4 Things You Should Do to Prepare Your Home for Fall  

Now that we are officially in fall, it is time to prepare your home for the cooler temperatures. Below are some things that you should do in order to make your house comfortable during fall (and later in winter). Hiring a professional can prevent you from hurting yourself of damaging your house.

1. Repair the Roof

Fall is a time for high winds and heavy rains. Therefore, you must check your roof to ensure that there are no missing or loose shingles or damaged tiles. You should pay more attention to the roof valleys because this is where the snow and the rain water tend to collect. Replace or repair missing shingles or tiles to make sure that your roof does not collapse due to the weight of the snow that will accumulate in the coming months. If you are not comfortable doing this yourself, contact Premiere Roofing for assistance.

2. Check the Gutters

The gutters are going to get a lot of action from now on due to the failing leaves. You should therefore go up there and clean them before the leaves cause a problem. Once you have removed all the leaves, you should check the rivets and replace any that are missing or appear lose. You can always call our gutter repair installation and experts to help you to clean and replace damaged gutters.

3. Check The Installation On The Windows, Doors, And Other Openings

Go around the house to make sure that your windows have a perfect seal. Proper insulation not only makes the house more comfortable during the cold season, but also saves you money by making your house more energy efficient.

4. Siding Repairs

Siding is usually damaged by storms and by water. Damage in one of the siding may cause nearby siding to become damaged leading to a huge repair bill. Therefore, you should go around the house and check any siding that need repair and replace them.

2 Spooky Sounds Coming From Your Attic and What They Mean

Have you ever laid awake at night wondering about the creaks, drips, and bangs coming from over your bedroom? Or some mysterious location over the hallway ceiling?

Assuming your house isn’t haunted, several different things could be going on up there.

Shivering Your Timbers

With nightfall, cooler air descends upon your roof. The cooling will cause some contraction in materials, and a few noises typically come with that.

Even natural sounds, over time, can signal a weakening of your roof. Snow and ice can pry gutters from the roof.

Look for bends, bulges, and tiles or other rooftop material that might appear a little loose. If nothing’s visible, yet the sounds make you wonder, a professional roof inspection can reveal whether you have cause for concern.

Premiere Roofing of Columbia, SC can diagnose the issue and tell you how much of a fix you need. Sometimes, reinforcing your insulation can help buffer temperature changes and solve the issue.
