Winter stresses out everything that protects you from the elements – your roof, walls, siding, windows and everything else that makes up your home. The roof is at the highest risk of enduring long-term damage and shortened lifespans if winter damage is left unattended. Learn more about it in today’s post from Shine Construction Inc.
Gutters play a crucial role in protecting your home from water damage. Their primary function is to channel water away from your foundation and safeguard your landscaping, siding and roof. However, without proper maintenance and installation, gutters can fail prematurely. Today’s post from gutter and siding contractor Shine Construction Inc. explains the possible reasons why this happens.
As temperatures drop, the dynamics of heat and moisture within your attic and living space change significantly. During winter, warm air from your heating system rises and accumulates in your attic. Good airflow is necessary to eliminate excess heat and moisture from the upper areas of your home.
Gutters direct rainwater away from your home’s foundation, walls and landscape. Keeping them clean and functional is essential for protecting your property from water damage. Neglecting your gutters can lead to serious issues, including roof leaks, pest infestations, basement flooding and soil erosion.
When planning a siding replacement project, one of the initial questions that arise is, “How much siding do I need?” It may seem simple, but it requires careful thought. You must consider various factors to ensure your home looks its best while remaining protected against harsh outdoor elements.
