Weatherboard Rejuvenation Project – Hawthorn

Completion of this weatherboard rejuvenation project in Hawthorn this week made the homeowners very happy! Weatherboards, as you a most likely know, require continual maintenance. Unlike a standard brick house, weatherboards hold a traditional charm. But they do come with the added chore of regular attendance to painting and repairing of rotted boards.

This project, as the photo’s show, involved various sections of exterior walls of this home in Hawthorn. Boards were removed, replaced and painted.

What a huge difference!

How Often Should I Clean Out My Roof Gutters?

There is no one good answer, every house is different and every house is in a different area…..

If your home has no trees around it chances are you may only require a gutter clean out once every 2-3 years to remove roof granule/dirt build up and debris from wind blown leaves.

If you have trees nearby or overhanging your roof you may need to clean them 2-4 times a year. Leaves drop in autumn, seeds/acorns from trees can fall at different times of the year, wind storms/hail can blow leaves off of trees at anytime. You need to be vigilant in maintaining your gutter cleaning, according to the environment you live in.

A good rule of thumb is, especially during storm season (September to February), a regular check of build up in your gutters is recommended. Heavy rain or prolonged rain can very quickly turn your un-cleaned gutters into a major cause of internal water damage.
