Here Are Some Ways For Homeowners To Prepare For Winter In Cheyenne
It's cold and snowing outside, but have you really prepared the outside of your home for potential damage to it this year? Today on the Top 5 at 7:45, I'll highlight 5 things that homeowners in Cheyenne should know about as Old Man Winter makes his way through.
- Impact Rated Roof - This will help to aid in protection of your roof during those nasty hail and ice storms.
- Check Downspouts and Gutters - Clean the leaves out of those gutters as they will freeze and could cause damage.
- Overhanging Trees - Trim those tree branches back, especially the dead ones as heavy snow and ice can break them, causing damage to your roof and gutters.
- Roof Flashing - Inspect the flashing around your roof for leaks and breakage and ensure that they are properly sealed to keep the water out.
- Visual Roof Inspection - Look for maintenance issues or potentials that could make your roof more susceptible to hail or wind damage.
