Local Handyman Company Urges Wareham Residents to Prep Homes Early for Winter

Wareham, MA — As cooler temperatures arrive, a local handyman company is encouraging Wareham and nearby communities to get their homes ready before winter weather sets in. To help homeowners prepare, Alton Barnes, LLC — a company specializing in handyman services — is offering a 5% discount on projects booked through October 10th.

“Too often, people wait until the first storm to realize their gutters are clogged, their windows aren’t sealed, or their roof needs attention,” said owner Mack of Alton Barnes, LLC. “A little preparation now saves a lot of money and stress down the line.”

Early Winterization Matters

The company reports that the most common fall prep tasks include:

Checking and repairing gutters and siding
Sealing doors and windows against drafts
Inspecting roofs for loose shingles
Touching up exterior paint and trim
Reinforcing decks, porches, and foundations

“New England winters are unpredictable. You don’t want to find out in January that a small issue turned into a big problem,” Mack added.

Serving the Region

Based in Wareham, Alton Barnes, LLC also assists homeowners across the South Coast, including Buzzards Bay, Marion, Carver, Rochester, Middleboro, Plymouth, Mattapoisett, and Fairhaven.

Local residents say having a reliable, local team gives them peace of mind. “It’s nice to know someone close by is looking out for homeowners,” said one Wareham customer. “When you see the storms coming, you feel better knowing your home has been checked.”
