Preventative Roof Maintenance Tips

• Conduct bi-annual roof inspections, especially before and after harsh winter seasons
• Clear gutters and downspouts regularly to prevent ice dam formation
• Remove snow accumulation exceeding 6 inches to prevent structural stress
• Check attic ventilation to maintain proper temperature regulation

Storm Preparation Guidelines

• Document your roof’s condition with photos for insurance purposes
• Trim overhanging branches before storm season
• Secure loose shingles and flashing
• Install proper ice and water shields for Buffalo’s lake-effect snow

Post-Storm Assessment Checklist

1. Check for visible shingle damage or displacement
2. Inspect attic for water stains or leaks
3. Examine gutters for granule accumulation
4. Look for damaged or missing flashing
5. Assess ventilation components
