How to Winterize Your Home in Colorado: 10 Must-Do Steps to Avoid Expensive Repairs
When the snow starts falling and temperatures drop, your home becomes your haven — but only if it’s properly protected. At No Limitz Contracting Services, we’ve seen firsthand the damage that harsh Colorado winters can cause when homes aren’t winterized properly.
If you want to avoid frozen pipes, roof leaks, high utility bills, and costly emergency repairs, follow this 10-step winter home checklist.
1. 
Insulate Your Pipes
Frozen pipes can burst and flood your home in minutes. Wrap exposed pipes in unheated areas (basements, crawlspaces, garages) with foam insulation or heat tape to prevent freezing.
2. 
Seal Windows & Doors
Drafty windows can cost you hundreds in energy bills. Use caulk or weatherstripping to seal gaps around doors and windows to keep warm air in and cold air out.
3. 
Check Siding & Exterior Walls
Cracked or damaged siding can let in moisture, leading to mold, insulation damage, and higher heating costs. Let us inspect and repair any weak points before snow hits.
4. 
Inspect Your Roof
Snow and ice buildup on a weak roof can cause serious damage. Look for missing shingles, loose flashing, or signs of leaks. Not sure what to look for? We’ll inspect it for you.
5. 
Clean Out Gutters
Clogged gutters lead to ice dams and water backing up into your roof or walls. Remove leaves and debris to allow proper drainage.
6. 
Install a Storm Door
A storm door adds an extra layer of protection against wind, snow, and heat loss — and gives your home added curb appeal too.
7. 
Service Your Furnace
Don’t wait until the first cold night to find out your furnace isn’t working. Have it cleaned, inspected, and tuned up before winter arrives.
8. 
Add Attic Insulation
Heat rises — and escapes through the attic if not properly insulated. Boost your home’s energy efficiency with additional insulation.
9. 
Check Your Home’s Ventilation
Proper airflow helps prevent condensation and mold. Make sure vents aren’t blocked and that your attic breathes to prevent ice damming.
10. 
Be Prepared for Emergencies
Power outages, roof leaks, and frozen pipes can still happen. Keep extra blankets, flashlights, and a home emergency repair contact list — like NLCS — on hand 24/7.

Colorado’s weather can turn in an instant. The cost of preventative winter maintenance is always cheaper than emergency storm damage repairs. We’ve helped hundreds of homeowners protect their homes — and we’re ready to help you too.
