As winter approaches, it’s crucial to ensure your home is properly protected from the elements. Philly Roofing offers top-tier roofing services to safeguard your home from winter storms, ice dams, and leaks. With over 20 years of experience in roofing, our team is ready to help you protect your investment.
1. Inspect Your Roof for Leaks or Damage
Before the snow falls, schedule a roof inspection. Leaky roofs are more likely to cause issues during the winter months, leading to water damage, mold, and costly repairs. According to the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), early inspections can catch damage before it becomes a bigger problem (NRCA – Winter Roofing Tips).
If you notice missing shingles, damaged flashing, or clogged gutters, it’s essential to call a professional roofer to address the issue before winter.
2. Install Ice and Water Shield
Ice dams are a common problem in cold climates, but they can be prevented with the right roofing materials. Installing ice and water shield is essential for preventing leaks caused by ice buildup along your roof’s edge. Philly Roofing can help you install this protective layer, ensuring your roof withstands the cold weather.
3. Consider Energy-Efficient Roofing
Upgrading to energy-efficient roofing materials, like cool roofs or reflective shingles, can keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. These roofing solutions help regulate your home’s temperature, reducing energy bills. You can learn more about energy-efficient roofing through resources like Energy Star (Energy Star – Cool Roofs).
