Ready to protect your biggest investment this winter?

🏡 In the second half of our deep-dive conversation, Aaron Rogers from Pro Exteriors helps you get your Southern Delaware or Eastern Shore home ready for the cold and harsh weather. We move from the roof to the foundation, covering crucial exterior and interior areas to help you save money, prevent damage, and avoid costly winter headaches.

We discuss why fall is the perfect time for a home walk-around inspection and cover specific, actionable advice for:

Topics Covered:

• Siding Inspection: What to look for on your vinyl siding (broken, loose, or brown stains) and the danger of cold weather making vinyl brittle.

• Power Washing: Is fall or spring better for cleaning off that green algae?

• Exterior Plumbing (Hose Bibs & Outdoor Showers): The critical step to take before the first frost to prevent broken pipes, especially for beach houses and vacant homes near the coast.

• Deck Maintenance: Aaron shares the ideal season (and temperature) for staining and sealing pressure-treated lumber on your deck.

• HVAC & Air Filters: Why changing your air filter (1-inch vs. thicker filters) is the most important, low-cost maintenance you can do to keep your heat pump efficient and prevent system failure.

• Attic & Crawl Space Insulation: The importance of checking your R-value, securing floor joist insulation, and understanding soffit baffles and attic ventilation.

Don't wait until winter hits! A little fall maintenance goes a long way.

Welcome back to the You Ask, the Pros Answer Podcast! In this culmination of our top episode of all time, hosts Cole and Aaron Rogers continue their deep dive into the trades industry, tackling the toughest questions and dispelling common contractor misconceptions.

Last week, we discussed college vs. the trades. This week, we're talking about the reputation of roofers and other exterior contractors—are they all dishonest, no-shows, or worse? We discuss the evolution of the industry, particularly in the context of Southern Delaware (Sussex County, DE) and the Eastern Shore of Maryland, where the old "Slower Lower Delaware" adage is rapidly changing.

Key Topics in This Episode:

~Myth Busting: We address the stereotypes about roofers and contractors being drunks, dropouts, or simply dishonest.

~The Accountability Shift: How the internet, reviews, and social media have forced local contractors to be more accountable and reliable, reducing "no-show" and "walk-off" jobs.

~Vetting Your Contractor: Essential steps for homeowners to avoid hiring bad actors. Learn the importance of checking a contractor's license, insurance, and references from banks and suppliers—not just friends!

~Professionalism & Branding: The shift from unbranded pickup trucks to fully wrapped vehicles and professional uniforms. Why a strong brand indicates a reputable, professional contracting company.

~The Wall Street Factor: A fascinating look at the most significant indicator of the industry's newfound legitimacy—Private Equity and Hedge Funds buying up home improvement companies. Learn why a billion-dollar roofing company is now a reality and how this raises the bar for workmanship and consumer benefits.

Whether you're a homeowner facing an upcoming home project or someone considering a career in the trades, this episode will empower you with knowledge!

This episode is a continuation of our conversation on the evolution of the exterior contracting and roofing industry.

Aaron shares candid advice for high school students and parents navigating post-graduation choices.

In this special episode of the You Ask the Pros Answer Podcast, we’re stepping away from exterior home remodeling to address a critical issue right here in our community: food insecurity.

Did you know that in Sussex County, Delaware, over 32,050 individuals (13.3% of the population) were considered food insecure in 2022? That number is staggering, and we know we can make a difference—but we need your help!

This effort is part of our Community PRO Pledge to leave the Delmarva Peninsula and the Eastern Shore of Maryland stronger than we found it.

• The Pro Exteriors Community PRO Pledge: Our mission to empower, uplift, and support our local communities through philanthropy and collaboration.

In this episode of the You Ask, The PROs Answer Podcast, host Cole welcomes back Darrin Moore and Chris Maddox from SafeHouse Security to dive deeper into protecting your Delmarva home and small business. Located right here in the Delmarva area, SafeHouse offers expert security solutions across Sussex County, Delaware, the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and beyond. We talk tech, practical steps for fortifying your home, and security for commercial and agricultural properties.

The security trade is moving beyond the basics, embracing STEM principles. Cole, Darrin, and Chris nerd out over the latest advancements in security technology.

• Practical Gadgets: Chris highlights the practical side, discussing water detection sensors for homes and temperature monitoring for businesses, essential for preventing major product loss in cold storage units.
• Next-Level AI & Analytics: Darrin focuses on Artificial Intelligence (AI) built into modern camera systems.

While high-tech systems are great, your security begins with the structural integrity of your home. The SafeHouse team emphasizes how exterior features play a critical role in your overall security plan.

• Doors and Windows: The team discusses how to securely integrate alarm components with existing features, noting that drilling into a window frame can sometimes void its warranty. They also share simple, inexpensive ways to boost security for vulnerable entry points.

• Professional Consultation: The most important step for homeowners concerned about safety is to call a professional for a property evaluation. A professional can identify vulnerabilities and recommend a system that meets your needs without being overwhelming or overly expensive. Security systems don't have to be huge and elaborate to be effective.

SafeHouse provides security solutions for more than just residential properties—they partner with a wide range of organizations, as highlighted by a testimonial from the Preston Volunteer Fire Company regarding their cameras and access control systems.

• Commercial & Community Projects: SafeHouse works with small, medium, and large businesses, industrial facilities, local communities, police departments, and fire departments across the Delmarva region. These projects often involve building complex systems and relationships to keep both the organization and the community safe.
• Agricultural Industry Security: Given the high value of equipment and property in Sussex County and Eastern Shore of Maryland agriculture, SafeHouse offers unique solutions for farms.

For the homeowner who worries about their family's safety but is overwhelmed by options (suffering from "option paralysis"), the PROs offer simple, actionable advice:

1. Consult a Professional: Talk to one or two security companies. A professional evaluation can pinpoint your specific vulnerabilities and give you ideas on what’s available without pressure to buy.
2. Start Small, Meet Goals: A security system doesn't need to be huge. Focus on a minimal system that gives you peace of mind and meets your security goals. SafeHouse is committed to serving customers with recommendations, not being pushy about sales.
