Care and Maintenance of Roofs, Gutters and Siding
Roofs
Asphalt roofing will last about 15 years, so it’s important that it is properly maintained to get the most out of your roof.

Things to look for:

Emergency Preparedness
Emergency situations, or States of Emergency, can happen when you least expect it. The 2013 flooding in Southern Alberta is proof that all citizens need to be prepared for any type of emergency situation.

The main thing is to have an emergency preparedness kit ready.Included in this kit should be enough resources to last at least 72 hours:
~ 4 litres of water per person for 3 days. (Note that the water from the toilet tank and hot water tank can be utilized.)

Part of job should be helping clients, and a big part of home ownership, is maintenance and repair. In this short video, I'll show how easy stucco is to repair.
