Staying on top of your exterior as the seasons change is essential for your property.

Each season brings a new challenge.

 

Clearing gutters and downspouts, inspecting your roof for weather damage, and resealing gaps around windows and doors are just a few bases to cover when the weather changes.


🌷 Spring

Inspect & Clean: Check for winter damage on the roof and ensure gutters are clear to handle spring rains.

Landscape Check: Trim back overgrown branches and bushes so they are at least a few feet away from your siding.


β˜€οΈ Summer

Siding & Paint: Scrub dirt and mildew off your siding with a soft brush and mild detergent.

Make sure your roof and siding aren’t suffering from heat damage caused by prolonged sun exposure that could potentially open up gaps in shingles or warp siding.


🍁 Fall

Gutters & Downspouts: Clean out all fallen leaves to prevent ice dams from forming during the colder months.

Seal Drafts: Use exterior-grade caulk to seal gaps and cracks around windows to keep pests and cold air out.


 🧊 Winter

Snow & Ice Removal: Keep your roof clear of heavy snow loads and safely shovel or salt walkways.

Think about upgrading your windows to save money on heat escaping into the frosty air.

How Hail Size Affects Different Roofing Materials

How Hail Size Affects Different Roofing Materials

Hail size significantly impacts roofing materials differently, causing granule loss and bruising on standard asphalt at smaller diameters, while more rigid materials like tile and slate risk fracturing under larger impacts. Understanding these damage mechanics helps homeowners determine whether a storm has caused purely cosmetic flaws or structural vulnerabilities.
