What Cold Weather Does to Aging Roofs
Your old roof is more vulnerable than ever in winter. Cracked shingles, soft decking, or poor ventilation can lead to problems:
- Ice dams that back up water into your attic
- Leaks that damage insulation, drywall, and ceilings
- Skyrocketing heating bills from poor roof insulation
- Roof collapses from the trapped snow or water weight
If your roof is 15–25 years old or showing signs of wear, now is the time for a replacement, not in January when it’s leaking and frozen solid.
Avoiding Emergency Roofing Repairs in January
Emergency roof work in January is expensive, limited, and often temporary. Crews are harder to schedule, materials may not be available, and you’ll pay more for winter fixes. Plus, temporary patches don’t hold up to repeat snowstorms.
It’s time to call for a professional roof inspection right away if you’re already seeing signs like:
- Missing or curled shingles
- Granules in your gutters
- Water spots on ceilings or walls
- Moss, algae, or visible sagging
