Over the past few weeks, the temperature has fallen considerably, and homeowners have started to maintain their homes annually. It seems always there is too much to be done in such a short time, whether it is draining the pool or packaging the lawn furniture.
A roof that covers your home is one of the most important things to protect before the winter begins. You want to ensure that your home is well secured during the year as one of your greatest investments. Any homeowner wants to deal with a sudden damming of ice or leak during the winter months.
You are recommended by experienced commercial roofing experts before the snow comes:
Go for Insulation
It is just like wrapping it in a blanket to maintain it warm with grass insulation in your yard. Proper insulation can maintain temperatures and reduce the costs of heating and cooling and keep your family and you warm throughout the year.
Proper shadow insulation is certainly a brand or a break in the winter months. Whilst you sit around the home, you never want to have to curl or bundle in more layers. This ends up being very expensive, particularly for those with bigger rooms and many heating floors.
Speak to your local roofing company before the fall season ends and have them search for the right attic isolation at your home. You want to ensure that your insulation reaches a sufficiently high R-value that it traps the heat.
Keep the Gutters Clean
The objective is to capture and redirect water, tree debris, snow, and more from sitting on the rooftop. Water is the natural enemy of your houses. In your basement, ceiling, the foundation or anywhere you could cause harm, you do not want it.
As a commercial roofing company, we have seen several instances where bad gutters are the main cause of roof leaks for over twenty years. Leaves and other debris frequently build up and obstruct the drainage mechanism that prevents the drainage of water. This water and waste freezes and severely damages your home's aluminum, roof and base in winter.
Professional roofers advise you to clean your roofing in order to avoid damage at least every spring. These are the times when homeowners find the most waste in the gutter system.
Tuning of Roof
As doctors need testing, your roof needs daily maintenance checks. We call it a "Roof Tune-Up" at experienced roofers. Our professional workers can visit your property for a small fee to make sure your roof is ready for winter. This involves substituting missing or damaged shingles, blinding, wear-out caulking and other required repairs.
Set up Cables for Heating
Oklahoma’s winter weather appears to get worse every year. Many homeowners in Oklahoma have started building heated cables across the roof to better prepare their homes for the harsh weather.
Heating cables are wires on your roof, which create warmth. These cables are also used for heating the base floor and protecting the pipes against freeze. On your roof, snow melts from the heating cables, stops ice dams and prevents the ice from rising in the valleys and surpluses. These cables are very popular, simple to mount and easy to use for homeowners. Contact us at All American Roofing for free of charge, no obligation assessments and quotes.
