Love Your Roof, or Lose It: End-of-Season Home Checkup

February is the season of love—but what about the one thing that protects you year-round? As the month wraps up, it’s the perfect time to check in on your roof before spring storms roll in. Ignoring winter wear and tear can lead to costly surprises, so let’s break down how you can keep your home in top shape before the season changes.

1. Seal the Love—Inspect for Leaks

Winter snow, ice, and rain may have taken a toll on your roof. Water damage is sneaky, and small leaks now could turn into bigger problems later. Check your ceilings and attic for any signs of moisture, stains, or mold. If you spot something suspicious, it’s time to call in the pros.

2. Shed the Past—Clear Your Gutters

Your gutters have spent months catching debris, ice, and anything else winter threw their way. Clogged gutters lead to water buildup, which can damage both your roof and foundation. Before spring showers start, clean them out to ensure smooth drainage.

3. Avoid a Heartbreak—Check for Shingle Damage

Cold temperatures and high winds can loosen or crack shingles, leaving your roof vulnerable. Step back and look for missing, curling, or damaged shingles. A quick fix now can prevent major repairs later.

4. Give Your Roof a Fresh Start—Trim Overhanging Branches

Overgrown tree limbs can rub against your roof, damaging shingles and leading to leaks. Spring is the perfect time to trim them back before they become a bigger issue.

5. Set the Tone for a Strong Relationship—Schedule a Professional Inspection

Even if everything looks fine, a professional eye can spot potential trouble before it becomes expensive. A seasonal roof checkup is one of the best investments in long-term home care.

Don’t Fall Out of Love with Home Maintenance

Your home protects you—return the favor with a little extra care before the seasons shift. Whether it’s a quick DIY check or calling in the experts, now’s the time to make sure your roof is ready for whatever spring brings.
