 Spring: Inspect for Winter Damage

Spring is the perfect time to assess how your roof held up over the winter.

Checklist:

  • Look for missing or damaged shingles

  • Check flashing and sealants around vents and chimneys

  • Clean out gutters and downspouts

  • Inspect attic for signs of leaks or moisture

Spring showers can quickly expose hidden issues—so address any problems early before they get worse.


 Summer: Prevent Heat and Storm Damage

With high temperatures and unpredictable storms, summer puts your roof to the test.

Checklist:

  • Trim back tree branches near your roof

  • Check for signs of UV damage or shingle blistering

  • Ensure proper attic ventilation to reduce heat buildup

  • Schedule a mid-year roof inspection if you missed spring

Thunderstorms and high winds can loosen shingles and cause debris buildup, so a quick check after big storms is smart.


 Fall: Prepare for Ice and Snow

Fall is your last chance to prep your roof for winter—and it’s one of the most important seasons for maintenance.

Checklist:

  • Remove leaves, twigs, and debris from gutters and valleys

  • Check for deteriorating caulking or flashing

  • Look for soft spots or sagging areas

  • Schedule a professional inspection before freezing temps set in

A clean, well-maintained roof is more likely to withstand the weight of snow and the expansion of ice.


 Winter: Monitor & Maintain Safely

Winter isn’t ideal for roofing work, but it’s crucial to monitor your roof’s performance.

Checklist:

  • Watch for ice dams forming on edges

  • Check ceilings for new stains or drips

  • Use a roof rake (from the ground) to remove excess snow

  • Call a professional for emergency repairs—don’t climb on a snowy roof!
