Roofs rarely fail all at once. They wear down one small problem at a time. A few tasks spread across the year keep those problems small. Here is the calendar we suggest for North Texas homes.

Not sure what shape your roof is in?

Late winter to early spring (February to March)

Storm season usually starts in March, so this is the most important time.

Schedule a professional inspection before hail season

Replace cracked vent boots, loose flashing and lifted shingles found in the inspection

Clean gutters and check that downspouts drain away from the house

Trim limbs hanging over the roof

Take dated photos of the roof and exterior for insurance records

Spring (April to June)

Peak hail and wind season.

After every significant storm, check the yard for shingles and look for dents in gutters, vents and the AC unit

Look at top-floor ceilings after heavy rain

Get an inspection after any hail. Damage is hard to see from the ground, and claims have deadlines.

Summer (July to September)

Heat is the main stress.

On a hot afternoon, check that the attic is not unreasonably hot and that soffit vents are clear

Look for curling or blistering shingles on south and west slopes

Keep an eye on energy bills. A jump can point to attic ventilation or insulation problems.

Fall (October to November)

Clean gutters after the leaves drop

Clear leaves and debris out of roof valleys

Check for moss or algae on shaded slopes

Look at caulk and paint on fascia and trim before winter

Winter (December to January)

On a cold morning, check the attic for frost or dampness on the decking

After ice storms or hard freezes, check for fallen limbs and damaged gutters

Plan any repairs or replacements for early spring

Anytime

Fix a leak as soon as you notice it

Keep people off the roof who do not need to be there, including other trades, and ask them to report any damage

Keep your roof paperwork together: warranty, invoices, inspection photos

The payoff

These habits help a roof reach its full service life, keep warranty coverage intact, and put you in a better position if a storm damages the roof. We are happy to do the professional inspection part for free. Call (855) 741-ROOF.
