Keep Your Shingles in Shape
Roof leaks are commonly considered a problem for older homes, but leaks can start for many reasons, even on fairly new homes. Keeping an eye out for broken, loose or missing shingles is the best way to catch these early so you are able to get a repair before a heavy storm comes through.

Beat the Weather With Weatherstripping
Adding weatherstripping around exterior windows and doors can have many benefits. When heavy rains saturate your area, water can make its way through minuscule cracks that weatherstripping can prevent. Additionally, weatherstripping is recommended by Energy.gov as a way to save money by cutting energy costs.

Gut Debris From Your Gutters
Clogged gutters can quickly lead to damage due to standing water, so clear out all of the leaves and debris at least twice each year. Between these cleanings, doing a visual inspection here can also be helpful—drain pipes that aren’t draining, standing water or any other oddities might be a sign that your drainage system is not working as intended.

Pick the Right Paint
If it is time to update the paint on your house, consider how this can increase your weatherproofing as well. Many exterior paints are now being made to be UV-resistant and even have enhanced waterproof technology built right into the coloring. Weather can wear down your house and lead to damage over time, so this can help your house age gracefully in harsh conditions.
