Winter can be tough on your roof, causing ice buildup, leaks, and structural damage. Proper preparation ensures durability and protection against harsh weather conditions. Here’s how to get your roof winter-ready.
Check for missing or damaged shingles that could lead to leaks. Inspect flashing and seals around vents and chimneys for gaps.
Remove leaves, debris, and dirt to prevent ice dams and water buildup. Ensure gutters are securely attached and directing water away from the house.
Snow-laden branches can break and damage your roof. Keep trees trimmed back to minimize debris accumulation.
Proper insulation prevents heat loss, which reduces the risk of ice dams. Ensure your attic has adequate ventilation to maintain a stable roof temperature.
A professional roofer can identify potential weak spots before winter storms hit. Preventative maintenance helps avoid costly emergency repairs later.
Yes, but extra precautions are needed. Cold temperatures and ice make roofs slippery, increasing the risk of falls. If cleaning is necessary:
Use gentle roof-safe cleaning solutions.
Avoid power washing, as it can freeze and damage shingles.
If dealing with ice dams, consult a professional for safe removal.
