The first job I needed done on the house at the start of spring was a roof repair.
Over winter, I’d noticed there were leaks, and this wasn’t a good sign.
So, I contracted our local roofing company about this issue and booked them for spring repair. It’s better to call early so you can be among the first people once the snow and ice thaws. The roofer had several people in front of me, so I had to wait until mid-spring. By this time, the leak was getting worse since it was raining so much. It was also unusually warm for spring, which was also concerning. So, I called a local HVAC company to book for spring maintenance. The roofers came first to inspect and repair my leaking roof. I was away from the house when they arrived, but they had easy access. When I got back, the roofers mentioned there was a beehive near the outdoor HVAC. They were passing near the cooling unit and had to run for dear life. Well, that was concerning since I was having a HVAC expert come to inspect the same outdoor HVAC the next day. I had to think fast on how to remove the beehive. I chose to call the HVAC company and move my appointment to a few days later. I explained there was a beehive near the outdoor HVAC and I had to hire bee removal services. The HVAC company representative was understanding and said she’d keep a slot open for me when I was ready for the HVAC expert to come to my home. Thankfully, the roofers had discovered the hive near the outdoor HVAC early.
