Winter Siding Care & Protection in Fitchburg, MA
New England winters test exterior building materials. Follow these steps to protect your siding:
- Clear Snow Drift Clearance: Keep snow piles at least 6 inches below bottom siding courses to prevent melting snow from wicking up wood sheathing.
- Prevent Roof Ice Dams: Insulate attic floors and ensure continuous soffit ventilation to keep roof surfaces cold.
- Avoid Sharp Shovel Impacts: Cold vinyl is brittle; take care when clearing ice near foundation walls.
