Preparing Your Home for Colder Weather in the Midwest

As the leaves begin to change and we welcome in cool, crisp air, it is essential that you take a little bit of time out of your cozy evenings and weekends to prepare your home for winter in the Midwest. Keeping a safe, warm, and comfortable environment requires a bit of planning, and we can help. As a leading Chicago-area home renovation company, we have compiled a guide to assist you in ensuring that your property is well-protected throughout this seasonal change.

Get a Roof Inspection

Proper roof maintenance is one of the most important things you can do to ensure the safety of your home, and this is particularly important as winter approaches. Thunderstorms are a frequent occurrence during the autumn and winter months in the Midwest and the heavy rain, high winds, and snowstorms that often accompany such severe weather events can wreak havoc on your roofing system, leading to leaks and water damage. The skilled roofers at Canga Roofing would be happy to provide you with a comprehensive roof inspection and swift, efficient roof repairs to help you get your roof into tip-top shape for winter. Our repair services include:

  • Speedy and Reliable Service
  • Affordable Pricing
  • A 5- Year Workmanship Warranty

Clean Your Gutters

Fall leaves are beautiful but can quickly clog your gutters which can lead to costly and troublesome water damage. Be sure to regularly clean your gutters during the fall months and to install gutter guards. If you need help with gutter cleaning, gutter guard installation, or gutter replacement, the gutter specialists at Canga Roofing are at your service.

Refresh Your Siding

Fall and winter storms can be tough on your siding. Be sure to invest in siding repair or replacement services to ensure that your home is well-protected once the cold weather rolls in.

Seal Your Windows and Doors

Ensuring that your windows and doors are functional and properly sealed will help keep your home comfortable and energy efficient throughout the winter and beyond. Be sure to add caulking and weather-stripping and consider investing in energy-efficient products this season.

Routine HVAC Maintenance

Before it gets bitterly cold out there, you should have your HVAC system checked out. A well-maintained HVAC system is key to a cozy and hassle-free winter.

Store Outdoor Furniture

If you have outdoor furniture, be sure to clean it and store it indoors before the temperatures drop. This will help prevent damage from cold weather and storms.
