Winter Weather & Your Roof

Winter, here in Atlanta, is typically mild, especially when compared to our northern neighbors. This year is one of those years where we get more than usual. As we don’t experience harsh winter weather that often, even an inch or two of frozen precipitation can wreak havoc on our fair state as we experienced a couple of weeks ago.

Even when we are prepared, such as we were in this last blast, winter weather can cause problems we don’t see and if left alone, could develop into larger issues. Particularly with roofs, although major damage such as falling trees and other debris didn’t occur on a large scale fortunately this last go round, damage may have occurred that isn’t so obvious and could be growing as we speak.

After major weather events, even if you suspect small damage, it could be in your interest to have a roof inspection performed. If a few shingles were blown off or or out of place, or if small limbs and debris poked a few holes here and there, you could be looking at major repairs down the road if left for too long. The sooner the smallest problems are taken care of the better for your wallet and sanity.
