Changing Seasons and How it Effects Your Roof

As the weather changes and summer gets into full swing, it’s important to understand how this change in season impacts your roof, so you can keep it in its best condition.

Consistent, long-term exposure to the sun’s infrared and ultraviolet radiation can prematurely break down your roof system. This heat can degrade the quality of the roof’s shingles and lead to costly repairs. When installing your roof, select high-quality asphalt shingles. Additionally, if you have a flat roof apply roof coatings that are highly reflective, to keep the heat away from your home and prevent serious damage.

Most importantly have your roof inspected annually, to find deficiencies before they become serious problems; the older the roof, the more need there is for inspection.
