Another calendar year is coming to an end, and we all know what that means – we are coming upon another Minnesota winter. Minnesota weather can often mean severe weather. Severe weather is more intense and can take a much harsher toll on our homes than normal, temperate weather. In Minnesota, the challenges of the cold weather months are falling temperatures, snow, ice, and wind. Combined, those weather phenomena can spell disaster–or at least minor damage–to the structure of an otherwise solidly built home. The accumulation of ice and snow on a roof can lead to the formation of ice dams, which form when the frozen precipitation accumulates on the warm roof of your home, expanding as it refreezes Read Full Post

The leaves are turning, temperatures are falling, and it is getting darker earlier. What does that mean? Winter is on its way. This year, we have had cold temperatures even sooner than some years, so it is time to prepare your home for winter. Here are some things you can do now to protect your home from the winter weather that is on its way:
1. Repair your gutter system: Your gutter system is the key to pushing water away from your roof and foundation, which prevents water damage. If you have standard gutters, you will need to have your gutters cleaned well before winter so that water can continue to flow through easily. If your gutter system is in need of replacement, a seamless or leafless gutter system is a great investment. Read Full Post
