Every Christmas Eve, a certain somebody travels from house to house, landing on rooftops to deliver gifts. But, is your roof strong enough to withstand a sleigh full of’/ presents? Can your chimney handle a large man climbing through it? Will reindeer hoofs crack right through your shingles?
In all seriousness, while we might be joking about Santa, the weight your roof withstands during the winter is no joke. The cold season puts quite a bit of stress on your roof. So the holiday season is the perfect time to make sure your home is ready for the frigid temperatures and accompanying weather.
Winter really is hard on your roof, and with recent snow fall, heavy winds, and ice buildup, it is essential to ensure that your home is ready to deal with the intensity.
Heavy snow can weigh down on your roof. Clogged gutters, filled with snow, can prevent melted snow from draining from the roof. Melting snow can refreeze into ice dams. Cold weather can make older shingles brittle.
So, how can you easily get your roof holiday ready?
We recommend starting with a professional roof inspection. The good news is that we offer free inspections, so you can schedule one with us without any cost or anything to lose. We want to make sure your home is as safe as possible in the winter. Even if Santa is not marching across your roof with a bag full of presents, we know the risks that come with the holiday season.
Keep yourself and your family safe. Call us today.
