Get your home Winter Ready!

PREPARING YOUR HOME FOR WINTER

Winter weather in the NorthEast can be extremely harsh on a home exterior. The combination of freezing temperatures, strong winds and ice/snow are a lot for a home to handle.  An aging home or one with inferior products may result in damage that can lead to expensive repairs.  Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to best equip your home to navigate harsh weather….and Home Pro Exteriors, Inc. can help with many of them.

Protect Pipes

Sustained sub-freezing temperatures are not at all unusual in the NorthEast.  Freezing temps make the pipes on your exterior walls susceptible to freezing and bursting.  Before winter arrives, take time to wrap your pipes in insulation to protect them from the cold air outside.   This is a cost effective DIY project that can save huge costs and a huge headache.

Upgrade Roof

Are you missing shingles or is your roof older than 15 years of age?  If so, your home may be vulnerable to the elements.  Contact us so we can discuss the long term benefits of a certified roof system to protect your home.  Upgrade the look and the value of your home with an investment that provides an exceptional ROI.

Upgrade Windows

Are your windows old, drafty, single pain or have they experienced seal failure?  If so, they are no longer providing adequate protection from the elements.  Our high quality replacement windows provide a solution that makes a noticeable difference.  All units we install include Lifetime warranties and are EnergyStar in the NorthEast region.

Consider replacing your windows with double or triple pane windows for year round comfort.

Upgrade Siding

Cold temperatures, high winds, and ice wreak havoc on your home’s exterior. Can your siding handle another winter? Before the temperatures drop, inspect your siding for any cracked panels or discoloration. If you notice any areas of concern, it might be time to upgrade your siding. Quality vinyl siding from Home Pro Exteriors, Inc. will keep your home comfortable all year long.

Purchase a Generator

Downed trees and power outages are a part of the landscape in NY during the harshest Winters.
It is not uncommon to lose power for several hours or even days during severe weather events.  In light of that reality, it is highly advisable to have a backup power source.  Whole house generators or portable generators can keep your family comfortable and protected until power is restored.  Remember to store generators safely outside and follow manufacturer recommendations.

Properly protect Your Home! ????

When you’re ready to start your home improvement project, we are here to provide your hone with the protection it needs. Our team will discuss your project with you and go over your options so you can find the best windows and/or siding for your home.
