HOW ROUTINE MAINTENANCE SAVES SPOKANE COUNTY HOMEOWNERS BIG!

Owning a home is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make, but without routine maintenance, your roof, gutters, siding, and fences can fall victim to costly damage. Many homeowners wait until they see a problem before acting, but by that time, the damage has already spread, and repairs can cost thousands.

At VGRC, LLC, we specialize in preventative exterior maintenance—helping Spokane County homeowners avoid expensive repairs by keeping their homes clean, clear, and well-maintained year-round.

👷‍♀️🍃 Kc, The Pine Needle Warrior and 🥷 I, The Roof Ninja, are here to show you why routine maintenance isn’t an expense—it’s an investment that saves you money and protects your home.

THE TRUE COST OF NEGLECTING YOUR HOME’S EXTERIOR

Many homeowners assume putting off maintenance saves money, but the reality is that small problems quickly turn into expensive repairs.

🚨 Clogged Gutters → Foundation Damage – Blocked gutters overflow, causing water to seep into your foundation and leading to cracks and basement flooding ($10,000+ in repairs).

🚨 Dirty Siding → Permanent Stains & Mold Growth – Algae and mildew weaken siding, leading to rot and structural issues ($5,000+ to replace).

🚨 Roof Debris → Shingle Damage & Leaks – A roof covered in pine needles and leaves will retain moisture, causing rotting shingles, mold, and interior leaks ($15,000+ for a new roof).

🚨 Moss Growth → Roof Replacement – Moss burrows under shingles, causing moisture damage and decay ($8,000+ for a roof repair).

🚨 Dirty Vinyl Fences → Replacement Costs – Mold and stains break down fencing material, forcing homeowners to replace sections instead of cleaning them ($3,000+ for new fencing).

💡 PRO TIP: Spending a little on routine maintenance NOW prevents you from spending thousands on major repairs later!

WHY SPOKANE COUNTY HOMES NEED ROUTINE EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE

Spokane’s weather and landscape create unique challenges for homeowners. Without regular maintenance, the environment can accelerate damage to your home’s exterior.

🌲 Pine Needles & Leaves Trap Moisture – Roofs, gutters, and siding collect organic debris, leading to moisture buildup and mold growth.

🌧️ Heavy Rain Causes Gutter Overflows – Blocked gutters lead to foundation issues, leaks, and interior water damage.

❄️ Snow & Ice Increase Roof Stress – Clogged gutters and debris cause ice dams, which push water under shingles, leading to leaks.

☀️ UV Exposure Fades & Weakens Materials – Sunlight breaks down paint, siding, and vinyl fencing faster if not properly cleaned.

💡 PRO TIP: Routine maintenance is even more critical for homes surrounded by trees, near water sources, or exposed to extreme seasonal weather.

💡 PRO TIP: Exterior maintenance is just as important as interior upkeep. A clean, well-maintained home lasts longer, stays healthier, and retains its value!

THE DANGERS OF DIY HOME MAINTENANCE

Many homeowners try to handle exterior cleaning themselves, but without the right equipment and expertise, DIY maintenance can lead to bigger issues.

🚫 Ladder Falls & Injuries – Over 160,000 ladder-related injuries occur every year due to unsafe cleaning attempts.

🚫 Roof Damage from Improper Cleaning – Using the wrong tools or pressure washing can damage shingles and force water under roofing materials.

🚫 Gutter Cleaning Mistakes – Many DIYers leave hidden blockages, leading to overflow and hidden water damage.

🚫 Chemical Damage to Siding & Fencing – Store-bought cleaners can bleach, stain, or weaken home exterior materials.

💡 PRO TIP: Hiring professionals ensures your home is cleaned safely, effectively, and without the risk of accidental damage.

FUN FACT: CLEAN HOMES SELL 10% FASTER & FOR HIGHER PRICES!

Did you know that a well-maintained home exterior can increase your property value by 5-10%? Clean siding, a moss-free roof, and a spotless fence make a home look newer, more appealing, and well-cared for.

💡 PRO TIP: If you're planning to sell your home, schedule a full exterior cleaning to maximize its value and appeal!
