Why You Should Weatherproof Your Roof
Your roof is your property’s first line of defense against the elements. From harsh winters to scorching summers, it endures constant exposure to weather that can lead to wear and tear over time. Weatherproofing your roof not only extends its lifespan but also protects your home or business from costly repairs.
How to Tackle Seasonal Roof Challenges
Each season brings different challenges for your roof. Here's how to manage these weather-related issues year-round:
- Winter: Winter weather can lead to ice dams and leaks. Keep your roof safe by removing snow and ensuring gutters are clear of ice.
- Spring: Heavy rains and storms in the spring can lead to roof issues. Regular inspections and proper drainage will prevent water damage.
- Summer: The heat of summer can stress your roof. Check for damage and make sure ventilation is optimal to prevent roof damage from heat expansion.
- Fall: Falling leaves and debris can clog gutters, leading to water damage. Clean gutters regularly and inspect for any signs of wear before winter arrives.

Follow these expert weatherproofing tips to extend the life of your roof and protect your home from the elements:
