With spring just around the corner, it's time to start preparing your roofing and gutters for the change of seasons. As the cold and winter weather begin to retreat, you can spruce up your home's exterior and make sure everything is functional and attractive for the months ahead. Below are a few tips to help you accomplish this.

Inspect Your Roof & Gutters for Damage

Autumn leaves, tree blooms, and other organic matter can clog up gutters and give you a significant headache come the first spring shower. During winter, heavy snows and winter storms might damage a roof, creating leaks, buckling, and sagging. As you go about preparing your roofing and gutter system for springtime, make an inspection of the premises your top priority. Check your gutters and roof carefully, or call in a professional contractor to tackle the job for you.

Clear Away Debris

guttersNow you can commence your outdoor spring cleaning. Clear away any and all debris that might be stuck in your gutters, and remove any foreign objects that may have landed on your roof over the winter. Consider installing Leaf Relief® gutter guards. They ensure your gutter system works efficiently by filtering out leaves and other matter and allowing the water to channel out and away from the structure.

Check Your Attic

If there's a problem with your roof that you can't see from the outside, chances are you'll be able to see the problem from inside the attic. As part of your spring preparations, go into your attic and perform an inspection of the ceiling and walls. Look for any holes, cracks, sags, or leaks. During winter, ice dams can easily develop on roofs, causing water to back up into the attic. If you see no signs of moisture or damage, you're probably good to go for spring. If you do spot something, or even just suspect something might be wrong, consider it a sign that you should call a roofing contractor.
