Introduction
As we close out the year and head into the heart of winter, homeowners across the St. Louis area are thinking about protecting their homes from harsh weather and unexpected repair costs. At Exterior Building Solutions (EBS), we’re excited to introduce a proactive way to safeguard your investment: the Solutions Plus Protection Plan.
What Is the Solutions Plus Protection Plan?
The Solutions Plus Protection Plan is an annual exterior inspection and maintenance program designed to help homeowners stay ahead of costly repairs. This plan includes a comprehensive inspection of your home’s exterior systems, along with minor maintenance services that are often overlooked.
Josh Knese of Exterior Building Solutions explains:
“What this plan is, it’s gonna be an annual inspection of your property. It’s gonna include a comprehensive photo report of the condition of things like your roof, shingles, flashing systems, siding, windows, and the exterior portfolio of your home.”
What’s Included in the Annual Inspection
During your annual inspection, our trained professionals carefully evaluate:
- Roof shingles and roofing system integrity
- Flashing systems and exposed nail heads
- Valleys, eaves, and potential leak points
- Siding and windows
- Gutters and downspouts
- Dryer vents for lint buildup and fire hazards
In addition to inspection, we handle small but important maintenance tasks such as caulking flashings, sealing exposed nails, identifying nail pops, and clearing minor debris from gutters. These preventative steps help your home withstand winter conditions and extend the life of your exterior systems.
The Power of a Comprehensive Photo Report
One of the biggest advantages of the Solutions Plus Protection Plan is the detailed photo documentation provided after each inspection.
Josh highlights why this matters:
“Having this comprehensive photo report is a huge tool in your toolkit. You now have documented proof of the condition of your home prior to a storm.”
With insurance companies tightening claim requirements and increasingly denying claims due to alleged preexisting damage, this documentation gives homeowners a strong advantage when filing storm damage claims. It helps prove the condition of your home before a loss and can make the claims process smoother and faster.
Why This Matters for St. Louis Homeowners
The St. Louis area continues to experience frequent storms year after year. Insurance carriers are changing policies, limiting coverage, and placing more burden of proof on homeowners. The Solutions Plus Protection Plan helps you stay prepared, protected, and informed.
Key Takeaways

Conclusion
The Solutions Plus Protection Plan isn’t just about inspections—it’s about protecting your home, your finances, and your peace of mind. By taking a proactive approach, you can avoid surprises, strengthen insurance claims, and ensure your home is ready for whatever the weather brings.
