- Eliminate low-hanging tree branches- Branches can break off and fall on your roof once snow is weighing down on them.
- Remove fallen leaves and debris- Leaves and debris on your roof can trap down moisture and clog your gutters, which will create bigger problems to deal with.
- Clean your gutters and downspouts- It is very important to clean your gutters so they can drain water and melting snow properly. Clogged gutters can cause water damage.
- Check for pests- Check for entry of pests or animals. The cold weather might make your home look inviting, which has the potential to cause a lot of damage if this is the case.
- Inspect and repair- Repair shingles, check flashing for signs of wear, and check any previous repairs that have been done to your roof.
- Insulate your attic- Prevent icing on your roof.
