Seasonal Maintenance Guide
Keeping Your Home’s Exterior in Top Shape Year-Round
At Oak Hills Roofing, we believe that preventative maintenance is key to protecting your investment and ensuring the longevity of your home’s exterior. Here’s a seasonal guide to help you stay on top of maintenance tasks throughout the year:
Spring:
- Roof Inspection: Check for any signs of damage from winter weather, such as missing or damaged shingles, leaks, or ice dam buildup.
- Gutter Cleaning: Clear gutters and downspouts of debris to ensure proper drainage and prevent water damage.
- Siding Inspection: Look for any cracks, warping, or loose siding that may need repair or replacement.
- Window and Door Inspection: Check for any drafts or leaks around windows and doors and reseal as needed.
Summer:
- Landscaping Maintenance: Trim trees and shrubs around your home to prevent damage to your roof and siding.
- Ventilation Check: Ensure proper attic ventilation to prevent heat buildup and moisture problems.
- Exterior Painting: If needed, touch up or repaint any exterior surfaces to protect them from the summer sun.
Fall:
- Gutter Cleaning: Clear gutters and downspouts again to prevent clogs from falling leaves and debris.
- Roof Inspection: Check for any loose or missing shingles before winter arrives.
- Siding Inspection: Look for any signs of damage or wear and tear that may need attention.
- Window and Door Preparation: Ensure windows and doors are properly sealed to prevent drafts and heat loss during the winter months.
Winter:
- Snow Removal: Remove excessive snow from your roof to prevent ice dams and structural damage.
- Ice Dam Prevention: If ice dams form, carefully remove them to prevent water damage.
- Monitor for Leaks: Keep an eye out for any signs of leaks or water damage during thaws and periods of heavy snowfall.
