Filthy soffits
Attic ventilation is critical to the health of your house. It begins with soffit vents that inhale outside air—necessary to create an airflow that moves warm attic air out the roof vents. Once the air enters the soffit, it usually proceeds through an air chute or some other opening along the underside of the roof into the attic. The plastic air chutes (from home centers and building suppliers) in each rafter space keep the air path clear between the rafters and the roof sheathing. Clear soffits help to prevent moisture buildup and ultimately mold growth on your roof’s framing. Source: FamilyHandyman
Dirty, cracking paint
The paint looks dingy and starts to chip Another factor that could explicitly mean that your home is in need of remodeling is when the interior or exterior paint starts to become worn down, dirty, and is chipping. It only shows that external factors are already affecting your home negatively. These factors could be dirt and chemicals.
Aside from the fact that this circumstance means that your home is deteriorating already, it could also mean that you need to regard as well renovating and cleaning things inside your home.
Apply a fresh layer of paint to your walls on the inside and exterior of your home. Repaint the baseboards and crown molding if needed. Touch up your kitchen cabinets and other areas in the kitchen and bathrooms. Having freshly painted walls and baseboards can take years off the look of your home. If the white is starting to yellow, a nice coat of white paint will do wonders to updating the look of your home. Source: TheLendersNetwork
Termite infestation
Do you hear hollow sounds when you knock on the wooden parts of your home? Termites might be starting to destroy the wood. Call a pest control expert. To prevent termite infestation, have your home sprayed with solignum every four to six months, so termites won’t breed. Source: RealLiving
