What did the roof say to winter?
“Bring it on… I’m covered!” ❄️
Whether we get a dusting or a full-on snowstorm, one thing’s guaranteed — Kansas City is about to get COLD. While you’re stocking up on hot cocoa and extra blankets, don’t forget to show your roof a little love, too.
These simple winter tips can help prevent leaks, ice damage, and surprise repairs when temperatures drop. Stay warm, stay safe, and let us know if your roof needs a quick winter check-up!
1️⃣ Lower Your Humidifier Settings
Excess moisture during cold weather can lead to frost building up in your attic. When the frost melts, it can cause water stains and drips, which look like leaks but aren’t. Lowering your humidifier settings can help prevent this.
2️⃣ Be Aware of Ice Dams
Ice dams occur when snow melts unevenly on your roof and refreezes at the edges, blocking water from draining properly. Avoid climbing on your roof to remove ice—it’s dangerous and can cause damage. Insulation and ventilation are the best ways to prevent this issue before it starts.
3️⃣ Check for Uneven Snow Melt
Take a look at your roof from the ground. If some areas are clear of snow while others are still covered, it might indicate insulation or ventilation problems. Snow should melt evenly across your roof.
4️⃣ When in Doubt, Ask for Help
If you notice anything unusual or have concerns about your roof’s condition, contact Marquee Roofing. Ensuring your roof is ready for winter can save you from bigger headaches down the road.
Stay safe and warm, Kansas City! Keeping your home protected in the winter months is all about being proactive.
