Spring in Omaha is a season of growth, renewal, and, of course, unpredictable weather. With March bringing those infamous spring storms, homeowners need to ensure their roofs are ready to stand up to heavy rain, hail, and strong winds. A little preparation now can save you significant stress and money later. At Royalty Roofing, we’re here to help you protect your home with expert advice and professional services. Here are some essential steps to get your roof ready for the season.
Inspect Your Roof for Damage
Before the spring storms hit, take the time to check your roof for any signs of wear and tear. Look for missing shingles, cracks, or damaged flashing. Even small issues can quickly worsen during severe weather, so it’s best to address them early.
Pro Tip from Royalty Roofing:
If climbing onto your roof isn’t an option, don’t worry! Our experienced team offers free inspections. We’ll thoroughly evaluate your roof and identify any problem areas before the storms roll in.
Clean Your Gutters
Your gutters are essential for directing rainwater away from your home, but they can’t do their job if they’re clogged with leaves and debris from the winter months. Blocked gutters can lead to water pooling on your roof, increasing the risk of leaks or damage.
Take the time to clean your gutters and ensure your downspouts direct water at least a few feet away from your foundation.
Need Help?
Royalty Roofing also specializes in gutter installation and repair. If your gutters are showing signs of wear, call us to ensure they’re ready for the spring rain.
Check for Loose or Damaged Shingles
Strong spring winds can rip off loose shingles, exposing your roof to water damage. Walk around your home and look for shingles that appear cracked, curled, or missing. If you notice anything concerning, call in the professionals to make quick, effective repairs.
Why It Matters:
Minor shingle issues can lead to major repairs if ignored. Royalty Roofing uses durable, weather-tested materials to ensure your roof stays intact during storms.
Trim Overhanging Branches
Those picturesque trees that gave your home shade last summer could become a hazard during a storm. Overhanging branches are one of the most common causes of roof damage in high winds. Trim them back to prevent them from scraping against your roof or breaking off during a storm.
Tip:
While DIY trimming can handle small branches, it’s better to call in arborists for larger limbs. Safety always comes first!
Check Your Attic for Warning Signs
Your attic can provide early clues about roof issues. Take a few minutes to look for any water stains, mold, or damp insulation. These could signal leaks that need immediate attention.
If you spot something suspicious, schedule an inspection with Royalty Roofing. Our experienced team can pinpoint the source of the problem and recommend the best solution.
Schedule a Professional Inspection
Even if your roof appears to be in good condition, a professional inspection is the best way to catch hidden damage or potential vulnerabilities. At Royalty Roofing, our skilled team can assess your roof’s ability to withstand severe weather and address any weak spots.
