Winter is coming, which means homeowners in northern states like Virginia are now busy readying their roofs for snow. While the cold does not have much effect on roofing materials, the snow load can give roofing real chills. Whether in Chesterfield or Midlothian, winter may bring tremendous amounts of snow that can endager the stability of roofing systems if not properly maintained. Therefore, you'll have to hire a professional Chesterfield roofer for your roof's upkeep.
Once a year, you should clean the cobwebs and dust from your ventilation system and exhaust vents. Then, caulk with a high grade sealant around pipes and vents and paint any exposed metal to prevent rust. Also, remove leaves and other debris from the gutters so they don't dam up and overflow.
If you're planning to replace your roof to prepare for this coming winter, you can choose from various materials that have proven resistant to cold and heavy loads.
