It is important for your home to be winterized properly. The first step is to start hiring a roofer who can conduct a roofing examination. This inspection will check for any potential problems that might get worse. Professional roofers will be in a position to assess the roof’s construction to make sure it is strong even in the winter storms. They’ll check for leaks to help you avoid expensive water damage.

Leakage is most likely in those areas that surround the valley or flashing of the roof. The affected areas must be inspected and repaired. The roof may require sealing the roof’s base with caulk or sealant to ensure that it doesn’t leak even if sealant is damaged. Asphalt roofing shingles that are not present or damaged need to be replaced to ensure your roof is well protected from the intrusion of water. Even when your roof seems to be in great shape, it is prone to accumulating debris over time. This debris needs to be cleaned before winter to avoid overburdening your roof and speeding up wear and tear. It will be easier to prepare for the storms if you have a roof inspection done prior to the storms arriving.

Make sure your Guts are Clean

In the course of roof repair, you shouldn’t also neglect the cleaning of your gutters as well. Cleaning your gutters is often overlooked, but this can be catastrophic if your gutters are blocked and result in water damage. Clean your gutters prior any winter storms. It’s amazing how many leaves and other particles can get accumulated in your gutters throughout the years. Grab a ladder to clean your gutters. Small plastic spoons or other similar tool can be the ideal tool to clean your gutters. Once you have scooped out every thing you can you’ll need to bring out a hose to finish the task.
