As cooler weather approaches in Northeast Ohio, it’s time for homeowners to ensure their roof is ready to handle the seasonal transition.
At RAW Roofing Solutions, we understand that an energy-efficient roof not only keeps your home warm but also helps save on heating bills.
Here are some expert tips to help you prepare for the colder months ahead.
- Inspect for Damage: Fall is an ideal time to check for any damage that may have occurred over summer. Missing shingles, cracks, or worn areas can impact your roof’s insulation capabilities, allowing heat to escape.
- Upgrade Insulation: Proper insulation in your attic is essential for maintaining warmth during cooler weather. If your home feels drafty or your energy bills spike during the winter, adding extra insulation can make a significant difference.
Seal Leaks and - Drafts: Heat can escape through even the smallest openings. Ensure that areas around vents, chimneys, and skylights are well-sealed to prevent heat loss and improve your home’s energy efficiency.
- Schedule a Roof Rejuvenation: Our Roof Rejuvenation service uses a scientifically formulated, bio-based oil to restore your shingles’ flexibility and durability. This treatment not only extends the life of your roof but also enhances its ability to insulate your home. (This service is best provided in the warmer months when conditions are optimal for application).
- Clean Gutters: Clogged gutters can lead to ice dams, which damage your roof and affect energy efficiency. Clearing out leaves and debris ensures proper drainage and reduces the risk of costly repairs.
