How do I maintain my home's exterior?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
Walk around your home twice a year checking for cracked siding, peeling paint, loose caulking, and damaged trim. Clean the exterior annually with a gentle pressure wash. Seal gaps around windows and doors. Inspect the foundation for cracks. Trim vegetation away from the house to prevent pest access and moisture damage.
Why It Matters
Your home's exterior is its first defense against weather, pests, and moisture. Regular maintenance prevents expensive structural repairs.
