Mid-Winter Home Protection: What Denver & Thornton Homeowners Should Check Now

Winter in Colorado isn’t just cold, it’s unpredictable. Snow, ice, wind, and temperature swings can quietly cause damage to your roof, siding, and windows, especially in Denver, Thornton, and surrounding Front Range communities.

If your home made it through the early winter storms, now is the perfect time for a mid-season checkup to prevent small issues from turning into costly repairs.

At Sunset Restoration, we help homeowners protect their properties all winter long, and yes, roofing work can still be done during winter when weather conditions allow.

Here’s what to look for right now:

• 1. Check for Roof Damage After Winter Storms
  • Your roof takes the brunt of winter weather. Even if there’s no visible leak, hidden damage can worsen as snow melts and refreezes.
  • Look for:
    • Missing or lifted shingles
    • Damaged flashing around vents and chimneys
    • Ice dam buildup along roof edges
    • Water stains in the attic or ceiling
  • Catching roof issues early can prevent interior damage and expensive repairs later.
• 2. Inspect Siding for Cracks or Loose Panels
  • Freezing temperatures can cause siding to expand and contract, leading to cracks or gaps
  • Mid-winter siding tips:
    • Check for warped or loose panels
    • Look for moisture behind siding
    • Inspect seams and corners for gaps
    • Repair storm or hail damage before it worsens
  • Proper siding protection improves insulation and shields your home from moisture intrusion.
• 3. Watch for Drafty or Leaking Windows
  • Windows are a major source of heat loss in winter. Poor seals can let in cold air and moisture
  • What to check:
    • Cracked caulking
    • Failed window seals
    • Condensation between panes
    • Drafts around frames
  • Sealing window gaps helps improve energy efficiency and keeps your home comfortable.
• 4. Why Winter Inspections Matter
  • Many homeowners wait until spring to schedule inspections, but winter is when problems often show up.
  • A professional inspection can:
    • Identify storm damage
    • Prevent emergency repairs
    • Protect your home’s structure
    • Save money long-term
  • And yes, roof repairs and replacements can be completed during winter when weather permits.
