Is your roof ready for the fall? Take proactive steps to prepare your roof now to avoid costly repairs and energy bills. Let’s explore the essential steps.
Where Does Roof Prep Start?
- Remove Debris & Clean Gutters
Roofing longevity can depend on cleanliness. By removing leaves and gutters, you can prevent leaks, cracked shingles, and water pooling that leads to later structural issues. We recommend trimming branches to reduce the likelihood of damage.
- Assess Your Attic
Roof damage can lead to water damage. By regularly checking your attic, you can stay proactive about finding leaks, rotting, or other damage from insects and rodents.
- Schedule An Inspection
The next step to preparing your roof is scheduling an inspection. Roofing contractors will provide a detailed report that includes repair recommendations, damage costs, and materials. Most contractors will coordinate with your insurer to verify your coverage.
Benefits of Prepping in the Fall
- Energy Efficiency During the Winter
Keep your home warm this winter with roof prep. Damaged shingles, frost damage, leaks, thermal shock, and condensation are common problems that allow air to escape through your roof, jacking up your energy bill. Schedule a roofing inspection to ensure that your roof is in top condition before the first cold front.
- Peace of Mind Before Holidays
Stay ahead of the curve. Whether you have a big trip planned or want to host guests for a holiday get-together, schedule roofing maintenance to keep your peace of mind before the holiday festivities commence. By maintaining your roof in the fall, you can keep your focus on holiday planning.
- Minimize Disruptions & Maximize Results
Fall is the optimal season for roofing repair and replacement. Receiving roofing services in the fall reduces the likelihood of disruption from severe or cold weather, ensuring a quick turnaround with minimal disturbances to your schedule.
By following these steps and scheduling a professional roof inspection, you can ensure your roof is in optimal condition for the winter months ahead. Don’t wait until it’s too late! If you’re in Lubbock, Clovis, or Midland, contact us today to schedule your inspection.
