Protect Against Coastal Weather

Seal and Insulate: Our salty air and fluctuating temperatures can wear down a home quickly. Inspect and seal windows, doors, and any exposed woodwork annually to prevent drafts, rot, and water damage.

Gutter Maintenance: Ensure gutters are clean and directing water away from your foundation to prevent leaks during heavy rain or snow melt.

Get your indoor projects done in winter

Winter is the perfect time to focus on indoor home projects. Refresh your walls with a new coat of paint, declutter and organize your spaces, or tackle small repairs like fixing squeaky doors or replacing old caulking. Upgrade interiors with new lighting or hardware, and add insulation or weatherstripping to improve energy efficiency.

Prepare for Winter Storms

Chimney and Heating Checks: Schedule an annual chimney sweep and heating system tune-up before the winter season.

Ice Dam Prevention: Install proper attic insulation to reduce the risk of ice dams forming on your roof, which can cause leaks and structural damage.
