Winters Biggest Threat to Your Home...

While you can't change the weather, you can minimize some of winter's biggest threats to your home. Heavy snow accumulation can pose a threat to your home-- both as it builds up and as it melts.

The three most important things to do are:

1.      Remove snow from basement stairwells, window wells and all walls. Melting snow can lead to water damage and moisture intrusion.

2.      Keep your attic well ventilated to maintain a temperature close to that of the outdoors to minimize the risk of ice dams forming. A warm attic melts snow on the roof, causing water to run down and refreeze at the roof's edge, where it's much cooler. If ice builds up and blocks water from draining, water is forced under the roof covering and into your attic or down the inside walls of your house.

3.      Watch for snow accumulation on the leeward (downwind) side of a higher-level roof, where blowing snow will collect. For safe removal that won't endanger you or damage your roof, consult a roofing contractor for a referral.

 

Benefits of Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding helps create distinctive style and unique character, while providing energy efficiency for any home allowing homeowners to express their individual style. Vinyl siding also has an important job, protecting the exterior of your house. Vinyl siding stands up to high winds and resists moisture.  Vinyl siding never needs painting allowing for a simple wash with a soft cloth and garden hose. Vinyl siding adds value to a home not only resale value but saves cost using far less resources to maintain the home.
