Winter weather can be brutal on your home, and your roof takes the hardest hit.
Between snow, ice, and frigid temperatures, even a small issue can turn into costly damage if it’s not caught early. Just like maintaining a hoop house helps farmers safeguard crops through harsh seasons, proactive winter prep can help homeowners protect their roof before winter conditions take over.
What You Can Do to Protect Your Roof This Winter
1. Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection
A pre- or mid-winter inspection identifies early problems—like loose shingles, poor insulation, or clogged gutters—before severe weather makes them worse. This is one of the most effective steps for roof maintenance Ann Arbor homeowners can take.
2. Improve Attic Insulation & Ventilation
Good airflow prevents ice dams and reduces condensation. Proper insulation also minimizes your heating bill—making this step a win-win for comfort and roof longevity.
3. Keep Gutters Clear
Clogged gutters cause water to back up and freeze, increasing the risk of ice dams. Regular cleaning (or installing gutter guards) keeps meltwater flowing where it should.
