Year-Round Roofing Considerations
• Regular Inspections: Schedule bi-annual roof inspections, particularly before winter and after spring thaw
• Gutter Maintenance: Keep gutters clear of debris to prevent ice dams and water damage
• Ventilation: Ensure proper attic ventilation to regulate temperature and moisture levels
• Shingle Assessment: Check for loose, damaged, or missing shingles regularly
