Prepare Your Residential Roof for the Cold Months Ahead

Winter is right around the corner, and for St. Louis homeowners, that means it’s time to ensure your roof is ready to handle snow, ice, and freezing temperatures. A little preparation now can save you from costly repairs later.

Inspect for Damage

Look for missing or damaged shingles, sagging areas, and cracked flashing. These issues can allow water or ice to seep in, causing leaks or structural damage.

Bade Tip: Schedule a professional inspection to catch problems early. Bade Roofing’s experts can pinpoint and fix hidden issues before they worsen.

Clean Your Gutters

Clogged gutters can lead to ice dams, which force water under your shingles and into your home. Clear out leaves and debris to ensure proper drainage.

Check Attic Insulation

Proper attic insulation prevents heat from escaping your home and reduces the risk of ice dams forming on your roof. Ensure your attic is adequately insulated and ventilated.

Trim Overhanging Branches

Heavy snow and ice can weigh down tree branches, causing them to snap and damage your roof. Trim any branches near your home to minimize the risk.

Schedule Maintenance

A professional maintenance check can identify and resolve small issues that might become major problems during the winter.
