Vermont winter home repair checklist

Before winter gets serious, owners should pay attention to the issues that turn into water, ice, or access problems later.

• Watch roof edges, flashing, and visible missing or lifted materials.
• Check siding and trim for openings where wind-driven moisture can enter.
• Repair or stabilize mobile home skirting before drifting and freezing worsen the gaps.
• Use winter to handle interior patching, tear-out, and turnover lists.
• Group practical repairs instead of trying to book ten separate small jobs.
