Ontario homes face a wide range of weather extremes throughout the year—hot summer sun, heavy rain, icy winters, and everything in between. Over time, these conditions can take a toll on your home’s exterior, leading to damage that’s often overlooked until it becomes a serious issue.
Common Types of Weather Damage
- Sun Exposure: Prolonged UV rays can cause fading, warping, and cracking of siding, roofing shingles, and window frames. Paint can blister or peel, while caulking may dry out and fail.
- Rain and Moisture: Consistent rain can lead to water infiltration, especially if flashing or caulking is failing. Over time, this can cause rot, mold, and damage to structural materials.
- Winter Freeze and Thaw: Ice buildup can damage gutters and soffits, while freezing and thawing cycles can cause cracks in siding and roofing. Snow accumulation may also stress roofing systems, leading to premature wear.
Why Renovation Planning Is Key
Proactive renovation planning can help you avoid expensive emergency repairs. By assessing your home regularly and addressing minor issues before they worsen, you protect both your investment and your peace of mind.
Start by scheduling an inspection in spring or early fall—when the weather is mild and work can be done efficiently. Replacing aging siding, upgrading roofing, or sealing windows and doors can make your home more weather-resistant and energy-efficient.
