres a hole in the roof#WE KNOW and are working on fixing it ourselves

march 22nd 2024
it's hard to finish anything when. you have to pack up every time it rains... (it's been raining on and off all day).
#hey good news#its just the gutter and the roof left to get paint ready#every side of the van is done except the roof#so thats good#im realising tho that i as much as i am saying “it doesn't have to be perfect” it has to be perfect because i'm a perfectionist#yay#travel#travel blog#adventure#daily blog#my thoughts#traveling#thoughts#van life#van#bee and doddi#building doddi#building doddi 2024#doddi the van

cleaning out the gutter cause it poured rain outta them the other day and my mom was like we should get the man to help.
and the first thing he does is complain that the guys who clean our roof should’ve cleaned the gutters too (that was not a part that was discussed when my mom hired them) and my mom is getting mad like ‘it doesn’t matter now, we just have to get it done!’ and he continues like ‘well but he shoulda cleaned these, it’s part of his job’ and in my head im like shut the fuck UP go fucking do his job then if you think it’s wrong 🙄
#personally i think roof cleaning is separate from the gutters unless they were empty#like this bitches had not been cleaned out in a decade probably#i coulda done it all tbh i just need someone to spot me#but as soon as he started cleaning i’m like i’m outta here#i don’t wanna listen to a man complain

At Veracity Gutter And Roof Cleaning, LLC (VGRC, LLC), we're here to sprinkle a little humor and a lot of truth as we separate fact from fiction. Ready to get your clean on? Remember, WE FLAT LINE THE GUNK!
Myth 1: High Pressure is the Best Pressure
Think blasting your house at high pressure is the way to go? That's like thinking a bull in a china shop is just browsing. High pressure can cause more chaos than cleanliness, damaging siding, stripping paint, and welcoming water where it doesn't belong. At VGRC, LLC, we know it's about finesse, not force. We use just the right touch to leave your home sparkling, not scarred.
Myth 2: Any Cleaner Will Do
Grabbing any old cleaner under the sink for your house is like using dish soap as shampoo – not the best idea. Different surfaces require specific solutions to effectively and safely eliminate dirt, mold, and mildew. Our team at VGRC, LLC knows their stuff. We select the perfect cleaning solutions tailored to protect your home and eliminate mold and mildew. No one-size-fits-all here; just the right clean for your unique abode.
Myth 3: House Washing is a DIY Job
Strapping on a jet pack of DIY enthusiasm for house washing? Consider this: without the right knowledge and equipment, you might be in for a turbulent ride. House washing involves more than just water; it's about understanding how to treat different materials and tackle various stains. Leave the balancing act of ladders and hoses to us. With our professional touch, you won't risk falls or your home's integrity. DON'T RISK FALLS, GIVE US A CALL!
Myth 4: Washing Can Wait
Postponing a wash? That's like letting leftovers linger in your fridge – it won't get better with time. Dirt, grime, and biological growths are more than an eyesore; they're actively degrading your home's exterior. In Spokane County, WA, where nature throws us curveballs, maintaining your home with regular cleanings is not just about beauty; it's about preservation and pride.
