Feazel CEO Provides Helpful Tips to Homeowners

In recent interviews Feazel CEO Ross Appeldorn provided some helpful tips to homeowners regarding residential home services and selecting qualified service providers for their homes in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus and Central Ohio.  Speaking with programs such as Cleveland Now and ONA Columbus, he discussed several important topics of interest to homeowners.

First up were tips for homeowners that would like to understand the best self-inspection methods to determine if their roof may be in need of any repairs or if other areas of exterior home maintenance may be required.  The interviewer pointed out that the need for a roof repair might not always be obvious to the homeowner if the home is not experiencing a leak.  Mr. Appeldorn agreed and stated that most roof failures are the result of inadequate roof ventilation and that, if possible, the homeowner should look inside the attic to make sure there is some daylight visible which would indicate that ventilation is occurring in the attic. 

As for other maintenance areas, he mentioned the importance of clean and clear gutters, downspouts and undergrounds as an important item to inspect.  And, he also noted that inspecting brick masonry for issues is important too.  Most homeowners think that a good masonry exterior does not need maintenance but, in fact, even masonry does require periodic sealing to keep moisture from penetrating. 

Finally, Mr. Appeldorn provided the following advice for selecting a qualified contractor for any residential home services project: 1) start by making sure the contractor is rated well by the Better Business Bureau including reviews by past customers; 2) verify that they are certified by the manufacturer of the products they will use on your home and; 3) confirm they are fully licensed
