Essential Winter Roof Maintenance Tips for Denver Homes

Winter in Denver brings unique challenges for your roof. From heavy snowfall to freeze-thaw cycles, proper maintenance is essential to prevent expensive damage.

Pre-Winter Roof Inspection

Schedule a professional inspection before the first snowfall. We check for loose shingles, damaged flashing, and gutter problems that could worsen in winter.

Clean Your Gutters Thoroughly

Clogged gutters cause ice dams, which can force water under your shingles. Clear all debris and ensure downspouts direct water away from your foundation.

Trim Overhanging Branches

Heavy snow can cause branches to break and damage your roof. Trim trees before winter storms arrive to prevent costly repairs.

Check Attic Insulation

Poor insulation causes uneven roof temperatures, leading to ice dams. Proper insulation keeps your home warm and your roof protected.

Install Heating Cables

Heating cables prevent ice dam formation in vulnerable areas like valleys and eaves. We can install these before winter arrives.

Monitor for Ice Dams

Watch for icicles along your eaves - they indicate ice dam formation. Contact us immediately if you notice signs of ice damming.

Professional Winter Maintenance

Don't wait for problems to develop. Our winter maintenance plans keep your roof in top condition throughout the cold months.
