5 Steps to Getting Your Roof Ready for Winter

---

---

1.  Gutter Cleaning and Maintenance

Your gutters play a vitally important role in protecting your home’s roof, foundation, siding and even landscaping. If you haven’t cleaned and inspected your gutters yet, make a point of it as soon as possible.  Well-functioning gutters are our first line of defense against damaging winter ice dams .

---

2.  Roof Cleaning and Maintenance

Any debris collecting on your roof should be removed as soon as possible. Leaves and such trap moisture that can cause deterioration, which ultimately leads to spotty roof failure.

---

3.  Roof Inspection & Repair

Once cleaned, your roof needs a thorough inspection to be certain it’s ship-shape for the demands of the season. Unless you have professional experience, it’s always best to employ a trusted local roofing professional for this critical job. This is an excellent example of how investing a small amount of money upfront can add up to big savings soon down the road.

4.  Inspect Attic Insulation and Ventilation

While your roofing expert is checking the roof, also ask them to perform an attic insulation evaluation. An improperly insulated attic leads not only to higher energy costs, but is also a leading cause of damaging ice dams atop your roof.  

---

5.  Trim Low-Hanging Branches and Unhealthy Trees

Be proactive, and prevent your roof and home in general from winter storms. Trimming low-hanging branches and trimming down or removing unhealthy trees helps you avoid the heartache of severe damage caused by storm-torn branches falling in the most unfortunate places.

Tennessee Winter Roofing?

Winter Roofing projects: possible?

It’s just around the corner. You can practically feel the refreshing snap of those cool winter winds upon your cheeks again. As Middle Tennessee homeowners, we work hard each year to safeguard our homes and families from the challenges of wintry weather; resigning ourselves to waiting until spring to pick those nagging unfinished projects back up. It seems like there’s never enough time to get it all done. Or is there?

It’s true.

Today, incredible new technologies and procedures are literally changing the face of the professional roofing industry. What would you say if we told you that construction on your Nashville roofing project doesn’t need to be put on hold just because winter rears her chilly head? It’s true.

Winter viable for roofing and construction projects.

Here In the south, it’s especially true. Our predominantly mild winters tend to be much more manageable for all-seasons roofing and construction. Recent advancements in the technology behind the creation of today’s roofing materials have brought us products that are far more versatile and dependable in a variety of climate conditions. That means winter is now a viable season for your roofing and construction projects.

Winter’s key advantage

Interestingly, in considering when to pursue or complete your project, winter holds a key advantage over all the other seasons in one important category: COST. It makes sense when you think about it. The dramatically low demand for roofing materials as well as auxiliary roofing

crews (for larger projects) leads to winter presenting the lowest costs for materials and labor of the entire year. That’s great news for you!

A few parameters

There are a few basic rules of thumb, or parameters, we adhere to regarding winter roofing work. The first and most important is this distinction: typically, the installation of roofing systems is still relegated to spring-fall months. Roofing projects are generally performed quite successfully throughout winter months. A primary factor in this success is the practice of performing the necessary inspections and maintenance in the fall, prior to the onset of the winter season. Barring the presence of ice or snow, it is possible if absolutely necessary for this to be performed in winter months (for those who miss the fall window). Still, fall remains the recommended standard.

5 Fall Roofing Questions

ONE

Q: My roof leaks, but I’m pretty handy. What kind of roof repair work is ok for me to take care of myself, especially with winter coming?

A: For the correct answer to this question (a frequent one), you will need to check your warranty. Most roofing warranties contain some form of nullification clause stating that any work performed upon the roof by a non-professional will invalidate the warranty. Unless you are certain your warranty includes no such language, it’s not worth the risk.

TWO

Q: How do I know if my leaky roof needs to be replaced, or if repairs alone will do the trick?

A: Full roof replacement is not often necessary unless it was initially installed improperly or with insufficient materials. It does happen, but unless the roof is very old or inferior in quality, it is far

more likely that a good, thorough repair is all that you will need.

THREE

Q: Will a metal roof really last longer than an asphalt shingle roof?

A: Absolutely. Asphalt averages a lifespan of 12 - 20 years. Metal roofs, by contrast, have an average lifespan of 40 - 60 years. While installing asphalt shingles is usually less expensive than the cost of installing metal, with such a stark difference in performance and longevity, metal is the clear winner.

FOUR

Q: Do my gutters really need to be cleaned that often?

A: If you think twice a year is “that” often, then the answer is yes. For those in high debris areas with a proliferation of trees shedding leaves nearby, cleaning your gutters every season is preferable. Want to cut back on your gutter cleaning duties? Installing gutter covers dramatically reduces the proliferation of debris within.

FIVE           

Q: The tar paper beneath some of the shingles is gone. Do I need to fix it right away, or can it wait a little bit?

A: The missing felt (tar paper) is also called underlayment. It forms a seal that creates a vapor barrier between the base of your roof base, and the shingles. This performs a secondary purpose of protecting your roof from premature extinction from deterioration.
