Winters in Northern Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania bring snow, ice, and freezing temperatures that can damage your roof. At The Roof Docs, we help homeowners in Fairfax, Bethesda, and Harrisburg prepare for the season. Follow these steps to protect your roof. 

1. Schedule an Inspection 

Before snow falls, have your roof checked for weak shingles or flashing. Our roof inspection services identify issues that could worsen in winter, ensuring your Annapolis home is ready. 

2. Clean Gutters 

Clogged gutters cause ice dams, trapping water and causing leaks. Clear debris in York to ensure drainage. Our maintenance plans keep gutters clear year-round. 

3. Check Insulation 

Poor attic insulation leads to heat loss, forming ice dams. Verify insulation meets standards, per Energy.gov. Our eco-friendly options improve efficiency. 

4. Trim Branches 

Heavy snow can break branches, damaging your roof in Lancaster. Trim trees to prevent issues during storms. 

5. Repair Damage 

Fix leaks or missing shingles before winter. Our roof repair team uses GAF materials for lasting fixes in Harrisburg. 

Why Prep Matters 

Freeze-thaw cycles in the region expand cracks, leading to costly repairs. Contact The Roof Docs to winterize your roof and avoid stress.
