Winter in Buffalo comes fast. One unprepared roof can lead to leaks, structural issues, or even interior water damage. Fall is the ideal time for homeowners to tackle maintenance tasks that prevent winter emergencies.
Leaves, twigs, and other debris trap moisture, leading to ice buildup on your roof and in gutters. A clear path ensures proper drainage and reduces the risk of water damage during freeze-thaw cycles.
Check for cracked, curling, or missing shingles. Pay close attention to valleys, chimneys, vents, and skylights where leaks often begin. Replace damaged shingles and reseal flashing as needed.
Heavy snow can weigh down tree limbs, causing them to break and damage your roof. Trim branches that could fall on your home during winter storms.
Improper airflow leads to condensation and ice dam formation. Ensure vents are clear and functioning properly to keep your roof structure dry.
Certified roofers can identify weak spots, worn materials, and potential leaks that are easy to miss. A professional inspection before winter can save you thousands in repair costs.
