Don’t let the winter cause major headaches in home repairs. Your home’s first line of defense against the elements is the roof, and a poorly maintained roof could start causing problems that quickly become expensive.
Are you prepared for the harsh winter weather? Issues with your roof that might have seemed small during the summer might become major issues once moisture and freezing temperatures are involved. Before the ice comes, you might want to inspect your roof to see if it’s in need of repairs before winter sets in.
If you see any signs of broken, curled, or missing shingles, you’ll want to get it fixed as soon as possible. You should also check if the caulking is still sealed, or–if you have a flat roof–any ponding water. These are all signs that your roof is in need of repairs or replacing.
Don’t be afraid to hire a professional to check for you. If these issues are left unrepaired, you run the risk of exposing your home to more damage from a leaking roof, or other issues. Ignoring the signs of a bad roof could cost you more in the long run, especially if mould begins to grow as a result.
Depending on the exact issue it doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to replace the entire roof. It could be a simple repair that will help your roof stay maintained and keep you and your home protected.
