these cracks were made for widening... and that's just what they'll do

Did you know that now - when temperatures stay in the mid 80s during the day and don't drop below 60 at night - is the perfect time to seal your driveways and walkways? They should be sealed every three years or so, otherwise cracks like in this picture will widen in the winter. The cracks fill with water and continually freeze and thaw, freeze and thaw, until more than just sealing will be needed to make repairs. And those repairs can get VERY costly.  So stay ahead of the game and get your driveway sealed before the fall!

Summertime grilling is always fun but if you have vinyl siding, those steaks and burgers need to be cooked to perfection at least 10 FEET from your siding. Heat damage to vinyl siding caused by grills is something we see A LOT during home inspections. And the scary part is that the damaged siding is minor compared to the real danger - burning down the house.  Thousands of home fires are started every year because grills are too close to vinyl siding. Please stay safe and happy grilling!
