With every endless snowfall in Minnesota, it’s hard to believe that spring will ever come. But, it will. And when it does, that’s your time to get up on home repairs — literally. Spring is the perfect time to focus on your roof.
Old Man Winter is Mean
During winter, your roof is exposed to more than just harsh elements. Ice dams, heavy snow, and roof raking can cause significant damage to your roof — affecting your home’s integrity. A spring roof inspection can help you identify and mitigate issues before they turn into expensive repairs.
See the Warning Signs
How do you know the health of your roof? If you’ve looked up at your ceiling this winter and noticed bubbling drywall tape, damp areas, mold growth, or water streaks on the walls, chances are your roof has experienced stress that needs to be addressed soon. Seeing missing shingles is also a sure sign your roof has seen better days. All of these warning signs should not be ignored, as they could indicate more significant issues. By identifying these problems early, you can prevent further damage to your roof and your home.
