Most homeowners know the basics of home repairs that can be done by themselves to prepare for winter. This includes caulking around doors and installing programmable thermostats. What about the projects that are equally important, but not as easy?
It’s easy to save time and money when you rent the equipment that you need for essential winterizing projects. These four easy, but effective projects, which are provided by The Home Depot Tool Rental Center can increase the life expectancy of your home. They can all be completed without any seasonal tools or equipment.
* Power wash and seal outside structures. Your driveway and deck are protected from winter damage and fluctuating temperatures. Sealing your driveway will give it the extra protection it needs and make it last longer. Before applying any sealant, make sure to power wash all exterior structures.
* Aerate your lawn. Poke holes in the ground to increase water penetration and prevent harsher, colder temperatures from arriving. This allows nutrients to penetrate the soil deeper to reach your grass roots.
* Help eliminate or prevent the growth of mold in your home. Winter is when we need to seal our homes. Mold growth can occur when there is not enough air exchange and closed windows. Concrobium Mold Control makes it easy for DIYers to remove, prevent and control the growth of mold within their home. Renting a fogger is a great option for larger spaces such as crawl spaces, basements, and attics that are more susceptible to mold.
* Clean out your gutters. While gutters are designed to divert rainwater away exterior of the home’s exterior, they can also collect leaves or debris in the summer. Even though autumn leaves are beautiful, they can cause damage to the foundation of a home. For more information, please visit www.HomeDepotRents.comYou can also call or visit your local Home Depot.
