Posted on January 22, 2020

The winter brings cold temps and more extreme weather conditions, which can lead to some serious damage to your home. Several problems tend to arise over the winter months, and it is important that you stay on top of them. The most common issues we see arise are damage done to roofs, foundations and pipes. If you suspect any damage due to the winter weather conditions, keep reading to find out how to tackle these issues from exterior house painter experts.

Roof Damage

This is most likely where the damage will occur on your home throughout the winter months. Snow that melts on the roof, runs to the edges, and refreezes leads to leaks and damage done to the shingles. Wind, hail and other winter weather conditions can tear off the shingles. If you have leaks in your roof you will need to fix them promptly in order to avoid needing to completely replace your roof.

If you discover any of the above on your roof, you can place a large tarp over the area that is damaged until you are ready to get it repaired. You will also want to remove the snow and ice as soon as possible before it causes even more issues.

Siding

Hail or falling tree limbs tend to be the top two causes of damage to a home’s siding. Any damage to the siding of your home needs to be quickly repaired to avoid any further damage to your home.

Gutter Damage

Heavy ice buildup on the edge of roof will pull your gutters apart. They can separate from the roof line and they will ultimately need to be replaced. You can try and prevent this by cleaning your gutters before the start of winter. Heating mechanisms are sold that will help melt ice throughout the winter months.

Exterior of the home

Hail, wind, snow, ice, etc. can all take a toll on the exterior of your house. It tends to cause damage to the paint. Therefore this leaves your home more exposed to moisture which will lead to rot, and you will end up needing even more repairs. Consider repainting your home before the winter months come to try and help avoid this.
