Winter Maintenance Tips for Your Property

Jan 12

As winter approaches, it’s essential to prepare your property to withstand the season's challenges. At JBM Custom Contracting, we understand the importance of maintaining your home or business during this time. Here are some valuable tips and insights to help you protect your property and enjoy a stress-free winter.

1. Clear Your Gutters Before the Rain and Snow

Clogged gutters can lead to water overflow, causing damage to your roof, siding, and foundation. Before the first snowfall, make sure to:

Remove leaves, twigs, and debris.
Check for cracks or leaks in your gutters.
Install gutter guards to minimize future blockages.

Pro Tip: JBM Custom Contracting offers professional gutter cleaning services to save you time and effort.

2. Schedule Snow Removal in Advance

Snow can accumulate quickly, creating hazards for pedestrians and vehicles. Whether you’re a homeowner or a business owner, keeping walkways and driveways clear is crucial.

Invest in a reliable snow removal service.
Consider a seasonal contract to ensure priority service during heavy snowfalls.
Apply salt or sand to prevent icy surfaces.

Pro Tip: Our snow removal services cater to both residential and commercial properties, ensuring safety and accessibility throughout the winter.

3. Protect Your Roof from Moss and Ice

Winter moisture can exacerbate moss growth and lead to ice dams on your roof. To prevent these issues:

Remove existing moss before winter sets in.
Ensure proper roof ventilation to avoid ice dams.
Trim overhanging branches to reduce moisture buildup.

Pro Tip: Our moss removal services are eco-friendly and effective in extending the life of your roof.

4. Maintain Your Yard During Winter

While yard work is often associated with spring and summer, winter yard care is equally important:

Rake up any remaining leaves to prevent mold growth.
Prune shrubs and trees to avoid breakage from snow.
Mulch garden beds to insulate roots.

Pro Tip: JBM Custom Contracting offers yard care services to keep your outdoor spaces neat and healthy year-round.

5. Plan for Small Demolitions or Outdoor Projects

Winter can be a great time to tackle minor demolitions or prepare your property for spring projects. Consider:

Removing old sheds, decks, or fences that are no longer in use.
Clearing debris from your property to start fresh in the new year.

Pro Tip: Our demolition and junk removal services are efficient and thorough, making winter cleanup hassle-free.
