Rules of Roof Maintenance

Christopher McVey • June 20, 2021

Broken shingles are a sign that your roof needs attention. Pay attention to this early sign and you'll save yourself time and money in the long run.

Make a list

Lists are great ways to stay on track. Write down some big things you want to accomplish and some smaller things, too.


Check the list regularly

Don’t forget to check in and see how you’re doing. Just because you don’t achieve the big goals right away doesn’t mean you’re not making progress.


Reward yourself

When you succeed in achieving a goal, be it a big one or a small one, make sure to pat yourself on the back.


Think positively

Positive thinking is a major factor in success. So instead of mulling over things that didn’t go quite right, remind yourself of things that did.

To prevent ice dams and protect your roof this winter, focus on key areas like insulation, ventilation, and drainage. Ensure your attic is well-insulated to minimize heat loss, seal gaps with caulk, and maintain proper airflow to prevent uneven roof heating. Regularly clear snow and check for signs of water pooling or large icicles, which indicate potential ice dams. Keep gutters clean and consider installing gutter guards to ensure meltwater drains properly. For added protection, explore options like heated roof cables or panels. Stay informed about the weather to plan timely snow removal. Consulting with professional roofers can provide tailored solutions to keep your home safe and secure throughout the winter.
