As the rain returns to the Lower Mainland, fall is the time to prepare your home for winter. Vancouver’s wet season can be tough on exteriors, so a little maintenance now prevents big headaches later.
🍂 1. Clean Gutters and Downspouts
Falling leaves clog gutters fast. Clear them to prevent leaks and roof damage — especially for homes in Coquitlam and Burnaby, where trees shed heavily.
🏠 2. Inspect Roofs and Flashing
Look for loose shingles or moss buildup. Roof issues often start small but lead to major leaks over winter.
💧 3. Check Windows and Doors
Re-caulk and weatherstrip to stop drafts and moisture. It keeps your home warmer and reduces energy bills.
🎨 4. Touch Up Exterior Paint
Paint acts as a protective barrier against the elements. If it’s fading or peeling, apply a fresh coat before the rains hit.
🧰 5. Schedule a Professional Inspection
An annual inspection from Aftermath Contracting can catch early issues like mold, water damage, or wood rot, ensuring your home stays protected year-round.
