Prepare Your Roof for Fall/Winter

Why Seasonal Roof Maintenance is Key

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against harsh weather. Falling leaves, heavy rains, and winter winds can all take a toll on the structure of your roof, leading to leaks, damaged shingles, or worse. Routine maintenance in the fall can help prevent these issues before they become costly problems.

Top Roof Maintenance Tips for Fall/Winter

  1. Clear Away Debris

    • Leaves, branches, and other debris can collect on your roof and in your gutters. When this debris isn’t removed, it can trap moisture and lead to mold growth, gutter clogs, and even roof leaks.
    • Tip: Clear gutters regularly and remove any debris from the roof surface. If you’re unable to do it yourself, we’re here to help with an inspection to ensure your roof is clean and clear.
  2. Inspect and Repair Shingles

    • Look for loose, missing, or damaged shingles that could lead to water damage. Harsh winter winds can loosen compromised shingles even further, putting your home at risk.
    • Tip: If you spot any issues, don’t wait! Schedule an appointment with AK Certified Roofing to ensure your roof is in top condition.
  3. Check Flashing Around Chimneys, Skylights, and Vents

    • Flashing is the material used around roof penetrations to prevent water from entering your home. Over time, flashing can wear down, increasing the risk of leaks.
    • Tip: Our RoofSure Care Plan includes an in-depth inspection of all flashing areas to ensure they’re securely sealed.
  4. Examine Attic Ventilation

    • Proper attic ventilation is crucial for managing moisture and preventing ice dams during colder months. An inspection can reveal any ventilation issues that might need addressing.
    • Tip: If you notice excess humidity in your attic, let us know. We can help optimize your ventilation to prevent mold, mildew, and ice dam buildup.
  5. Get a Professional Inspection

    • Even with regular maintenance, certain issues are best identified by roofing professionals. An inspection from AK Certified Roofing will give you peace of mind and help catch small issues before they turn into big problems.
