🍂 Fall Prep: How to Protect & Maintain Your Post-Frame Building for Winter

As the days grow shorter and the temperatures begin to dip, it’s time to think about preparing your post-frame building for the winter ahead. Proper fall maintenance helps ensure your structure remains durable, efficient, and ready to handle the harshest months of the year.

Here are a few essential steps every building owner should consider:

1.Inspect Your Roof & Gutters
Clear away leaves, sticks, and debris that can cause water backup or ice dams. Make sure fasteners are tight and panels are secure before the first snow arrives.

2.Check Doors & Windows
Look for gaps or worn seals that could let in cold drafts. Weatherstripping and caulk are small investments that lead to big energy savings.

3.Evaluate Insulation & Ventilation
Good airflow prevents moisture build-up inside your building, while proper insulation reduces heating costs. Fall is the best time to make these upgrades.

4.Inspect the Perimeter
Walk around your building and make sure grading directs water away from the foundation. Trimming trees or branches that hang over your structure also helps avoid winter storm damage.

5.Schedule Professional Maintenance
Having your building checked by experts ensures peace of mind that all critical areas—roofing, siding, doors, and structural connections—are in excellent shape for winter.
