It rarely snows in Las Vegas, but it's still advisable to prepare your roof for the winter season. Even without significant rain, gusty winds pose a threat to the structural integrity of your house. Although it's advisable to hire a professional inspector at least once annually, you can perform some basic roof maintenance tasks.

Each season brings a new set of tasks that must be done to keep your home properly maintained. But sometimes these tasks get put off or forgotten about altogether. Here are three home maintenance tasks you definitely don’t want to forget to take care of this winter:
