Your roof does a lot for your home, and one of the best ways to protect it is with seasonal maintenance tailored to Connecticut’s weather patterns. Each season brings its own challenges — and opportunities — to strengthen your roof and prevent long-term damage.

In spring, focus on uncovering winter damage. Clear gutters, check for lifted shingles, inspect flashing, and look for early signs of leaks. Fairfield County’s rainy spring season is notorious for exposing weaknesses that developed during winter.

Summer brings heat and UV exposure. Make sure your attic ventilation is working properly; trapped heat can warp shingles and raise energy costs. It’s also a good time to clean debris from the roof and assess general wear.

In fall, prepare for snow. Remove leaves, trim nearby branches, check seals around vents and chimneys, and inspect for any areas where ice dams could form. Addressing issues now helps prevent winter leaks.

Winter requires monitoring. Keep an eye on snow accumulation, look for ice dams forming along roof edges, and stay alert for interior condensation or attic moisture.

Seasonal maintenance is simple but essential. A professional inspection ensures nothing is missed and helps your roof stand strong year after year.
