How to Keep Your Roof Safe in Wintertime?

In Massachusetts, keeping your roof safe during the wintertime can be a challenge. StormCare Roofing is here to help  guide you through this winter season. The winter brings ice and snow, which can cause ice dams to form in your gutters and lead to general damage on your roof.

Inspect and Repair the Roof

Contact StormCare Roofing to inspect your roof, especially if it's older, to identify and address any minor issues. If you see any issues with your roof such as cracked shingles or worn flashing, it's best to address them before they become major problems.

Improve Attic Insulation and Ventilation

Proper insulation prevents heat from escaping your home and warming the roof, while effective ventilation with soffit and ridge vents keeps your roof deck cold. This helps prevent the formation of ice dams.​

Clean Gutters and Trim Branches

Clean out gutters and downspouts to ensure water can drain properly. Keeping the water flowing out of your gutters prevents and buildup that can lead to gutter damage. Also, trim any tree branches that hang over your roof to prevent them from breaking and causing damage during storms.
