As the leaves change and temperatures drop, it’s the perfect time to give your roof a little attention. Preparing your home for the colder months now can help prevent costly damage later. Here are a few fall roof maintenance tips to keep your home safe and sound:
- Clean Out Gutters and Downspouts
Fallen leaves and debris can clog your gutters, causing water to back up and damage your roof or siding. Clear them out to keep water flowing freely. - Inspect for Damaged Shingles
Check for cracked, curling, or missing shingles. Even small issues can lead to leaks once snow and ice arrive. - Trim Overhanging Branches
Branches hanging over your roof can scrape shingles and drop debris. Trim them back to prevent damage and reduce the chance of falling limbs during storms. - Check Flashing and Sealants
Ensure the flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights is secure. Reseal any areas that look worn or cracked to prevent leaks. - Schedule a Professional Inspection
Sometimes, damage isn’t easy to spot from the ground. A professional inspection from Dennis & Sons Contracting can identify issues early and ensure your roof is ready for winter.
A little maintenance now goes a long way in protecting your home. If you notice any signs of wear or need a roof inspection this fall, the team at Dennis & Sons Contracting is here to help.
