If you went all summer and fall without getting your roofing problems addressed, you’ll be lucky if no further damage is caused! Allowing leaks, damaged shingles or other roofing problems sit for too long can cause them to get much worse. Early detection is key to saving you money! The roofing service experts at Coates Bros. want to make sure homeowners know that as long as the roof isn’t covered in snow, we can still work through winter months. That being said, you don’t want those roofing problems to sit through the entire winter season. Here’s why:
1. Leaks can expand.
Have you ever noticed how potholes tend to get worse during the winter months? The same applies to damaged and cracked shingles. Water can seep into those cracks and when it freezes, the crack expands. Overtime, that damage can get worse and worse until a leak starts to form!
2. Snow is heavy!
If you have damaged shingles, adding extra weight to them is only going to increase the likelihood of further damage. We get a lot of snow in our area, and it gets heavy when it accumulates. That weight can be stressful to a heathy roof, let alone a damaged one! Before we get that heavy snowfall, make sure you call the roofing service experts at Coates Bros. to get those repairs made.
3. It’s harder for us to repair your roof in the winter.
Extreme cold and snow-covered roofs are not ideal working conditions for our roofing service experts. Safety is our number one rule, and if it’s too cold or the roof is covered in snow, we can’t put our crews in dangerous situations. Don’t wait to call!
These are just a few examples that can take a toll on you roof during the cold winter season.
