Winter roofing damage can cause serious problems for homeowners both when it occurs and during the following spring. Between heavy snowfall weighing on your roof and hail battering it during ice storms, the structure can look a little worse for wear once the weather begins to clear. It can be tempting to put off a new installation, but it’s important to have it taken care of before spring. 

Winter Wear

RoofingEach winter, your roofing insulation keeps your home or business warm, and the roofing itself keeps everything inside safe and dry. Don’t try to go through a winter with a damaged roof, or you might find that your heating costs increase and you have to deal with leakage during snow melt. The more damage roofing sustains before replacement, the more extensive and expensive the replacement job can become, as damage extends to insulation, gutters, and other components of the structure. 

Spring Rain

Once winter weather clears and temperatures begin to warm up, you might feel like you’re out of the woods when it comes to protecting your home or business. But the demands on your roofing are just beginning. Spring can bring heavy rains that put pressure on the structure and gutters. Both keep water out of your attic and from around the foundation, and putting off a new roof can mean leaks and expensive repair jobs. Because a new installation will help you avoid these problems, it will be cheaper in the long run than dealing with damages.
