There’s Still Time to Get Your Home Ready for Winter

Think you missed your chance to get a new roof, siding or gutters before winter? Not necessarily.

October is here, but there is still time to take care of those exterior projects before the cold weather settles in.

If your roof is showing its age, your siding is worn out or your gutters have seen better days, fall is a good time to get the process started.

A new roof before winter

Your roof takes a beating from Ohio weather. Missing or damaged shingles, curling, worn areas and other problems can leave your home vulnerable once the snow, ice and freezing temperatures arrive.

If you’ve been putting off a roof replacement, now is a good time to have it looked at.

Don’t forget the siding

New siding does more than give your house a fresh look. It also helps protect your home from wind, rain and changing temperatures.

With so many colors and styles available, replacing your siding can make a pretty big difference in the way your home looks—and how it holds up to Ohio weather.

    3. Take a Walk Around Your Siding

    Your home’s siding does more than determine how your house looks. It’s an important part of protecting your home from Ohio’s weather.

    As you walk around your house, look for cracked, warped, loose or damaged siding. Also pay attention to areas where moisture may have gotten behind the siding.

    And don’t forget the big picture.

    Has your siding become noticeably faded or worn over the years? If your home’s exterior is looking tired, fall can be a great time to start thinking about an update.

    Sometimes a new exterior can completely transform the look of a home.

    Gutters matter, too

    Your gutters have an important job: getting water away from your roof, foundation and home.

    If they’re sagging, pulling away, leaking or constantly overflowing, it may be time for an upgrade.

      The bottom line?

      You don’t have to wait until spring to improve your home’s exterior.

      There is still time to get your roof, siding and gutters taken care of before winter. The sooner you get started, the better chance you have of getting the work scheduled before the weather turns.
