The team here at Simpson Contracting understands that your roof is your home's first line of defense against the elements. From scorching summers to icy winters, weather takes a toll on your roofing system. Here are some insights and tips to help you weatherproof your roof for every season.
Prolonged exposure to intense sunlight can cause shingles to age prematurely and lose their protective granules.
Tips: Regularly inspect and replace damaged shingles to maintain the roof's resilience.
Heavy rain and storms can lead to water pooling, leaks, and water damage.
Tips: Ensure proper drainage by keeping gutters clean and downspouts clear. Regularly inspect your roof for damaged or missing shingles to prevent water infiltration.
Strong winds can lift and remove shingles, exposing the underlying structure to potential damage.
Tips: Periodically inspect and secure loose or lifted shingles after storms to prevent further damage.
Accumulation of snow and ice can lead to ice dams, causing water to seep into your home.
Tips: Proper insulation and ventilation help prevent ice dams. Safely remove excess snow using a roof rake, and ensure gutters are clear to allow proper drainage.
Hailstorms can cause significant damage, leading to dented or cracked shingles.
Tips: Invest in impact-resistant roofing materials. After a hailstorm, schedule a professional inspection to assess any potential damage.
