Winter weather can be harsh on your roof. Snow, ice, and freezing temperatures can cause damage that isn’t always easy to detect. As spring arrives, it’s the perfect time to assess your roof and address any issues before they lead to costly repairs. At A&A Contracting, we recommend performing roof maintenance after winter to ensure your roof stays in top shape. Here’s how our team can help.
Why Spring Roof Inspections Matter
Winter weather weakens roofing materials. If left unchecked, small problems can turn into major leaks. A professional inspection ensures your roof is strong and ready for the seasons ahead.
Our Roof Inspection Process
When we perform roof maintenance after winter, our team focuses on these key areas:
1. Roofing Membranes
- Our team inspects for tears or weaknesses in roofing membranes, common on flat roofs.
- We replace any damaged materials before they lead to leaks.
2. Flashing and Sealants
- Inspect flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights for rust or separation.
- Reapply sealants if they have cracked or peeled.
3. Gutters and Downspouts
- Clear out leaves, twigs, and debris.
- Ensure downspouts direct water away from the foundation.
- Check for sagging or damage from heavy ice.
4. Signs of Moisture Damage
- Look for water stains on ceilings or walls inside your building.
- Address any leaks immediately to prevent structural damage.
Preventative Maintenance Steps
As a property owner, taking proactive measures can help maintain your roof’s integrity between professional inspections. Here’s what you can do:
- Keep Gutters Clean – Regularly remove debris to ensure proper drainage.
- Check for Visible Damage – Look for signs of wear like cracks or pooling water.
- Monitor Indoor Spaces – Watch for leaks, stains, or mold growth inside your building.
- Trim Nearby Trees – Prevent falling branches from damaging your roof.

- Extends Roof Life – Regular care prevents premature aging.
