The weather nowadays can be unpredictable. It can be raining one day and extremely sunny the next. With these changes, it helps that your home is prepared. Here are three ways to protect your home from the ever-changing weather conditions. 

1. Clean your gutters. A clean gutter system is a must. This way, water runoff can be channeled toward the downspouts and away from your property. If the gutters are clogged, expect your home to suffer the debilitating effects of water damage. Avoid this by making gutter cleaning a top priority every season. Alternatively, you may consider investing in a gutter protection system so you won’t have to get up the ladder and clean your gutters.

2. Install a cool roof. The summer heat can be extremely unbearable nowadays. This may force you to crank your AC to the highest setting, which will reflect on your next energy bill. To lessen the heat being absorbed by your roof to your living areas, consider investing in a cool roof. Choose a roofing material that has a high solar reflectivity, which means it can reflect a great deal of sunlight instead of absorbing it.

3. Have your home examined and inspected. The best way to prepare for any weather is having the professionals check your home for damage. These inspections can help them identify problems that the untrained eye can’t see and perform the necessary fixes. These also give you the opportunity to see which parts of your home will need repairs and replacements.
