BLOG Seasonal Renovation Tips: Preparing Your Home for Weather Changes Nov 02, 2024

With the seasons changing, it's the perfect time to start thinking about preparing your home for weather changes. As a valued customer of Compass Contracting LLC, we want to provide you with some seasonal renovation tips to ensure your home is ready for whatever Mother Nature has in store.

1. Inspect and repair your roof: Before the rainy season hits, it's important to inspect your roof for any damage or loose shingles. Small issues can quickly turn into big problems if left unattended. Contact Compass Contracting LLC to schedule a roof inspection and make any necessary repairs before the weather takes a turn for the worse.

2. Check your gutters and downspouts: Clogged gutters can lead to water damage and flooding, especially during heavy rains. Make sure to clean out your gutters and downspouts regularly to prevent any blockages. Consider installing gutter guards to help keep debris out and water flowing smoothly.

3. Seal windows and doors: As the temperatures drop, drafts can make your home feel chilly and cause your energy bills to soar. Check for any gaps around windows and doors, and seal them with weather stripping or caulk. This simple step can help improve the energy efficiency of your home and keep you cozy all winter long.

4. Insulate your attic: Proper attic insulation can help regulate the temperature in your home and reduce your heating and cooling costs. If your attic is lacking insulation or if it's damaged, consider hiring Compass Contracting LLC to install new insulation before the colder months arrive.

5. Update your heating and cooling systems: Before you find yourself in the middle of a heatwave or a cold snap, it's a good idea to have your HVAC system checked by a professional. Regular maintenance can help ensure that your system is working efficiently and effectively when you need it most.

6. Prepare your outdoor spaces: As the weather changes, it's important to prepare your outdoor spaces for the elements. Clean and store outdoor furniture, cover or bring in delicate plants, and secure any loose items that could become projectiles in a storm.

By following these seasonal renovation tips, you can help protect your home from weather changes and ensure that it remains comfortable and safe throughout the year.
