With the holiday season fast approaching, the last thing homeowners want to worry about is their roof. However, roof repair during the month of December is one of the busiest times for a roofing contractor in MA. Before Mother Nature unleashes her best, it’s time to take care of those much needed repairs that you’ve been putting aside. Here’s a look at the most common roofing repairs that our team partakes in during December:
Shingle repairs
Whether your shingles have finally dislodged from an ongoing problem or were suddenly ripped off during a storm, waiting until the spring could prove a big mistake. Shingle repair, even in the snow, is imperative in avoiding water damage within the home. Installers can use caulking or other bonding materials to ensure a proper seal since natural heating won’t be an option.
Flashing repairs
Another source of interior water damage can come from the roof flashing. Again, this damage may occur due to intense storms or material damage. Cracks, holes, and other signs of damage can be repaired in temperatures that above freezing.
Gutter repair
Like your flashing and roofing material, gutters help to keep the interior of your home protected from water damage. If your gutters are blocked or cracked, it’s imperative to address the situation early in the winter months. A buildup of ice can lead to later water damage.
Roof replacement
Yes, you read that right. Roof replacement, although there will be obstacles, is a possible solution for your home during the winter. However, it’s important to realize that asphalt shingles become harder to cut and seal in cold temperatures, so replacement may not always be the ideal solution.
Contrary to common belief, roof repair is a possibility during winter. However, it’s always best if repair work is handled before the dangerous conditions set in. If your roof requires a little TLC, don’t wait, call a roofing contractor in MA during the harshest weather.
