Winter Roof Preparation Checklist for Homeowners

Get Ready Before the Snow Falls

Preparing your roof in the fall ensures that it can withstand the weight, moisture, and temperature swings that winter brings.

Trim Overhanging Tree Branches

Heavy snow and ice can break branches that hang over your roof. Trim them early to avoid damage during storms.

Upgrade Insulation and Ventilation

Check attic insulation and airflow. Proper ventilation prevents ice dams, while insulation keeps your home warmer and your roof safer.

Inspect Chimney and Skylight Seals

Leaks often start around vents and chimneys. Make sure these areas are properly sealed to prevent moisture from slipping in under snow or ice.

Schedule a Professional Inspection

A roofing professional can spot weak spots or early damage that you might miss — ensuring your roof will hold strong all winter long.
