Leaves out, water flowing, downspouts carrying melt away from the foundation — your first line of defense against ice dams.
Hoses disconnected, hose bibs shut down and drained — so the first hard freeze doesn't burst a pipe inside your wall.
Gaps at windows, doors, and penetrations sealed up — fewer drafts, a lower heat bill, and less frozen-pipe risk.
Fresh filter in, returns cleared, ceiling fans reversed to push the warm air back down where you live.
We look where the heat escapes — attic hatches, can lights, bath fans — the exact leaks that feed ice dams on the roof.
Screens swapped for storm panels, door sweeps and thresholds adjusted so exterior doors actually seal tight.
October through Thanksgiving is the sweet spot — after most of the leaves are down, before the first hard freeze. The calendar fills fast once the first frost hits, so booking early gets you the better dates.
We quote the visit flat after a few quick questions about your house. Anything extra — like a full gutter cleaning on a large home — is itemized in the written quote first, so there are no surprises.
Small fixes happen on the spot. Anything bigger gets a written quote with photos and zero obligation — you decide.
It removes the two biggest contributors: clogged gutters and warm-air leaks into the attic. For the full picture, read our guide on what causes ice dams in Northern Illinois.
Yes — gutters cleared of winter grit, screens back in, hose bibs turned on, and a post-winter check for damage worth catching early.
