Seasonal Considerations
- Spring: Clean debris from winter, check for damage from ice dams
- Summer: Monitor for heat damage and UV exposure
- Fall: Clear leaves and prepare for winter weather
- Winter: Monitor ice dam formation and snow load
Professional Tip: Regular maintenance can extend your roof's lifespan by 10-15 years. Schedule professional inspections every 2-3 years.
