Fall is the perfect time to prepare your roof for winter before the snow flies. Here are some essential maintenance tips to protect your home as temperatures drop:
1. Clean Your Gutters
Clogged gutters can trap water, which leads to roof rot and ice dams once the freeze hits. Clear out leaves and debris before the first storm.
2. Inspect for Damaged Shingles
Look for cracked, curled, or missing shingles. Even small areas of damage can let in moisture during snowy weather.
3. Check Flashing and Seals
Inspect flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights. If it’s loose or deteriorating, it could lead to leaks under melting snow.
4. Trim Trees and Branches
Fall windstorms can break limbs that damage your roof. Keep nearby trees trimmed to reduce the risk.
5. Schedule a Professional Inspection
