How Winter Weather Conditions Affect Your Virginia Home’s Roof

Northern Virginia winters can be beautiful. However, they’re not without several challenges, particularly for homeowners. When it comes to snow and ice, you should be especially mindful of your roof and stay on top of maintenance as the winter months approach. Let’s take a look at two winter-specific concerns that affect your roof and consider how Sunshine Contracting can help provide you with solutions.

You’ve likely heard of “ice dams,” pesky blocks of solid ice that accumulate in your gutters during deep freezes. In addition to damaging your gutters, ice dams can also force their way into your shingles and sheathing, punching holes in your roof and leaving you exposed to unwanted rodents and insects during the warmer months. There are a few home remedies that can help prevent ice dams, but to prevent future long-term issues, you’ll want to shore up your roofing system to keep ice out of your gutters.

When to Replace your Weathered Siding

As brisk temperatures, swirling winds, and outdoor elements come in contact with your home exterior, you can see visible damage to your siding during the spring time. Depending on how old your home’s siding is, its exposure to weathering can be much more than an eyesore. There is hidden damage that may not be visible, but there are still some telltale signs that you’ll experience. With the arrival of spring, we’ll be spending more time outdoors. As you are outside of your home, how can you determine when you need to replace your weathered siding?

Deterioration: Depending on the material of your home’s siding, the way it ages will vary. Vinyl, wood, fiber cement, and other composites will all see deterioration differently. When the siding starts to rot and deteriorate, you will see cracks in the materials, as well as gaps and waves. Plus, if you notice the siding is uneven or warped, you’ll know it’s time to think about having your siding replaced to protect your investment.

The wetter the snowfall is, the heavier it weighs on your roof, and the more likely your structure and foundation is weakened.

So, how can you prevent roof damage in the winter?
