How to Prep Your Home for the Cold Season: Moda Construction’s Expert Tips

As temperatures drop, your home should be as ready for the season as you are. At Moda Construction, we believe winter prep isn’t just about comfort — it’s about protecting your investment and ensuring long-term efficiency.

1. Seal and insulate.

Drafts around windows, doors, and attics are silent energy wasters. Check seals, add weatherstripping, and consider upgrading insulation — especially in older homes. Proper sealing can lower energy costs and make every room feel warmer.

2. Service your systems.

Schedule a professional furnace tune-up and replace air filters. Clean vents and inspect your water heater for efficiency. These small steps prevent costly mid-winter breakdowns.

3. Protect your exterior.

Before the first freeze, clear gutters, check your roof for loose shingles, and disconnect outdoor hoses. Snow and ice can cause damage if water can’t drain properly.

4. Think comfort and design.

Winter is also the perfect time to make interiors cozier — layered textures, warm lighting, and soft color palettes can turn your space into a retreat.

At Moda Construction, we help homeowners plan renovations that look great year-round and perform even better when the temperature drops. A little prep now means a more comfortable, efficient winter ahead.
