This Is Why Snow Removal Is Crucial

When December hits, you know the drill in New England: snow and ice spread everywhere. Even your roof can face severe impact. While you may believe your roof can withstand plenty of snow piling on top of it, roof contractors insist that you don’t ignore the issue. If you take the time to get snow removed from your roof, you’ll be much happier and safer in the long run. Leaving snow on a roof has negative, dangerous consequences.

Home damage

As snow continues to pile on top of your roof, it weighs down on its structure. Eventually, the structure will crumble, and your roof will hit your home. Property damage is a guarantee at this point, and you’ll have to deal with rebuilding your home due to the neglect. It’s not worth it to wait.

Mold growth

Moisture is probably the most prominent catalyst for mold growth. So, as you can imagine, a leaky roof makes mold grow at a substantial rate! Even if snow doesn’t weigh down on your roof yet, you should call roof contractors to get it removed, so it doesn’t seep in and cause excess mold growth.

Save money

It’s hard to justify spending money on a service that seems a bit frivolous. After all, you can just climb up to your roof and shovel it off, right? Not so. Not only is going DIY in this case dangerous, but it can also cause more problems when done improperly. Plus, if you outright ignore snow, it will cause structural damage that requires plenty of money to remedy. A one-time service is well worth it and saves you money in the long run!

Snow is becoming part of daily life for New Englanders now, so it’s essential to keep an eye on your roof and call roof contractors when too much snow piles on top of it.

Why the Fall is your best time to get a roof replacement

If you have been thinking of replacing your roof, the Fall is the best time to do it. The summer can bring storms and rain and the winter, of course, would never be the right time unless it is an emergency. Make sure to set up the replacement earlier in the summer months because your roofing contractor will likely be replacing many a roof between September and November.

How to Prepare Your Roof for Winter

As the harsh New England winter approaches, it is important to note that the severe weather, along with the moisture, snow and ice, can cause your roof to take as serious a pounding as the treacherous winter roads. It is important to meet with your roofing professional to put together a plan that will ensure that your roof will keep your family safe from the elements all winter long.

Roof leaks are not as easy to locate as you think

If there is one thing that can ruin a home owner’s day, it is a leak, or multiple leaks, in the roof. As your roofing contractor can tell you, it isn’t always an easy thing to locate a leak but finding it is critical to your home’s continued survival.
