The GREAT news is that **_there are ways to _****_improve your home’s exterior and energy savings_****_, even if your job was compromised by COVID-19. _** ##### **1. Evaluate What’s Most Important** If you have several issues with your exterior but don’t want to get them all done at once due to cost, **consider the projects that you should make a priority**. These guidelines and **warning signs** can help: * If your **ROOF** is leaking, cold during the summer/hot during the winter, you have brown or yellow ceiling stains, or you find mold in your attic, roof replacement should be your first priority.  * If you have very old vinyl **SIDING** that is rotting and peeling away from your home, this is beyond a cosmetic or curb appeal issue. Underperforming vinyl siding can create major moisture problems and downgrade performance. Choose to have your vinyl siding replaced first. * If you have old **WINDOWS** that are rotting at the frames, won’t stay open/closed, or you have fog between the glass, choose to have your windows replaced. All of these signs can point to lost energy and high utility bills. ##### **2.
