Winterizing your home is a very important tool in insuring energy
efficiency in your home. It can save you money on your heating and
electric bills and it is always good practice to know the ins and outs
of your home.

A good example of winterizing your home is to make sure you have
proper and adequate insulation installed in your attic and crawlspace
structure flooring. Make sure when installing insulation you where
adequate clothing, gloves and a respirator mask to help prevent lung
inhalation of air born particles.

Gutters, Downspouts are a must for the preservation and up keep
of a homes roof and surrounding grade and foundation. It is very
important to have proper functioning gutters and downspouts to properly
drain water runoff away from your homes exterior and roof. Water runoff
can travel back under shingles and over time deteriorate your structure
fascia board and roof system if gutters are not installed. Downspouts
and exterior drains divert moisture away from the foundation and
structure areas with properly sloped swales at the exterior surface
grade. Properly installed drainage systems are not expensive to install
and help prevent moisture from possibly entering your basement or
crawlspace area.
