4 Simple Tasks to Do Before Winter
One weekend of exterior checks - walls, gutters and roof, trees, and handrails - before winter does its damage.
During the winter months, most of us stop inspecting the outside of our homes - do not let those problem areas build up. Take a weekend and do these four easy tasks before winter comes in full force.
1. Inspect your home's exterior walls
Look for possible weather-related damage, like cracks and anything loose.
2. Maintain your gutters and inspect the roof
Remove all debris from your gutters to prevent damage to the entire house - gutter guards will keep it out for good - and check the roof for any loose shingles.
3. Trim your trees and remove dead branches
Rough winter weather can cause weak trees or branches to break and damage your home, car, or power lines. Keep an eye out for hazardous signs and call a professional tree service.
4. Maintain your steps and handrails
Repair broken stairs and banisters to prevent the falls and injuries that slippery ice can cause.
