Many Treasure Valley homeowners discover a wide variety of problems with their roof during the winter. These include ice dams, condensation, and damaged shingles and flashing. That’s why fall is the perfect time to prepare your roof for the upcoming winter. This is especially true if you’re already facing issues that should be handled as soon as possible.
At Madison Roofing, our Boise roofers have put together the following list of winter roofing repairs you should do now to get you through the cold months ahead.
Winter Roofing Repairs You Should Do Now
Gutter Maintenance
Gutters are essential in keeping your roof dry during the winter months. That’s why your gutters should be inspected and maintained to check for any signs of damage. Clogged or ripped away gutters and downspouts won’t drain rain or snowmelt away from your home, leading to further damage. That’s why it’s important to ensure they aren’t clogged by leaves, branches, and other debris before winter hits. You should also have any damaged gutters professionally repaired or replaced.
Flashing & Chimney Repairs
Many roof leaks occur where a roof meets skylights, chimneys, or a home’s siding. That’s why it’s important to have these areas professionally inspected to check for holes, cracks, or other signs of damage. The Boise roofers at Madison roofing are likely to handle any repairs of this kind during an inspection.
Shingle Repairs
If your roof has damaged shingles, it’s essential to have them repaired as soon as possible. Left ignored, you could end up with a leaky roof over the course of the winter, potentially causing serious structural damage to your home. Shingles can be repaired or replaced at any point in the year. However, it’s important to hire professional Boise roofers to prevent further damage to already-fragile roofing materials. At Madison Roofing, we will have no problem with this task.
Roof Replacement
Despite the weather, most roofs can be replaced regardless of the season. However, it’s much easier to get the job done during the fall before winter hits because shingles will be more flexible and easier to cut and place. This is especially true for flat roofs because the adhesives used in flat roofing are temperature-dependent.
