Winter Property Maintenance: Keeping Your Investment Protected

As winter shows its head in Louisiana and Texas, property owners face seasonal challenges that can impact residential and commercial building. From fluctuating temperatures to random winter storms, this short-lived cold weather can cause weak spots in roofing systems, exteriors, and structural components. DeRamus Construction Services is here to keep you ahead of the season with proactive solutions to keep your property in good health as we push through the winter weather.

Why Winter Property Maintenance Matters

Although our area does not experience intense winter weather conditions, Louisiana and Texas do experience:

• Sudden temperature drops

• Overnight freezes

• Heavy rainfall and hail

• High-moisture conditions

• Occasional snowfall

These conditions can lead to roof leaks, damaged siding, foundation stress, and hidden moisture issues. A property that is prepped and ready can help you avoid costly repairs and work disruptions.

Services We Recommend

Roofing Inspections & Repairs

Roofing shingles and felt can become brittle from existing weakness and the cold snaps, causing leaks after heavy precipitation. A roofing inspection can assist in catching the issue early and allow for repairs to be performed before they become worse.

Exterior Protection

Stucco, siding, fascia, and trim often take the heavy beating during this time of year. Restoring, repainting, and applying protective coatings can help keep your exterior in prime condition.

Moisture & Water Damage Prevention

Winter is a high-risk season for water intrusion, especially in our region. Identifying issues like old/ faulty plumbing and roof runoff can allow repairs to be made prior to moisture-related damages happening and prevent extensive structural damages.

Facility Winterization

Downtime from building repairs can throw your operations completely off track and hinder your timeframes, especially at the end of the year. We recommend having your property fully assessed for existing damages or weak spots to prevent long repair times and costly, intrusive services to have to be performed.
