Are you getting antsy for spring? Your home is too! We all know how tough winter can be on your home, and the last thing you want is a weathered roof dampening your spring aspirations! The solution? Getting started on transitioning your home from winter to spring now! By following these three simple roof maintenance tips, you can spring into a more positive mood while planting seeds of change in your home’s appearance!

1. 💧Look for Interior Water Damage

When thinking about roofing and exterior home maintenance tips, it can be easy to spring ahead (😉) and overlook interior problems. However, sometimes subtle damage can be found sprouting roots on the inside, too. That’s right, one of the most common signs of damage to your home are stains on your ceiling, mold, and peeling paint.


Three key signs that your house is suffering from water damage are: 



  • Brown Rings 
  • Curling Paint 
  • Evidence of Mold 


If you see these signs, your home may have suffered water damage from water drainage problems. Don’t wait for new weeds of damage to begin to grow on your home, act now in transitioning your home from winter to spring!

2. 🔍 Check for Exterior Roof Damage

The roof of a house has a hole in it.

Not only is it crucial to look for interior damage to your home, but looking at the exterior of your home is just as important!


Check out the exterior of your home and look for signs of: 


  • Missing shingles 
  • Sagging roof surface 
  • Buckling boards 


If you see small areas of damage, consider a simple repair fix. If you find large scale damage, it may be time to give your home a facelift with a full roof replacement. Whether big or small, keeping your roof well maintained as spring begins to sprout is imperative in keeping you safe and sound all year round!

I have been in this industry for about a year and a half now, and one thing is for certain: class 4 impact-resistant shingles are the new norm. If you are unfamiliar with the term “class 4”, I don’t blame you. Roofing is boring, it’s an afterthought for homeowners. It only comes to mind when you start seeing your street filling up with yard signs or a brown spot on the ceiling in your living room from a leak. Since you’re reading this, you’re more than likely shopping around for a new roof. Calling contractors, scheduling those free inspections, and ultimately receiving estimates. Your eyes stumble across an upgrade option to a “Class 4 Impact-Resistant Shingle”. The thought crosses your mind: “What does this mean?” Impact resistant shingles are marketed to homeowners to be the most durable shingle on the market. They’re designed to withstand the harshest weather mother nature can provide. Hail and wind are enemy #1 for your roof. In Minnesota, we are no stranger to these events. According to the National Centers for Environmental Information, Minnesota has had 36 severe storms that have caused over a billion dollars’ worth of damage.
