As we slowly transition from fall to winter, many homeowners tackle winterization, which is the process of preparing for the cold season. Given the anticipated extreme weather, are you ready to make the necessary preparations? Homecraft® Inc. will be happy to help, so we have listed three main areas that need careful preparations:
Windows
Your windows protect your home from various elements. They do this while providing enough light and ventilation for you to use, so make sure you keep them in tip-top shape. Check the window’s frame and glass components and familiarize yourself with its energy efficiency. If your windows are old and drafty, you may need to forgo repairs in favor of quality replacement windows in Wilmington, DE.
Doors
Another part of your home that you should check is your doors. How are your entry or patio doors holding up? Some people opt for caulking or weatherstripping to increase the insulation of their doors. That said, this solution is temporary, especially if your doors are old or broken. At Homecraft®, we install durable and energy-efficient doors that can withstand any kind of weather. Installing a storm door would also improve your home performance and energy efficiency this winter.
Roofing
Without a doubt, your roof is the first line of defense in your household. What you can do first is to schedule a professional inspection. If your local roofers see any damage, then sign up for fine-tuning or repair. These steps will ensure the stability of your roof and the structural integrity of your home. If you need more than just a tune-up, don’t hesitate to get a roof replacement. The great thing about it is that it saves you on frequent repairs and keeps your home comfortable.
