After a long New England winter, spring reveals more than blooming flowers–it often uncovers hidden damage to your roof. At the first sign of trouble, many homeowners turn to roof inspections to assess and repair seasonal roofing issues before they get worse. To help guide you in the right direction, our trusted NH roofers are here to discuss the signs to look for when it comes to roof damage and knowing when it’s time to schedule a roof inspection.
Shingle Damage from Harsh Winter Weather
After months of snow, ice, and fluctuating temperatures, shingles often take a beating. Cracked, curled, or missing shingles are among the most common spring roofing problems. These weak points can allow water to seep in, leading to leaks and interior damage. Our experienced NH roofers inspect every inch of your roof to identify shingle damage and replace affected areas with materials that blend seamlessly and restore your roof’s integrity.
Clogged or Damaged Gutters
Winter debris—such as leaves, ice, and dirt—often clogs gutters, preventing proper drainage once spring rain arrives. Overflowing water can back up onto your roof or pool around your foundation, causing long-term structural issues. We remove all debris, check for loose or sagging gutters, and repair or reseal as needed to ensure water flows efficiently away from your home.
Flashing Failures and Leaks
Flashing is the thin metal material installed around roof features like chimneys, skylights, and vents. In winter, ice dams and heavy snow can cause flashing to lift or corrode, opening the door to moisture infiltration. We check all flashing points and either reseal or replace them to ensure a watertight barrier in these vulnerable spots.
Moss, Algae, and Mold Growth
As temperatures rise and moisture lingers, moss and algae can start to grow—especially on shaded parts of your roof. These growths don’t just look bad; they trap moisture, which accelerates the deterioration of your shingles. Our team uses safe, professional-grade cleaning solutions to remove growth without damaging the roof, and we offer preventative treatments to keep it from coming back.
Hidden Winter Damage
Not all roofing problems are easy to spot. Minor damage from ice dams or unseen leaks may not become obvious until spring rains hit. Our comprehensive spring inspections help detect early signs of trouble—before they turn into costly repairs.
