Roof Ready: Spotting the Signs of Winter Wear
Winter can be tough on roofs, from heavy snow to freezing temperatures. Identifying signs of damage early can save you from costly repairs later. Whether you have a shingle roof or a metal roof, regular inspections are essential to ensure your home stays protected. Here’s how to check for winter roof damage and why you should trust Kline Home Exteriors for expert replacements.
How to Inspect Your Roof for Winter Damage
- Look for Missing or Damaged Shingles
High winds and ice can tear shingles off or cause them to curl. In Massillon, OH, we replaced a weathered shingle roof with a durable GAF Timberline system to ensure lasting protection. - Check for Ice Dams
Ice dams can lead to water pooling and seepage under your roof. Look for ridges of ice along your roof’s edges or gutters. Proper insulation and ventilation, as installed in Dellroy, OH, can help prevent this issue. - Inspect Flashing and Seals
Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights can loosen or crack during freezing weather. In Steubenville, OH, we repaired damaged flashing and installed a new metal roof for maximum durability. - Examine the Attic
Look for water stains, drips, or sagging insulation in your attic. This can indicate leaks or insufficient ventilation. In Norwalk, OH, we replaced a shingle roof and reinforced attic insulation to eliminate potential issues. - Assess the Gutters
Heavy snow and ice can strain gutters, pulling them away from the roofline. In New Concord, OH, we replaced a metal roof and paired it with new gutters to ensure proper drainage.
