We restore and rebuild homes damaged by storms in Lane County.

Our local North Eugene and Northwest Lane County teams want everyone to be prepared for winter weather. Winter storms in the Pacific Northwest can bring heavy rain, strong winds, and  snow, making it essential to prepare your home. Taking preventive steps will help protect your property in Eugene and ensure you’re ready for winter.

Start by inspecting your roof for any loose or damaged shingles. Repairing these now will prevent leaks when storms hit. Additionally, clear your gutters of leaves and debris so rainwater can flow freely and not pool around your foundation.

Trim any overhanging branches that could fall on your roof during a windstorm. It’s also wise to secure outdoor furniture and other objects that could become projectiles in high winds.

Check the seals on your windows and doors to keep your home warm and energy-efficient. Adding weatherstripping or caulking can prevent drafts and lower your heating bill.

Also, have an emergency kit with essentials like flashlights, batteries, blankets, and non-perishable food in case of power outages. With a bit of preparation, you can weather the winter storms with peace of mind.
