Maintaining And Preparing Your Roof For Winter

Contrary to popular belief, professional roofing services cater to more than just installations and emergency repairs. We are also in the business of maintaining and preparing your residential roofs for seasonal changes. Here are a few ways we can assist you in doing so at DM Roofing.

Perform Thorough Inspections

Using our expertise and industry-standard equipment, we can thoroughly inspect your home. This is an important first step in preventing winter roof leakages from developing or worsening during the season. We will quickly assess the condition of your chimney, internal roofing, and plumbing around the area, note any water damage, identify problems, and advise on the best route forward.

Prepare Gutters for WinterClear Up Gutters

Gutters are often the main reason for leakages due to poor maintenance or cleaning. It is crucial that you keep these clean, especially before the impending cold season. Cleared-up pathways ensure good flow and drainage, reducing the risk of a build-up of water. Calling out professionals can ensure that you get the job done effectively and safely without you having to climb up ladders to do so yourself.

Resolve Growing Issues

Inspections can highlight issues that need to be resolved. This can include weakened shingles, deteriorating materials or gaps in your roofing. We can work efficiently to ensure that the problems do not spread and help you avoid costly bills in the future due to emergency repairs.

Adding Drip Edges

Installing drip edges around your roof towards the ends can be beneficial to your maintenance work. These are useful additions that help the flow of water toward the gutter instead of standing over your fascia boards. With our help, you can install a drip edge to prevent your eaves from worsening with time. This is useful in reducing leaking, rotting, and mould build-up. The extra advantage of using these sheets is that they can also prevent pest infestations.

Our homes are more susceptible to the elements during winter because of snowfall and excessive moisture. The weather can have a significant impact on the structure and materials used, leading to deterioration and potentially leaking. And there’s no way to prevent this from occurring without proper care. Therefore, you must prioritize this as we go into the cold season.

My husband and I bought a fixer-upper a few years ago knowing that the roof would need to be replaced sooner rather than later. We approached several companies for quotes in January/February to re-shingle the roof and put plywood down underneath. We contacted DM Roofing, who was recommended to me by several co-workers. We chose DM Roofing for a number of reasons: 1. Their competitive quote 2. The timeline they could get the work done (far and away the best timeline of anyone we reached out to) 3. Friendliness 4. Prompt and professional responses Darren was able to cut me a deal on the shingles and plywood and gave me a further discount on the remaining unused shingles, which we are planning to use for our shed. The actual work was really well done. Everyone I spoke to on site were very nice and considerate of our property. They finished most of the work by the time I got home and returned the second day only because they ran out of cap for the edges. After the work was done, we asked them to cut out an area for a plumbing vent (for a future project), which they did for us with no issue. I really appreciated every step of the process with Darren and his team. I would recommend them to anyone.

I was unfortunately behind one of their work trucks and if they do roofs the way they drive I’d never hire them.

John Karagianis

Excellent roofing service. Honest, efficient, cost effective, knowledgable and highly professional. I have nothing but praise for my new roof, and the cost matched their initial quote. This is the second time I have used their services. Impressed both times.

I had a good enough experience with DM Roofing in terms of the initial sales and installation experience. However, trying to get them to come back to fix small issues was like pulling teeth. It feels like some jobs are too small for them to bother with, which is disappointing.
