National Home Improvement Month

A home improvement project doesn’t mean you have to remodel your entire home in Chagrin Falls. How about making those repairs, fixes, and upgrades that you’ve been procrastinating? Keeping your home maintained can add to its value and improve your day-to-day life. Your water-damaged siding could result in real problems if you don’t fix it promptly. And that roof leak? You might be confronted with serious water damage down the road, not to mention mold and even structural problems.

You should also make sure your electrical system is up to code. Many older homes don’t have the ability to handle the demands of the modern household. Installing an upgrading electrical panel can make your life easier while increasing your Chagrin Falls home’s value.

Your plumbing system is another place where you should consider doing repairs. Ensure that your water pressure is within the proper range. (Check with your water department for more info.) Appliances, pipes, and fixtures can all be damaged by high water pressure. If you have galvanized pipes, there is a solid chance they are corroded and seriously impeding water flow. Try replacing them with copper or PEX piping. Both of them have their ups and downs, so be sure to research your options before your purchase. Repiping will improve your water flow and decrease water leaks.
