\"\"<\/a>It feels like spring just arrived, but here we are \u2013 autumn is in the air, and the snow is soon going to start falling.<\/p>\n

In Winnipeg, we\u2019re tough, and we\u2019re used to winter. The upcoming snowy season doesn\u2019t faze us too much, because we know how to deal with it. We put snow tires on our cars, test-start the snow blower early, stock up on windshield deicer fluid and make sure the block heater is working.<\/p>\n

There are also some things we need to do around the house to get it ready for winter. We bring in the most sensitive plants, wrap some of the shrubs in burlap, and turn off and drain the outdoor faucets.<\/p>\n

But what about the roof<\/a>? It is the part of the home that\u2019s most exposed to the elements. Here\u2019s a list of things you can do to make sure that your roof is able to do its\u2019 job, and protect your home and family from the ravages of a prairie winter:<\/p>\n

1) Visual inspection<\/strong>
\nMake sure that your roof is in tip-top shape by taking a good hard look for wear and tear. If any of your shingles appear to be lifting<\/a> or curling, have them looked at.<\/p>\n

2) Check your eavestroughs<\/a><\/strong>
\nMake sure they\u2019re clean. If you find a lot of granular material from the surface of your shingles, you know that your roof is wearing out and you\u2019re looking at some repair or replacement soon. Make sure that all of your downspouts are clear, and route water away from the foundation of your home.<\/p>\n

3) Trees and Wires<\/strong>
\nMake sure that your roof isn\u2019t going to be damaged by any trees or wires rubbing against it when the winter winds howl. If any branches are getting too close, have them trimmed. Call your local utility if any wires are hanging too low.<\/p>\n

4) Prepare for Ice Dams<\/strong>
\nIf you\u2019ve had problems with ice dams<\/a> in the past, take some preventive measures before the snow flies. Contact the professionals at Above All Roofing and Insulation<\/a> to evaluate your situation. We can help you correct it \u2013 we offer all manner of services, including rooftop snow removal in the winter. Don\u2019t risk your life up there \u2013 leave the danger to us.<\/p>\n
