Winters in Calgary are constantly long, chilly and snowy.
- The weather is brutal, however it’s necessary to prepare for the season.
I make sure to buy plenty of rock salt for the driveway. I hire someone to plow and have the snow shovels and ice scrapers handy. I’ve invested into a four-wheel-drive truck and have lots of gear to keep me warm! Last year, I thought I was ready for nasty weather. I failed to have the roof checked. It never occurred to me, and my roof wasn’t all that old. The combination of ice dams and the weight of the snow led to a collapse. I was relieved that no one was hurt… However, the failure of the roof caused extensive detriment to the home… Walls, ceilings, windows and furnishings were beyond reclaim. I wasn’t sure how to proceed. My homeowners insurance was a mess. Despite lots of PC calls and arguing, the insurance company refused to spend money out. I had to transport my family into a hotel. The cost was adding up. I really couldn’t afford to hire a general company, Heating, Ventilation, and A/C company, electrician and roofing company to make the necessary repairs, however plus, this all happened at the end of December, when the outside temperature was below chilly; Every afternoon that it snowed, the detriment to my condo worsened. I needed to make a decision absolutely quickly. Working with a real estate agent wasn’t an option, however a buyer would never qualify for a bank loan to buy my home. I also couldn’t wait several months to sell the house. The best solution was to contact Leger Home Buyers. This local Calguy company is family-owned and creates tailored solutions to the concerns of homeowners. They expedited the entire sale process and made everything simple and hassle-free. They bought my condo in its current condition without demanding an inspection or appraisal. They didn’t charge me any closing fees or commissions.
