As autumn unfolds in Arizona, it’s time to focus on seasonal roofing tasks to ensure your home stays in top condition. At Kore Roofing, we’ve put together a seasonal roofing checklist to help you prepare your roof for fall and winter:

1. Inspect Roof Surface: Check your roof for any visible signs of damage, such as missing or damaged shingles. Look for areas where debris might have accumulated and inspect for any signs of wear or deterioration.

2. Clean and Clear Gutters: Remove leaves, twigs, and other debris from your gutters and downspouts to prevent clogs and ensure proper drainage. Consider installing gutter guards to reduce future maintenance.

3. Check Flashing and Seals: Inspect roof flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights to ensure there are no gaps or signs of damage. Proper sealing is crucial to prevent leaks.

4. Examine Attic Insulation and Ventilation: Ensure your attic is properly insulated and ventilated. Good insulation helps regulate temperature and improves energy efficiency, while proper ventilation prevents moisture buildup.

5. Look for Moss or Algae Growth: Check for moss or algae on your roof, which can lead to damage over time. If you notice any growth, consider having it professionally cleaned to prevent further issues.

6. Trim Overhanging Branches: Trim any branches that are close to or touching your roof. This prevents potential damage from falling limbs and reduces the amount of debris that can accumulate on your roof.

7. Schedule a Professional Inspection: Even if you handle some maintenance tasks yourself, a professional inspection by Kore Roofing can provide a thorough checkup and identify any issues you might have missed.

By following this checklist, you can ensure your roof remains in excellent condition throughout the fall and winter months. If you need assistance or a professional inspection, don’t hesitate to contact Kore Roofing.
