Winterproof Your Roof, Beginning With a Free Inspection

Jack Frost can wreak havoc on your roof. A few preventative measures can prevent damage.

While we dread winter’s chill, there’s also an idyllic side many of us enjoy. What’s better than sipping a hot beverage by the fireplace while snow flurries dance outside the window?

But a few feet above our fireside chat, a much harsher environment exists on our rooftop. Roaring winds, rain, ice and snow pound the peaks of our homes for months on end. Harsh weather tests a roof and reveals leaks that can cause water damage and heat loss.

Hazards include:
• Accumulated debris and clogged gutters and downspouts. These can create ice dams that force water into your attic and living space.

• Missing or damaged shingles that open your home to the elements.

• Gaps around flashings (metal strips) that need to be resealed to prevent water damage and heat loss.

Fidler on the Roof KC offers free inspections to make sure your roof is winter ready. We physically inspect a roof and also use drones to get a comprehensive view. In addition, thermal image scans provide an alternative perspective, revealing any heat loss that may be occurring.

If we discover a problem, we’ll let you know about it. Regardless of what we find, there will be no charge for the inspection. If you decide to repair a problem, we’ll be happy to schedule a fix.

P.S. There’s an added benefit of prepping your roof for winter. You don’t want anything but the best landing platform for St. Nick, right? Contact us to winter-proof your roof.
