As the seasons change, it’s important to ensure that your roof is in top condition to protect your home from the elements. Velarium Roofing & Restoration is here to share expert advice on a seasonal roof maintenance checklist to keep your roof in tip-top shape throughout the year.

Spring:

1. Check for any signs of winter damage such as missing or loose shingles, ice dams, or debris buildup. Address these issues promptly to prevent further damage.

2. Clean out gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage and prevent water damage.

3. Trim overhanging tree branches to prevent them from causing damage to your roof during spring storms.

Summer:

1. Inspect your roof for any signs of wear and tear, such as cracked or curling shingles. Replace any damaged shingles to prevent leaks.

2. Check for moss or algae growth on your roof and treat it promptly to prevent damage to your shingles.

3. Ensure your attic is properly ventilated to prevent heat buildup, which can cause shingles to deteriorate.

Fall:

1. Clear your roof of leaves and debris to prevent them from clogging gutters and causing water damage.

2. Inspect your roof for any loose or damaged flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights. Replace any damaged flashing to prevent leaks.

3. Check for any signs of water damage or leaks in your attic and address them promptly.

Winter:

1. Keep snow and ice buildup to a minimum by using a roof rake to safely remove excess snow.

2. Check for any signs of ice dams forming on your roof and address them promptly to prevent water damage.

3. Ensure your attic is properly insulated to prevent heat loss, which can lead to ice dams and other winter roofing issues.
