Front Door — Roofing And Siding in Toledo, OH

A lot of people spend time and money making the interior of their home look perfect so they can make a great first impression when guests come over. But one thing many people forget about is the front door. As your guests wait for you to answer the door, the front door is the first part of your home they examine close-up. A lot of people spend time and money making the interior of their home look perfect so they can make a great first impression when guests come over. But one thing many people forget about is the front door. As your guests wait for you to answer the door, the front door is the first part of your home they examine close-up.

Be sure your front door says the right thing about you and your home. Here are three reasons why it may be time for you to replace your front door.

Age

Old doors may have character, but most of them aren’t the best defenders against everyday weather elements. Older doors may no longer seal correctly when shut and this can lead to water seeping into your home and causing moisture damage to your interior and structure.

Damage

It’s difficult to go green if your front door is damaged. Cracks and chips can let outside air seep in and lead to higher energy bills. Moisture in damaged areas can also cause the wood to rot and even allow mold to grow.

Looks

Even a minor ding or scratch can be an eyesore on any front door. If there’s no way to recover its natural beauty, then this is a great opportunity to replace it with one that enhances your home’s curb appeal and matches your personality.

When you visit the showroom at Ohio Roofing & Siding, you’ll see that we have a wide selection of front door styles and colors to fit your unique taste. Whether you’re looking for a solid wood door or one with a decorative window, you’ll find what you’re looking for at Ohio Roofing & Siding.

DIY CLEANING SOLUTIONS FOR VINYL SIDING

By Admin • 19 Jan, 2018

Home builders rely on vinyl siding because of its versatility, durability and cost.


While vinyl siding is weather resilient, it does need to be cleaned occasionally to prevent mold and mildew growth. Here are some cleaning solutions you can prepare yourself:

  • Use a 70-30 ratio of water to vinegar. This mixture will remove light mold and erase mildew stains.
  • If you need a stronger solution, mix 1/3 of a cup of powdered laundry detergent, 2/3 of a cup of powdered household cleaner, one quarter of laundry bleach and a gallon of water. Beware, this solution may kill some of the landscaping near your home.
  • To preserve your landscaping, mix one cup of oxygen bleach with a gallon of water.
  • Simple Green is also environmentally friendly and will clean vinyl siding, stucco, and painted wood.

To apply these solutions, simply use a soft cloth or a soft-bristle brush. You can also use a power washer, but some vinyl siding manufacturers advise against this practice.


For more information about vinyl siding or to have it installed on your home, contact Ohio Roofing and Siding at 419-531-4605  or send us a message.
