While most homeowners do not pay as much attention to home improvements and repairs on the exterior of the home during the winter, it’s essential to spring into action once the seasons start to change. A roof inspection is especially important, as the structure was exposed to harsh weather conditions over several months. The professionals at Z&H Enterprises in Lincoln, NE, recommend having a roof evaluation completed following each winter season. Below, they explain why now is the ideal time for these services. 

Properly Assess Winter Damage

Although your roof is left vulnerable to many hazards year-round, winter can be a particularly destructive season. Snow, hail, ice, strong winds, and falling tree branches may leave a roof in poor condition. Often, these environmental elements result in damage to flashing, loose roofing materials, excess granule loss, missing or compromised shingles, leaks, broken gutters/downspouts. A roof inspection at the end of the winter season can identify signs of these issues so prompt solutions can be implemented prior to spring rains.

Avoid Busy Roofing Schedules

Another reason it’s a good idea to have your roof inspected post-winter is because roofing companies tend to have more time in their schedule. The summer and fall months are typically the peak season for these projects, making it more difficult to find space on a contractor’s calendar. By scheduling now, you’re more likely to get an appointment in a timely manner and have problems addressed before they get worse or damage occurs to the home’s interior finishes.  

Getting a roof inspection after winter will allow you to catch problems that may have developed during the season. The team at Z&H Enterprises has seen the detrimental effects the cold season can have on these important structures and is equipped to help you recover from any issues that may be detected.
