April 18 2008 St. Louis, MO: Maintain The Value Of Your Home During The Credit Crunch

Cracked and buckled walls, sinking foundations and uneven floors rack up costly bills and significantly lower the value of the home.”

Manifesting themselves as doors that stick, windows that are not square, bricks that lean away from garage doors or sagging roofs, these issues may appear to be no more than wear and tear but could actually be masking problems with the structure of the house. As the economy slows down and newspaper headlines scream of impending recession, it’s all too tempting to turn a blind eye to these imagined non-essential repairs than can be put off for a month or two.
