Why You Should Weatherproof Your Roof
Exposing your roof to harsh weather every season can cause significant wear. Weatherproofing is an essential step in extending its lifespan and preventing expensive damage.
Seasonal Challenges and How to Address Them
Seasonal weather can be tough on your roof. Here are some expert tips to help you keep your roof protected year-round:
- Winter: Winter weather can lead to ice dams and leaks. Keep your roof safe by removing snow and ensuring gutters are clear of ice.
- Spring: Spring storms and heavy rains can expose vulnerabilities. Inspect for loose shingles or flashing and ensure proper drainage to prevent water pooling.
- Summer: Intense heat can cause roofing materials to expand and crack. Schedule inspections to identify early signs of damage and maintain adequate ventilation to reduce heat stress.
- Fall: Fall leaves and debris can obstruct gutters. Clean them regularly and inspect your roof for damage before the cold weather sets in.
