🏠 Pre-Winter Roof Maintenance: Protect Your Home Before the Snow Falls
As winter approaches, your roof becomes the first line of defense against snow, ice, and freezing temperatures. A proactive maintenance plan can help you avoid costly damage and keep your home or property safe and dry all season long.
Our Pre-Winter Roof Maintenance Package is designed to ensure your roof is ready to withstand the harsh winter months. Whether you’re a homeowner, property manager, or contractor, this service is ideal for both residential and commercial properties.
Here’s what’s included in our comprehensive maintenance package:
🔍 1. Visual Roof Inspection
Before winter weather sets in, a thorough inspection helps identify weak spots early. We carefully examine your entire roof surface—whether shingles, metal panels, or tiles—for:
-
Cracked, curling, or missing shingles
-
Rusted, loose, or missing fasteners on metal roofs
-
Damaged flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights
-
Sagging areas or structural deformities
-
Signs of water pooling or slow drainage
Spotting these issues now can prevent leaks and damage later.
💧 2. Gutter & Downspout Cleaning
Clogged gutters can lead to serious water damage during freeze-thaw cycles. Our team will:
-
Remove leaves, pine needles, and other debris
-
Check for proper water flow
-
Ensure downspouts discharge water 3–6 feet away from your foundation
-
Install or inspect gutter guards (optional but highly recommended)
This simple step helps prevent ice dams and basement leaks.
🏗️ 3. Roof Penetration & Flashing Inspection
Roof penetrations are common leak points. To protect these vulnerable areas, we:
-
Check seals and flashing around chimneys, skylights, plumbing vents, and HVAC vents
-
Re-seal or re-flash as needed using high-quality roofing sealant
A little preventative sealing can save you thousands in water damage repairs.
🌡️ 4. Attic & Insulation Check
Your attic plays a critical role in maintaining your roof’s health. We inspect:
-
Signs of leaks such as dark spots, mold, or mildew
-
Insulation levels under the roof deck
-
Ventilation to minimize condensation and ice dam formation
Proper insulation and ventilation not only protect your roof—they can also help lower your heating costs.
❄️ 5. Ice Dam Prevention
Ice dams can cause extensive roof and interior damage. To reduce the risk, we:
-
Ensure ventilation is adequate
-
Check that attic insulation meets current standards
-
Remove debris that contributes to ice buildup
Taking these steps now means fewer headaches when temperatures drop.
🌿 6. Moss & Algae Removal
Moss and algae can trap moisture and damage roofing materials. We:
-
Use roof-safe moss and algae cleaners (never pressure washing!)
-
Install zinc or copper strips near the ridge to help prevent regrowth
This keeps your roof both functional and looking great.
🛠️ 7. Minor Repairs
If we find small issues during the inspection, we take care of them on the spot. This includes:
-
Replacing missing or damaged shingles
-
Securing loose flashing or gutters
-
Sealing minor cracks or gaps with roofing-grade cement or sealant
Catching problems early keeps them from turning into major repairs.
