You have survived another Portland winter and March is now here. The weather is getting warmer and hopefully drier. You are again going outside and seeing neighbors you have barely seen for months. The yard looks a little beaten from the cold wet weather we have had. Now is a good time to assess what you should do to your home while the weather allows.
Take a close look at your home and see if you notice any problems that may be starting. They are hard to spot in the winter when the snow and rain beats down on Portland. Look up high starting with your roof and see if you notice moss or anything that does not look right. Moss can quickly damage your roof and it is in peak season now that it has had a lot of moisture all winter to start up. A simple roof cleaning or treatment may solve the problem. If you have a garden growing on the roof you may have serious issues.
Look at your gutters and make sure they are still attached like they should be. Do they have leaves, bushes or small trees coming out of them? This can cause serious problems if not addressed quickly. Usually a simple gutter cleaning will solve the problem but if they are not functioning properly you may need a professional to help out.
