Tips To Protect Your Home From Old Man Winter
As winter’s chill settles in, your home faces unique challenges that require special attention and care. From icy gutters to frost-damaged siding, Old Man Winter can wreak havoc on your home if left unchecked. But don’t worry – McKown Pressure Wash, Painting, and Contracting is here to help you prepare and protect your home against winter’s harsh elements.
Protecting Your Home: Why Winter Prep Matters
Even here in Hampton Roads Virginia, where we might not see heavy snowfall, winter brings numerous freezing nights and days that can impact your home.
Old Man Winter is knocking, and he’s not exactly the kind of houseguest you want—tracking in freezing temps, moisture, and storms like he owns the place. Don’t let him get too comfortable! Winterizing your home now can save you from costly repairs later, and that’s where our expertise comes in to send him packing.
Protect Your Home This Winter: Essential Services To Keep You Safe
Gutter Check
The first thing on our winter preparedness checklist is your gutters—your home’s unsung heroes, shielding it from winter’s worst. When leaves, sticks, and debris clog them, melting snow and ice have nowhere to go. This can lead to ice dams and water damage, which can severely impact your roof and walls.
A professional home inspection can keep your gutters clear and working as they should, saving you from headaches down the road.
Homeowner Tips:
- Keep an eye on your gutters from the safety of the ground—no need to wrestle with a ladder in the cold!
- Consider gutter guards to reduce debris buildup and make maintenance a breeze.
- Watch for signs of improper drainage, like water spilling over the sides during rain or melting snow.
