winter roofing prep

Winter can be harsh on commercial roofs, with snow, ice, and freezing temperatures posing significant risks. Preparing in advance not only prolongs your roof’s life but also prevents costly emergency repairs. At Quality Roofing Inc. (QRI), our expert team is ready to help you get your roof winter-ready, ensuring peace of mind throughout the colder months. Contact us at +1 (800) 938-0666 or service@qroof.com to schedule your winter roof inspection.

1. Inspect and Repair Vulnerabilities:
Start by inspecting for leaks, loose or missing shingles, and areas where water might pool. A thorough inspection by QRI’s team will identify even subtle signs of wear, protecting your roof from winter stress.

2. Clean and Clear Gutters and Drains:
Clogged drains and gutters can cause water to back up and freeze, leading to structural damage. Our professionals ensure that all drainage paths are clear, reducing the risk of ice dams and pooling water.

3. Check Flashing and Seals:
Flashing around chimneys, vents, and other penetrations is especially vulnerable to winter elements. Our team will ensure all flashing and seals are intact and ready for winter weather.

4. Remove Debris:
Leaves, branches, and other debris can create blockages and add weight to your roof. A QRI inspection includes thorough cleaning to prevent these issues from escalating during the winter.

5. Address Insulation Needs:
Proper insulation helps maintain even temperatures, reducing snow melt that can refreeze and lead to ice dam formation. We’ll assess your insulation needs to ensure optimal performance.
