As a homeowner, you’re obliged to keep your property well-maintained. Besides, it’s good for your wallet. A house free of deferred maintenance sells more easily and is worth more. In our blog we share five jobs you can have done quickly and easily by an experienced professional.

  1. Pressure-wash your patio
    Over time, algae, moss and dirt build up. Your patio looks dirty and the tiles can even become slippery. By having your patio regularly pressure-washed with a high-pressure cleaner, you’ll create a fresh and safe outdoor space. A professional via Zoofy carries out the job quickly and efficiently—without damaging your beautiful patio tiles.

  2. Clean and paint your fascia boards
    Fascia boards are a key part of your home. They protect your roof structure from the elements and contribute to your house’s appearance. Regular cleaning and painting prevents wood rot and ensures a well-kept look. A painter or maintenance specialist will tackle the job professionally, using top-quality paints for a long-lasting finish.

  3. Replace your gutter
    A properly functioning gutter prevents leaks and damage to your façade. Over time, gutters can become clogged or worn out. An experienced professional will inspect, clean, and, if necessary, replace your gutter—helping you avoid water damage and keeping your home protected from the weather.

  4. Have your chimney swept
    A dirty chimney is a fire hazard and causes poor draft, so smoke doesn’t vent properly. That’s why it’s important to have your chimney swept at least once a year. A certified chimney sweep will perform the job quickly and thoroughly, so you can safely enjoy your fireplace or wood stove.

A professional will remove the affected wood and replace it with new or refurbished components—keeping your home in top condition.
