Early planning is key! Here is a handy checklist to consult so you don\u2019t miss anything.<\/p>\n<h2>1.\u00a0\u00a0 Pack and Store Patio Furniture<\/h2>\n<p>First, clean all patio furniture well, including cushions, allowing everything to dry completely. If you don\u2019t have a secure storage unit on site and don\u2019t want to transport your items to an off-site storage unit, it\u2019s best to have a professional <a href=\"https:\/\/clearviewwashing.com\/shrink-wrap\/\">shrink wrap<\/a> your furniture for safe keeping. \u00a0This will protect your items from the snow, wind and ice. You can do the same for seasonal outdoor toys and pool equipment.<\/p>\n<h2>2.\u00a0\u00a0 Organize and Clean Your Garage<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Empty out your garage and put everything out on the grass or driveway.<\/li>\n<li>Purge items you no longer need or want.<\/li>\n<li>Clean the garage.<\/li>\n<li>Organize equipment as you put it back.<\/li>\n<li>Add cubbies and shelves for more strategic placement.<\/li>\n<li>Store things methodically, such as summer sports equipment in one place and winter skis and gear in another.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>3.\u00a0\u00a0 Clean and Weatherproof the Deck<\/h2>\n<p>Sweep your deck, then clean it with a hose or very low pressure washer. Apply a sealant or new coat of paint to your wood deck for extra protection against snow and ice.<\/p>\n<h2>4.\u00a0\u00a0 Check the Roof<\/h2>\n<p>No need to get up on the roof. You can inspect your roof from the ground using binoculars. Look for signs of damage such as loose or missing shingles. Call a roofer if you see anything that concerns you. If you see black streaks and other dirt, make an appointment for <a href=\"https:\/\/clearviewwashing.com\/roof-cleaning\/\">roof cleaning<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>5.\u00a0\u00a0 Weatherproof Doors and Windows<\/h2>\n<p>Place weather stripping around all doors and windows. Check for gaps and cracks, applying caulk as necessary. This will keep drafts out during the winter, which will help you save on heating costs.<\/p>\n<h2>6.\u00a0\u00a0 Prepare Outdoor Faucets<\/h2>\n<p>Disconnect all garden hoses, being careful to drain any remaining water. That\u2019s because pipes can freeze and expand in winter, and may burst. It\u2019s also a good idea to place insulating covers on outdoor faucets.<\/p>\n<h2>7.\u00a0\u00a0 Check the Gutters<\/h2>\n<p>Clear your gutters and downspouts of any blockages such as leaves, dirt and twigs. Clogs can cause water to back up against the house. Leaks, as well as damaged roofing, siding and wood trim can all occur in this case. It\u2019s advisable to hire a professional for <a href=\"https:\/\/clearviewwashing.com\/gutter-cleaning\/\">gutter cleaning<\/a> so you don\u2019t damage the gutter system or fall from the ladder.<\/p>\n<h2>Contact Clearview Washing<\/h2>\n<p>Clearview Washing can help with many of these tasks when preparing your property for winter.
