in the fall and spring. Inspect your roof, windows, doors, gutters, and foundation so you can take care of any necessary repairs first. In regions like the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes, experts also recommend ventilation upgrades, attic air-sealing, and installing ice and water shield. Roof restoration treatments restore flexibility to aging asphalt shingles so they&#8217;re less likely to crack.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

It&#8217;s one of the best ways to prevent indoor air from escaping into the attic or outside air from getting in.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400; margin-bottom: 5px;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Improve drainage around your foundation:<\/strong> Make sure the soil slopes away from your home and add downspout extensions so runoff doesn&#8217;t pool up around the footings. Saturated soil can freeze, expand, and heave, which puts extra pressure on the foundation.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400; margin-bottom: 5px;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Inspect and seal windows and doors:<\/strong> Replace worn weatherstripping, recaulk gaps around exterior frames, and repair damaged seals so cold air and moisture can&#8217;t get in. If you use storm windows, make sure they fit tightly and drain properly.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s much easier to handle almost all of these tasks before the temperature drops and snowstorms roll in. Trying to deal with them in the middle of a deep freeze or blizzard is no fun for you, and contractors almost always charge more for service calls because the conditions are harder to work in.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7fd1f044 elementor-widget-divider--view-line_icon elementor-view-default elementor-widget-divider--element-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"7fd1f044\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon elementor-divider__element\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" id=\"Layer_1\" viewBox=\"0 0 87.16 96.25\"><path d=\"M57.11,53.38s-6.49-2.01-9.07-6.01c0,0,.99,2.3,2.51,3.7,1.51,1.4,5.22,3.39,5.22,3.39,0,0,1.15,10.62,8.54,21.08-2.14-3.86-6.49-12.73-7.2-22.15Z\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><path d=\"M48.04,13.91c-20.86,0-37.78,16.91-37.78,37.78h0,0c.5,0,1,0,1.49,0h.75c4.79-.03,9.11-.43,13.01-1.09v-2.02c0-11.15,9.08-20.23,20.23-20.23,4.17,0,8.21,1.32,11.58,3.66,2.91-4.75,6.84-8.82,11.48-11.88-5.96-3.93-13.09-6.22-20.76-6.22Z\" fill=\"#08b\"><\/path><polygon points=\"10.27 51.69 10.27 51.69 10.27 51.68 10.27 51.69\" fill=\"#262c48\"><\/polygon><path d=\"M56.69,28.01s-11.09-6.23-22.17.38c-11.09,6.6-12.04,16.54-12.04,16.54,0,0-3.76,4.8-12.16,6.75.49,0,.97.01,1.45.01h.75c4.79-.03,9.11-.43,13.01-1.09v-2.02c0-11.15,9.08-20.23,20.23-20.23,4.17,0,8.21,1.32,11.58,3.66,2.91-4.75,6.84-8.82,11.48-11.88,0,0-7.63,3-12.12,7.88Z\" fill=\"#003057\"><\/path><path d=\"M35.94,58.32l1.27-.85,1.27.85,21.91,14.61v-11.66c.81,0,2.41-.56,2.41-.56l-5.71-19.56.2-3.2c-2.81-3.78-7.31-6.22-12.38-6.22-8.52,0-15.42,6.91-15.42,15.42v6.2s0,3.71-.73,6.47c-.35,1.32-1.01,2.97-1.6,4.33l8.77-5.85Z\" fill=\"#003057\"><\/path><path d=\"M35.45,58.05l1.3-.86,1.3.86,22.32,14.88v-11.87c.83,0,2.46-.57,2.46-.57l-5.81-19.92,2.73-1.72c-2.86-3.85-9.97-7.88-15.14-7.88-8.68,0-15.71,7.03-15.71,15.71v6.32s0,3.78-.75,6.59c-.36,1.35-1.03,3.03-1.63,4.41l8.93-5.96Z\" fill=\"#08b\"><\/path><path d=\"M57.02,40.62h-2.94l.15-2.36c-2.43-2.79-5.88-4.36-9.62-4.36-7.05,0-12.79,5.74-12.79,12.79v6.32c0,.17-.02,4.2-.85,7.34-.07.27-.16.56-.25.86l4.73-3.16,1.3-.86,1.3.86,22.32,14.88v-11.87c.83,0,2.46-.57,2.46-.57l-5.8-19.87Z\" fill=\"#003057\"><\/path><path d=\"M60.41,72.93l3.91,2.61c-2.14-3.86-6.49-12.73-7.2-22.15,0,0-6.49-2.01-9.07-6.01,0,0,7.85,1.68,11.09,2.76,0,0,.14,6.98,1.22,9.04,0,0,.69.57,1.23.93.54.36,1.23.61,1.23.61-.03-.22-.57-2.35-.86-5.2-.17-1.62-.15-3.48-.17-5.33-.08-5.93,0-12.23,0-12.23h-8.29c-.22,0-3.61,0-3.83.01-7.79.32-12.42,6.39-12.42,12.69v6.81\" fill=\"#08b\"><\/path><path d=\"M49.13,38.86c4.32,0,9.72,0,12.64,0,0-.57,0-.9,0-.9h-8.29c-.22,0-3.61,0-3.83.01-4.71.19-8.27,2.49-10.34,5.68.06-.08,3.63-4.79,9.81-4.79Z\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><rect x=\"37.15\" y=\"74.25\" width=\"2.6\" height=\"3.28\" fill=\"#003057\"><\/rect><rect x=\"33\" y=\"74.25\" width=\"2.6\" height=\"3.28\" fill=\"#003057\"><\/rect><rect x=\"37.15\" y=\"79.07\" width=\"2.6\" height=\"3.28\" fill=\"#003057\"><\/rect><rect x=\"33\" y=\"79.07\" width=\"2.6\" height=\"3.28\" fill=\"#003057\"><\/rect><polygon points=\"37.22 66.42 28.53 72.22 37.24 68.76 57.61 82.34 61.1 82.34 37.22 66.42\" fill=\"#08b\"><\/polygon><polygon points=\"64.2 82.34 71.41 82.34 70.76 81.9 37.54 59.75 37.22 59.54 36.9 59.75 16.35 73.45 14.78 74.5 16.67 74.5 21.84 74.5 22.01 74.5 22.16 74.41 37.22 64.35 64.2 82.34\" fill=\"#9ea6b4\"><\/polygon><\/svg><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-52cbd9f9 e-con-full post-lf-main-text-1 e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"52cbd9f9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd9e27a0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fd9e27a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Your Cold-Climate Home Maintenance Schedule<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6bd3d188 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6bd3d188\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By this point, you already have a pretty good idea of what you need to tackle before the winter, but it&#8217;s also equally important to know <em>when<\/em> it makes the most sense to take care of projects and tasks like these.
