Your Roof<\/strong><\/h3><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, Arial; font-size: 18px;\">A roof makes up about 50% of the exterior of a house, and it has a meaningful impact on the overall curb appeal. Problems such as a roof leak can create costly repairs. Regular roof inspections will help minimize problems and increase the longevity of your roof.<\/p><h3 style=\"font-family: Montserrat, Arial; line-height: 1.1; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 24px; font-style: normal;\"><strong>2.

Masonry &amp; Foundation<\/strong><\/h3><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, Arial; font-size: 18px;\">Always inspect your foundation, patios, and walkways, especially after periods of heavy rain and hail. When hail builds up against the walls of your home, moisture can seep into the pores of the foundation.<\/p><h3 style=\"font-family: Montserrat, Arial; line-height: 1.1; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 24px; font-style: normal;\"><strong>4.

Inspecting these two components will help you conserve money andmake your home greener.<\/p><h3 style=\"font-family: Montserrat, Arial; line-height: 1.1; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 24px; font-style: normal;\"><strong>5.

Wood decks and fences should be treated about every 4-6 years or sooner depending on how much exposure they receive from the elements such as the sun, rain, and hail.<\/p><h3 style=\"font-family: Montserrat, Arial; line-height: 1.1; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 24px; font-style: normal;\"><strong>FOR A FREE ESTIMATE CALL WESCO TODAY AT 281-359-1122<\/strong><\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are anything like the 70% of American homeowners that think their home is their biggest asset, maintaining proper upkeep is probably a big priority says a&nbsp;Kingwood Roofing Company.
