Get quotes from the Best Roofers in Lexington, KY

From extreme heat to extreme cold, Lexington roofs are faced with a lot of potential damage throughout the year.

In summer, your roof is subject to potential cracking or breaking from prolonged heat, damage from the high wind and rain that comes with storms, and, of course, possible tornado damage as well. In the winter, damage can be equally if not more possible with problems caused by ice storms, accumulated snow, and the lesser-known ‘ice dams’ – which can create huge problems for your roof.

If you’ve never heard of an ice dam, it occurs when the interior heat from your home melts the accumulated snow on your roof, then the water runs down and refreezes at the edge of your roof. Ice dams often block water from draining properly which can push it under the roof covering and into your attic or down a wall. You can reduce the risk of ice dams forming on your roof by making sure your gutters are clear of debris (something you should be checking regularly throughout the year) and also by keeping your attic well-insulated and ventilated.

It’s important to take preventative measures to ensure your roof is stable and damage-free. If you aren’t comfortable doing regular maintenance checks on your own, you can hire a roofing contractor to inspect your roof for you. Catching any damage or potential issues quickly is the key to preventing major issues. 

Are you confident that your roof will be able to withstand all of the natural disasters and elements the Kentucky seasons are throwing at it? If you want to have your roof checked or are considering having a better quality roof installed, the best first step is to talk to a professional roofer. They can provide valuable services and input to help you ensure the safety of your home and family.
