As the leaves fall and the chill sets in, Northeast Ohio residents know all too well the unpredictability of our winter weather. From fierce windstorms to heavy snowfall, freezing rain, and sub-zero temperatures, these conditions can wreak havoc on your home. But fear not, it’s not too late to winterize your home and shield it from the next winter storm.
Seal the Deal Against Leaks and Drafts
Drafts sneaking through cracks can sabotage your cozy warmth and inflate your energy bills. A home energy audit can pinpoint these trouble spots. If your energy company doesn’t offer this service, don’t worry—Boak & Sons has you covered with hassle-free insulation estimates. Seal those cracks with caulking, fortify your windows, and consider a storm door for added defense against the cold. Remember, insulating your attic is key to minimizing heat loss and preventing condensation.
Roof and Gutters: Your First Line of Defense
The integrity of your roof and gutters is paramount when facing Northeast Ohio’s winter storms. Ice and densely packed snow can be surprisingly heavy, posing a threat to the sturdiness of your roof. Keep your gutters clear to prevent damage that could lead to costly repairs. Boak & Sons offers free inspections to ensure your roof and gutters are winter-ready.

Trim the Threat: Low-Hanging Tree Branches
Don’t let low-hanging branches become a liability. The weight of snow can turn them into ticking time bombs over your property. Take proactive steps to ensure all trees are healthy and pose no risk to your home.
Hoses and Faucets: The Forgotten Frontline
A simple step like disconnecting your garden hose can save you from a burst pipe nightmare. Drain and store hoses indoors, shut off exterior water valves, and consider faucet covers for extra protection.
