RoofsWhen the winds are howling, hail is falling, and snow is coating everything in white, your roof has to be able to withstand an awful lot of abuse. Tiles can be broken or blown away by the wind, and your roof can face a lot of damage from rain and ice dams. If you’re concerned about the condition of your roof, it’s worth finding a reputable roofing contractor. Schedule a time for them to come out and have a look at your roof, address any of your concerns and obtain an estimate for repairs or replacement.

DrivewaysAnyone with an asphalt driveway knows what happens to it in winter: unsightly and dangerous potholes. And in the summer, it could be just as bad with hot and sticky areas causing dents and indentations. Because it's such a high traffic area, driveways are always going to require maintenance, no matter what material it's made out of. Routinely keep this area free and clear of debris and use shovels and other tools with rubber edges so as not to exacerbate damage. Also, stay away from salt as a de-icing agent in winter as it can be corrosive to pavement, and opt for calcium chloride, kitty litter or sand instead.

GardensYour yard takes a real beating during stormy weather, so be sure that anything that is portable is brought inside or tied down extremely well (two words: zip ties). Be sure that trees are pruned each spring and / or fall so you aren't at risk for falling limbs and branches and if you see something, say something; to your neighbors, that is. If there seems to be dangerous limbs encroaching on your property, make sure they are aware of it before something happens. When it comes to your home in risky weather, being proactive is half the battle.
