Managing Winter Snow Weight in Michigan for Improved Roof Maintenance

Contents

Roofing Snow Weight On Roof

As it keeps snowing in the winter, the excess snow might end up putting a lot of pressure on your roof and the entire structure of your home. The added surface tension, as well as the moisture and cold temperature can not only damage the surface of the roof, but also lead to problems with flashing, underlayment and decking, as well as the overall structural integrity of your house, affecting doors, windows and even your walls.

 

The many problems brought by snow in the wintertime can be resolved by simply shoveling it off your roof. However, in order for that to work properly, you will need to perform some preventive maintenance done by Port Huron roofing experts on your home as well.

 

Before the winter freeze sets in, it’s a good idea to check for leaks, damaged shingles and flashing, and insulation and ventilation quality. Hiring an expert roofer to perform a full roofing inspection can also be great.

 

Once the freeze sets in, if your roof is in good condition, then removing any excess snow from it will not lead to any further problems. Moreover, with proper ventilation and a good gutter system to back it up, the formation of ice dams can also be prevented, and you can rest assured that your home will be able to withstand further rainfall before the spring arrives.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and stress free is how I would describe my experience with Roof One. From first call, a representative actually answers the phone with a friendly welcome. Jason was prompt and quick to come out and give a detailed consultation. Antonio’s crew was amazing! Not only were they on time, but a few minutes early. They made sure to walk me through the process and didn’t leave until the job was complete. Scott helped work with my insurance adjuster and went out of his way to make sure I was completely satisfied. Bill and Sandra in the office treated me like family and Steve, the owner, was very kind and welcomed me to the Roof One family. Phenomenal Job Roof One, my family and I couldn’t be happier - Thank you!

From the beginning to the end, Roof one really impressed me regarding their professionalism when roofing my house. In particular Steve and Mark managed this job wonderfully. The crew they sent over did such a wonderful quality job and made sure my property was free of nails and debris. I would definitely hire this company for a roof job. Very straight forward with their prices and options. I was also grateful they hooked up vent fans and provided a gorgeous flashing for my large chimney. Good job guys! Wish there were more contractors like you!
