Tiles & Shingles

In many areas, Spring and Summer can bring torrential amounts of rain. A few April showers can cause serious damage if your home isn’t prepared! Any loose or missing tiles/shingle should be repaired as soon as possible. It doesn’t take much water getting through to the foundation and timber underneath to cause rot and irreparable damage. You can rely on Google to commit to this DIY repair or, if the damage is more serious, call on Scene Clean for professional roof repairs.

A/C Repair or Installation

Pull out the Farmer’s Almanac and check the weather predictions for your area. Summer -in the Frederick, MD area- could push triple digits this year. If you have an air conditioner that isn’t cooling as it should, it’s time to see about repairing the unit you have or having a new installation before the weather turns too hot. Climate control can be the difference between life and death so don’t ignore this important item your checklist! You won’t be sorry.


Damaged or Missing Gutters

Gutters are part of your roofing system and many of the same structural damages that can result from missing tiles can also result for missing, clogged or damaged gutters. We have a recent client who has a hole in the side of her home due to her neighbor’s carelessness! The neighbor allowed their gutters to fill up, clog up, and force damage onto the side of our client’s home (True story!).
The slightest bit of moisture that seeps into the timber or foundation can cause mildew and rot that is either extremely expensive to repair or in some cases, not repairable at all. Leaves are also a major concern with gutters so take the time to thoroughly clean your gutters at least once a year. Sound like a job you’d rather avoid? We can take care of it for you!


Loose or Damaged Siding

Siding on the home has a purpose beyond being aesthetically pleasing. It aids in protecting your home’s structure and foundation from elements that may cause serious damage to the integrity of your home. Spring & Summer storms are infamous for damaging siding. It’s important to check for any damage following a storm.
Depending on the age of your home, you might be able to simply replace damaged siding but if your home has had the same siding for decades, you just might need to replace the entire perimeter. As costly as that may seem, it is far cheaper than letting your home get condemned because of rot and mildew that could have been avoided. Scene Clean can replace your siding to match the original or install your selection from an entire line of great styles & colors.
