Great conditionGreat condition
We cleaned your gutters today and your home's exterior is in great shape. The gutters were full front to back and are now clear and flowing, and we added leaf guards to two downspouts at no charge. A handful of small things are worth a look below, none of them urgent.
Gutter cleaning completed today. Leaf guards added on two downspouts, complimentary.

A few things to consider
Loose roof shingle, above the front doorService Soon
Roof, front
A shingle had slid out of place and was sitting loose. We set it back and secured it today with roofing adhesive. To make it permanent we recommend nailing it down, which we can do at the same time as the windowsill work at no extra charge.
No charge with the windowsill repair
Cracked caulk, front half-round windowService Soon
Front elevation
The caulk around the large half-round window has cracked. It may be cosmetic, or water may be getting behind it. Re-caulking now is cheap insurance against a bigger problem.
$90 bundled with the window work, more as a standalone trip
Dryer vent needs clearingService Soon
Exterior vent
The dryer vent is restricted and not venting at its best. Clearing it lets the dryer run efficiently and keeps lint from building up.
$150
Protruding nails, upper deckService Soon
Upper deck
A few nails have worked their way up on the upper deck. They are a real catch and trip hazard underfoot. They pull out in minutes and we can handle them on the next visit.
No charge
Aging windowsill, west side by the chimneyMonitor
West elevation
The sill has exposed, weathered wood. It is not bad yet. Scraping it, filling with epoxy wood filler, and repainting seals it before the raw wood takes on water. Washing the aged window and clearing the paint overspray while we are there finishes it off.
$380 all in
Burned-out floodlight bulbMonitor
Exterior floodlight
One of the exterior floodlight bulbs is out and looks broken at the base. We can swap in two fresh bulbs while we are on site for the window.
$40 includes two bulbs
Invasive plants, west sideMonitor
West side and front bed
Invasive vines are wrapping the hibiscus and crowding a nearby tree, and there are invasive shrubs along the west side. Left alone they keep spreading. Your landscaper can fold this into their scope, or we can cut and remove it.

Minor dry rot, basement entry doorMonitor
Basement entry
There is a little soft wood at the base of the basement door. It is minor. A touch of wood filler and paint slows it for now. Worth keeping an eye on so it does not spread.
Touch up and monitor
