Indoor Maintenance
First and foremost, pay attention to the smaller details inside your home. Ensure all windows and doors are sturdy.

If you spot any signs of decay or rotting, make sure you replace them promptly. Contact us for support or consultation.
Lighting System
Good lighting goes a long way in creating a safe home environment. It’s best to install motion sensor lighting on your property, particularly near entrances to deter any unwanted visitors. LED lights with inbuilt solar power are also great and energy efficient options. If you’re unsure of how to go about the installation, we are just a call away.
Gutter Cleaning and Maintenance
Gutters are an important part of the roofing system, collecting water and ensuring it’s directed away from your home. A blocked gutter can cause water to pool and seep into your home, causing significant damage over time. Cleaning them regularly and ensuring they are in good working order is essential. Installing gutter guards can be a beneficial do-it-yourself project. If you find any signs of leakage, then reach out to us immediately.
Landscaping
Landscaping doesn’t just add beauty to the exterior of your home, it’s also a very important part of home security. The goal should be to create a clear line of sight so intruders cannot hide behind shrubs and trees. You should aim to keep your shrubbery and trees well-trimmed. Additionally, accent lights can illuminate darker areas, deterring potential intruders.
