Evaluating Homes: Termite Damage Posted By : Roberto Bell

Thinking About Renovation? Think Smart.
The idea of renovating your home to improve the price it will fetch on the real estate market is an appealing thought. The question that any home owners should be asking themselves is “what does my home NEED in order to fetch a higher price?” Many home owners will overlook obvious things that their home needs in favor of cosmetic fixes or upgrades that magazines and TV say will increase their asking price. The thing that they forget is that without the basics the home will not impress people on a base level. Sure it may have some impressive features but without the daily necessities, what is the point?

Before you set about adding un-necessary extras to a home take the time to make sure that the everyday things are taken care of. Now, these can be pretty simple things like working fixtures and faucets, updated appliances and clean floors. There is also the fact that the interior workings of the home should be checked and fixed if they are in need of it. There is little sense in a home with a brand new solarium and hot tub if the plumbing system is in disrepair and there is mold growing in and around the pipes.

So it stands to reason that any home owner should go over their home with a fine tooth comb and find those little everyday things that could use an upgrade or a fix before jumping into major renovations with both feet. you may find yourself making renovations only to have to go back at the end to repair something that should have been fixed before the building started. There is also the chance that the reno’s that you make could cause undue stress and wear on the existing home systems that can be time consuming and expensive to fix.

Once the home is in tip-top condition and everything works as it should then its time to consider making those price generating improvements. The buyers will feel much better looking at a home with an updated electrical system, a current plumbing system and a new roof than a home with a few nifty extras and a host of possible problems.

Safety In The Backyard
After a long winter it is always a good idea to check the wooden areas of your yard for safety. Areas like the porch or deck, sheds and garages. Over the winter months, especially if you live in an area where snow and ice is prevalent you should always check the wooden areas of your yard for weather damage. Luckily for us down in Arizona this is not much of an issue however there can be other issues in more temperate areas like bugs and excessive drying out of wood and subsequent splintering and dry rot. Either way, in protecting your family and investment take the time to check everything out to make sure it is safe for the coming summer season.

Start by looking at the integrity of the structure in question. You will have to look for different things depending on the area you live in as stated above. In dry climates wood dries out quickly in the blazing Arizona sun and can shrink and split. This can greatly weaken wooden structures and lead to dangerous situations when the area is in use. Conversely a situation where wood is unprotected against the elements, in particular large amounts of moisture; wood can start to soften and eventually rot. No only is this unattractive but it greatly weakens the wood.

This is the kind of thing that is good to check on the actual home as well. Areas where wood contacts the ground can provide a home for bugs and also moisture can easily get drawn up into the wood if the wood is not properly sealed and protected. This is also true for all wooden watershed areas on your homes such as the roof, the eaves, awnings, sills, roof joints and any other wood areas that are exposed to moisture. It’s important to check these areas each year, especially the roof areas. If the roof starts to leak there could be any number of problems that utilize such a leak as a springboard to larger more complex problems like mold or deterioration of walls and ceilings. The summer is the perfect time to take care of these things so that you are prepared when the colder weather comes around. Or, in Arizona when it drops below 80 degrees BRRRRR!
