Is your home prepared for another Michigan Winter?

The days are getting shorter now and it won’t be long until winter is once again upon us Michiganders. Winters in the Mitten can be harsh, so you should make any last-minute repairs to your home while you still can. Here are a few home improvement projects you should get done before that Winter wind starts blowing.

Roof replacement/repair

The roof is what keeps the outside outside and the inside inside. If you have roof problems, then you should get that taken care of before they get worse. A neglected roof can mean more damage to your home, leaks, and potential water damage to your home.  The water can even get into your basement, causing extensive water damage to your home.

Window replacement

Windows serve a similar purpose to a roof, so you need good ones in order to help keep your home warm and cozy during the winter months. New windows will help eliminate that draft and will take a nice chunk of change off of your monthly energy bills.

Gutter cleaning and installation

Many people put off cleaning gutters until Autumn. While you will certainly have to clean your gutters at least once or twice during the Fall months, it is a good idea to clean them out once during the Summer as well. This will help prevent clogging when the leaves really start coming down.

These simple maintenance improvements to your home will help keep your home safe during the winter months. Make sure you take care of them early and you can enjoy a warm cup of cocoa during the Winter instead of breaking up icicles on your gutters.
