Fall has arrived, bringing crisp breezes and beautiful foliage with it — and that means winter is right around the corner. Is your roof ready? When it comes to roof repairs, early intervention saves you time and money. That means scheduling professional repair services before a small, manageable problem becomes a large, expensive one during the icy months.

Destructive winter weather can worsen existing roof damage and lead to future problems. Most homeowners understand the accumulation of snow and ice weighs heavily on their roof, which can cause structural damage from compromised shingles or leaks from ice dams. Failing shingles could also lead to water seepage the next time snow or rain is in the forecast.

The easiest way to keep your roof standing tall this winter is to make your roof is in good condition in the fall. Schedule a service visit with a roofing contractor so they can inspect your home and advise you on the integrity of your roof, as well as discuss if any repairs are necessary. This inspection typically includes checking the condition of the shingles, looking for signs of cracking and premature wear, and confirming the gutters are properly secured. If any of these roof repairs are needed, autumn’s mild weather allows a work crew to complete repairs quickly and efficiently. Early intervention saves you the hassle of trying to schedule roof repairs during the snowy season.
