As the temperatures begin to drop, it’s easy to focus on cozying up inside your home — but before you do, it’s important to make sure your roof is ready to handle what winter brings.

Cold Weather = Roof Contraction

During the winter months, your roof naturally contracts as temperatures fall. This movement can cause stress on shingles, flashing, and sealants — especially if your roof already has minor damage. Small cracks, lifted shingles, or worn areas that go unnoticed in the fall can quickly turn into leaks once freezing weather hits.

Leaks Can Cause Major Damage

Even a small leak can lead to big problems when left unchecked. Water intrusion during winter can result in:

• Interior water damage and ceiling stains
• Mold or mildew growth in attic spaces
• Compromised insulation and energy loss
• Structural damage to decking or rafters

By the time you notice the signs, it’s often too late to avoid costly repairs.
