Before winter arrives, you want to make sure your home is ready for the harsh conditions it brings. With regular maintenance and care, you can save yourself from roof replacement and repairs costs during the colder months. As temperatures drop, you should take necessary precautions to keep your roof safe against damage.
Here are tips to help you improve your home’s protection against damage this winter.
Get Rid of Debris on Your Roof
Debris on the roof can hold moisture, which over time can seep beneath the shingles and cause damage. A dirty and debris-laden roof is also more likely to attract pests into your home. Make sure to schedule roof maintenance and cleaning service before fall ends.
Make Sure Your Gutters Are Clean and Clog-Free
Gutters are vital to your roof and home’s protection against severe water damage. An efficient gutter system can also prevent the formation of ice dams. Regular gutter cleaning can help prevent debris from clogging the system. Once your gutters clog, water will back up to your roof and fall to your siding. If this part of your home has serious damage, have it repaired or replaced immediately. At WaynCo Roofing LLC, we only install high-quality gutter systems. We’re also here to assist with your roof insurance claim.
Deal With Damaged or Missing Shingles
Keep in mind that delaying repairs will only cause existing shingle damage to worsen. Address roofing issues while they are small can help extend the life of your roof. It can also help you save on your energy costs. Don’t wait for the water to leak inside your home because, by that time, you may need to pay thousands for repairs.
Get a Professional Roof Inspection
Regular inspections and maintenance are among the easiest ways to prevent roof damage. Experienced contractors know the best ways to prepare your roof against harsh winter conditions. They can also help you make the most of your roofing system.
