Now that the winter season is in full swing, you need to do everything you can to protect your home from the elements. However, preventative roofing maintenance is not exactly common knowledge for the average homeowner. Luckily, the experts at Rodriguez Roofing have provided high-quality residential roofing services to homeowners in and around Kannapolis, NC, for over twelve years.

Here, they share a few winter roofing tips to help avoid costly damage to your roof this season:

• Remove Debris From Roof: Especially after heavy rain or winds, remove any leaves or branches that have collected on your roof. If unaddressed, debris will accumulate, collect moisture, and damage the underlying shingles or roofing material.
• Clean The Gutters: Debris can also weigh down your gutters and cause damage to the drainage system as a whole. Cleaning out your gutters on a regular basis will prevent blockages, ice dams, and icicles from forming.
• Repair Shingle Damage: While you’re at it, look for any cracked, deformed or missing shingles on your roof. Repair any damage before the holes have the opportunity to develop into major leaks.
• Seal Caulk Joints: Call a professional to inspect your roof and seal any exposed nail heads, deteriorating shingles, or pipe flashings. These quick fixes will prevent water from seeping into your home.
• Inspect The Structure Of Your Roof: Especially if you live in an older home, it’s essential to have a professional check the roof. Ask your contractor to ensure the structure is sound and can withstand the load of a heavy snowfall.
