Most people understand that with changing seasons, come changes you need to make before you enter those seasons… your roof is no different!
Be sure your roof cant withstand the challenges that come with new seasons, including falling leaves, an increase in moisture, and the potential storms. Here are some items to consider in your preparation:
- Be sure you clean those gutters and downspouts. If they are clogged, water can overflow, which could potentially damage your roof and foundation. Gutter guards are a great consideration!
- Trim those overhanging branches. You don’t want those branches falling onto your roof during a bad storm. Prepare now!
- Inspect and repair the shingles that need attention. Water can seep through under roofing materials, and that is the last thing you’ll want in the colder months.
- Check the flashing and sealants. Check around your chimneys, vents, and skylights, and be sure they do not have cracks or gaps.
- Consider a roof inspection. If you are unsure, or have not had your roof inspected in a while, now might be the time to make that happen!
