How to Prepare Your Roof for Winter

Overview

Winter can be brutal on roofs. Ice dams, heavy snow, and freezing rain all test your home’s protection. Here’s how to prepare.

“Last winter, I had zero leaks thanks to Valley Solar & Roofing’s pre-winter inspection. Best investment I’ve made for my home.”

Step 1: Clean Gutters & Downspouts

Prevent ice dams by ensuring water can flow freely.

Step 2: Inspect Flashing

Check chimneys, skylights, and vents for gaps.

Step 3: Trim Overhanging Branches

Snow-laden branches can damage shingles and gutters.

Step 4: Add Attic Insulation

Proper insulation prevents heat loss and reduces ice dam formation.

Step 5: Schedule a Professional Inspection

Catch small problems before the snow hits.
