*Mildew- Removing mildew from the home, will keep the exterior and interior from major damage in the long run. Start by pressure washing the exterior and letting it dry. Next add a mildew and mold proof painting.
*Trimming- Remove old and termite invested wood with low-maintenance, all-weather PVC millwork, which resists insects, rot and termites.
*Window in the bathroom- Upgrade the main or master bathroom with a privacy window that will allow sunlight to come in the bathroom. It is a great focal point when entering.
*Columns- Replacing the exterior columns with fiberglass, which are low maintenance and need no painting every year, and will look great to the eyes.
