Winter is coming! Do you know how to weatherproof your home? Taking the time to perform a few easy steps can significantly lower your energy bills and protect you from unwanted repairs in the winter season.   



Not sure where to start to weatherproof your home for winter? Here are 5 steps to make sure your house is ready to tackle the colder months.

1. Check Your Gutters – Get rid of any leaves and debris before colder months roll in, so they won’t create any ice dams on your roof. 
2. Inspect Your Fireplace – An annual inspection is a must! Things like debris, soot or even animal nests can build up in the chimney making it hazardous. 
3. Caulk Drafty Spaces – If you have gaps in siding, windows or doors, fill them with caulk. Use water resistant caulk on the outside of buildings. 
4. Have Your Roof Professionally Inspected – Winter can be harsh on your roof, so make sure it’s in a top-notch shape before the colder temperature and snow, ice and wind come. If your roof is leaking, missing shingles, or has damaged shingles, make an appointment with roofing repair specialists to diagnose the problem, fix any damaged areas, and get your roof back to functioning properly! 
5. Invest in Energy-Efficient Windows and Doors. Don’t sacrifice quality for affordability as it will pay off in the long run! Energy-efficient windows and doors will surely help reduce your power bills!
