Spring has finally arrived! This means you will have to get your roof cleared and cleaned from the leftover winter season. A long snowy winter can leave your roof with missing shingles, mold, and leaks so Inspecting your roof after the long winter season to see how your roof has been impacted by snow and ice is essential to a healthy roof. In this article the roofers from ACCL Roofer have provided you with four steps to help your get your roofing spring checklist started.
- Review your shingles/flashings:
Spotting areas of missing or broken shingles can leave the underlying wood susceptible to holes, rotting, and other damages. Shingles mostly get their wear and tear from rainfall, temperature, snow, and aging causing them to curl up and wear down. You should also check for signs that your flashing is buckling or tearing away from your roof. Ensuring you patch or replace some shingles will help you ensure your roof lasts longer.
- Cleaning out your gutters:
Cleaning your gutter system at least twice a year in the spring and fall seasons will prevent any water damage that can occur when they are clogged. It also helps prevent corrosion which could lead to costly repairs or a gutter replacement. Therefore, it’s a good idea to clean your gutters regularly.
- Checking the Inside your attic and home:
Checking your attic and ceilings for signs of water damage, leaks, and mold. Or if you see staining or smell mildew. You should call a professional roofer so they can find the exact cause of the damage in order to make a repair quickly.

If you notice the nearby trees have grown and tree branches are starting to hang around your roof, you should hire a professional to cut back vegetation so you can protect any damages from happening to your roof. Not only will this help prevent your roof from any damages, but it will also help keep your gutters free of leaf a debris.
