Yes, it's still shorts weather. Yes, the days are still longer. Yes, it is still Summer. But, it's also a great time to start planning for Winter and cold, wet weather.
Check the Roof - Leaks can eventually damage the wood sheathing and rafters below your shingles, leading to expensive repairs at a time when they’re difficult to make. If you suspect your roof has loose, damaged, or missing shingles, have a licensed roofing contractor do an inspection and make repairs before the first snow.
Clean and Inspect Gutters - Clogged gutters can cause water to back up and then freeze once temperatures drop.
