Get Your Roof Ready for Winter

NPBA

NORTH PENINSULA BUILDING A S S O C I AT I O N

By Garret DelaBarre, DelaBarre Construction President, North Peninsula Building Association For many American families, homeownership brings a sense of stability, accomplishment and peace of mind. Owning a home also means being responsible for its upkeep, in order to make sure it is a safe, comfortable sanctuary for your family to enjoy. As the winter months approach, the first measure of protection for a home against rain and snow in many parts of the country is the roof.

These tips offers advice to home owners for how to get your roof ready for the cold winter.

Start off by checking the roof framing structure to make sure it is not compromised. Visually scan the roof for any sagging or uneven areas. If you do see an area that looks uneven, this may mean damage to the roof deck below the shingles.

1.

Inspect the gutter systems to make sure they are not clogged with branches, leaves, or other debris. This is important to ensure that rain water and snow have a way off of the roof. If the water or snow is left standing on the roof, there is an increased likelihood of leaking or ice damming.

2.

Make sure that gutters are fastened properly and are tight and secure so that they don’t cause overflow and build-up or fall off the fascia board. Leaking water can end up causing damage not just to your roof, but to your interior walls, as well.

3.

Check the valleys of the roof to ensure that they are also free and clear of debris that can add weight to the roof and also act as a barrier to rain and snow. Leaks frequently occur in the valleys so make sure they are well protected by a proper roofing system.

4.

One of the most common causes for roofing leaks is due to problems with flashing. Flashing is the aluminum or metal material that is used in roof to wall transitions over joints to prevent water from seeping in and causing damage.

Metal flashing should also be used around roof vents, pipes, skylights, and chimneys. Remember that flashings can be loosened or torn by high winds and heavy rains, so inspect the areas annually.

5.

Lastly, you should walk around to carefully inspect the shingles on the roof – look for curling edges, missing granules, and certainly for missing shingles or damage from birds, rodents, or squirrels.

By inspecting your roof at least twice a year—before the winter months begin and after they are over—you’ll be able to spot and correct any potential problems before they could get severe and cause you to have to replace the entire roof before its expected lifespan.

Love at first sight, any time of year If you’d like to sell your home or buy a new property, don’t delay just because you’ve heard the fall is a slow time for real estate. Indeed, just as falling in love at first sight is never out of season, you can find the home of your dreams, or a buyer interested in your property, no matter what time of year it is. Because life is unpredictable and reality can call us to move on to another phase of life in any season, wonderful houses are placed on the market all year round.

All you need to finalize a sale is for one buyer to be really interested in acquiring a home such as yours. Likewise, whether there are 10 or 100 homes for sale in your preferred neighborhood, it only takes one house to start your heart racing, provided that it has all the characteristics of your dream home.

The role of a real estate agent takes on even more importance when you decide to buy or sell a house during a period when the market is not as active. Thanks to their expertise, experience, and contacts, the real estate agent will be able to find the right buyer for your property. If you are a buyer, your agent should also be able to deduce your tastes and needs and be able to handpick a few properties that will strike your fancy.

Their secret: real estate agents are trained to listen to the needs of their clients and to know the strong points of all the properties on the market. Using the services of a real estate agent means avoiding the unpleasant surprises lying in wait for those who choose not to work with a professional.

Using the services of a real estate agent means avoiding the unpleasant surprises that can come from concluding private deals.
