What Roanoke Homeowners Should Check on Their Roof Before Winter

October is an important month for roofs in Southwest Virginia.

Leaves are beginning to fall, gutters can clog quickly, and winter rain, snow and freezing temperatures are not far behind.

Roanoke homeowners should watch for missing or damaged shingles, loose flashing, staining on ceilings, sagging gutters, damaged pipe boots and visible areas where water may be entering.

A roof problem does not always announce itself with a major leak.

Sometimes the first warning is a small stain, a lifted shingle or moisture appearing around an attic penetration.

Finding these issues before winter can reduce the chance of a minor problem becoming an emergency during bad weather.

Roanoke Roofing Pros helps homeowners throughout Roanoke and surrounding communities with roofing inspections, repairs and replacement needs.

If your roof is older or you have noticed anything unusual, fall is a smart time to have it evaluated.
