So, we’re going to go through the main reasons you should inspect your roof before winter:

  • Check Your Roof for Damages
  • Reinforce for the Cold Weather
  • Avoid Long Waiting Lists
  • Lower Your Energy Bills 

Check for Damages

The first reason you should inspect your roof is pretty obvious: if there’s anything wrong with your roof system, an inspection will uncover the problem. If your roof is already damaged, there’s a bigger risk of it sustaining more damage or allowing other parts of your home to get damaged because it can’t effectively protect it from the elements.

So, inspecting it before winter gives you the chance to handle any roof repairs before the bad weather strikes.

Reinforce for Winter

Even if nothing is wrong with your roof, it’s still a good idea to know where it stands in terms of durability and overall functionality. This also gives you the chance to winterize your roof, so it’s in even better condition for the cold months ahead. 

Between the cold temperatures, snow, hailstorms, and high winds, the winter months can take a huge toll on your roof, and since it’s your home’s main defense against the elements, it’s important that it’s in good condition at all times.

If your is reaching the end of its lifespan or simply looking a little worse for wear, it may be in your best interest to replace it and have a new, strong roof system to shield your property from the worst of the weather.

Lower Your Bills

On top of protecting your property from potential impacts and other damages, it also helps to regulate your interior temperature and keep your space comfortable and consistent throughout the year.

As your roof begins to deteriorate, it provides less and less effective insulation, which means your HVAC system has to work harder to heat your home. By making updates or replacing your roof before the weather drops, you can take the strain off your heater and lower your energy bills.

Avoid Long Wait Times

Spring is one of the more popular times for roof inspections because people want to make sure nothing was damaged. So, if you want to avoid the rush of people trying to work on their roof, schedule your inspection for right before winter.
