Get quotes from the Best Roofers in Sacramento, CA

A cycle of extreme summer heat followed by winter humidity can do a lot of damage on Sacramento homes.

During the summer, the hot sun beats down on your roof and dries out the roofing materials. This can cause them to crack, break, and deteriorate. Then, after drying out over the summer, the high humidity of the winter does further damage which often leads to roofing repair – especially shingles.

While most of the damage to your roof is thought to be to the exterior, a mix of heat and humidity can also damage the underside of your roof causing damage to important structural components. That’s why ventilation and insulation is key in attics to avoid issues with your roof.

If you are unsure if your roof is stable, a professional roofing contractor can do an inspection to check for any issues. In addition to checking for damage such as leaks, cracks, and breaks, a roofer can also offer recommendations on how to take preventative measures to avoid your roof being damaged.

Making sure you remove debris from your gutters and roof is another good way to prevent roof damage. Of course, safety is key whenever you do a DIY roof check. Make sure you are wearing rubber-soled shoes to avoid slipping and have someone hold your ladder for you.

Of course, professional roofers are available if you would prefer not to clean gutters or check for damage after a storm on your own. And always be sure to call a professional if a repair needs to be done. Trying to DIY a roofing fix can lead to injury as well as potential additional damage to the roof. Having the right skills and tools is really key for working on roofs, so leaving it to the professional is the best and safest option.
