Our next installment of garage winterization tips focuses on your garage’s exterior. Like the rest of your house, your garage needs its gutters, roof, and downspouts inspected and cleaned during the fall. We’ll go back to this article for a good summary.
- Inspect your roof and replace any missing, damaged, or warped shingles
- Use roofing cement to replace any deteriorated flashing around your chimney, walls, skylights, and vents.
- Clean your gutters and downspouts of leaves and debris and make any needed repairs.
