Winter is unquestionably the hardest season on your roof. Is your roof ready to stand up to whatever Old Man Winter chooses to dish out upon Middle Tennessee this year? We know some of you have simply been too busy to get there. That’s why we’ve put together this helpful list of 5 Steps to Getting Your Roof Ready for Winter. Still need some help? No problem. At Tennessee Residential Roofing and Construction, we’re here for you. Just give us a call!
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.
