Winter weather can wreak havoc on your roof. It’s a good idea to do a full inspection before the severe weather hits and roof repairs are complicated by ice, snow, and storms. Price & Sons Roofing Co. in Kernersville, NC has been in business for over 30 years and is well aware of the importance of roof maintenance—especially in the winter months.

Start by doing a visual check of your roof. Pay close attention to areas around your chimney or skylight. Be on the lookout for broken shingles or loose materials. Next, inspect your gutters and drain spouts, and make sure they’re properly cleaned out. You don’t want ice to accumulate in your gutters, because that can spell disaster for your roof.

It’s also important to take care of any leaks you’re aware of before winter hits. A roof repair can take a lot longer under wet or icy conditions. Water damage or dark spots probably point to a dreaded roof leak that will need to be addressed.

Take a journey into your attic and inspect the health of your roof from below. Look at the joists. If there are any sagging areas of your roof, or if you can see light coming through from outside, those are definite red flags, and they'll need immediate attention.

By taking these simple roof maintenance steps before the onset of winter, you’ll likely extend the life of your roof. Of course, all roofs do eventually need to be replaced.
