Cold Weather Maintenance

Winter Maintenance Tips

December 10, 2016 by Tonia Hornsby

As the seasons change, your house may have different obstacles. During the summer, you need to keep your roof cool to help increase the service life of your system. However, during the winter, you may need to worry about ice formation. A roofing company near Jackson, MS, may offer advice on the maintenance you should undertake during winter. While it may be tempting to stay bundled up inside during this cooler season, getting some maintenance work done may keep your home in top shape.

Protect Your Roof

Snow can add a lot of weight to your roofing system, but it may also put unexpected weight on tree limbs. By trimming back any branches that hang over your house, you may protect your roof. Fixing attic ventilation, repairing broken shingles and hiring a professional to properly clean off your roof may also be a great way to keep up the protection.

Increase Insulation

If you notice that your home is hard to heat, you may need to install insulation. Adding this extra barrier along exterior walls may help keep your home heated. You should also check the insulation in your attic. This area should be insulated against the house, but the heat should be able to escape the attic space or you may have a problem with ice formation on the roof.

Clean Gutters

Clogged gutters can cause a problem all year long. Cleaning this system can help reduce water damage, and it may also protect the gutters themselves. For example, if water gets stuck in a gutter, the product may crack as the water turns to ice. The extra weight could even cause the fasteners to break.

Call for More Help

If you have questions about any maintenance needs, be sure to call a trusted contractor. Here at Complete Exteriors, we know the importance of maintaining your house to avoid costly repairs and replacements in the future. Taking preventative steps now can help decrease the work needed in the spring.

Complete Exteriors did an amazing job. They are super professional, on time, and the quality is top notch. They found things that others had missed and worked with me the whole time. One of key takeaways for me is their service. To have a vendor not only do they job, but also inform and educate you through the whole process is amazing. Damien was on site the entire day during the build, constantly updating and working with his crews. He was even there the next day after the job to ensure all was good to do one last spot check. Even the general manager Eddie came out to ensure all was going right. Another aspect that was awesome is even when I was at work, I was getting a progress report with where they were at with job through today. Even when the materials were delivered, I got an update that showed all the matching lot numbers for every case of tiles. This was in no way a Lowes delivery weeks before the job. This was a managed direct delivery with all matching numbers. I will say, in a world where customer service is becoming less and less, Compete Exteriors is breaking the mold. Again, if you need a roof, give them a call. I feel 100% confident I have a roof for MANY years to come.

Complete Exteriors recently replaced my roof due to hail damage. I was very impressed with the professionalism and quality of the job. As proven by the finished product, they had a skilled team performing the roofing ( and wood replacement where needed. ). They even cleaned up the walkways in the attic. Joe, Damien, and Greg all checked in personally throughout the day to ensure the job was going according to my standards. I would definitely recommend them for any restoration or roof work.

I'd like to compliment Josh Wilson with complete exteriors. Josh handled all the handyman issues that needed to be done after the roof was installed. He took care of everything in a prompt and quality maner.

Complete Exteriors has got to be the most organized, thorough, and efficient roofing contractor any where around. From the initial inspection with an insurance adjuster to installation, I never had to repeat myself nor ask the same questions until I got an answer. The left hand knew what the right hand was doing all through the process and I never had to worry about them following through with what we discussed in the planning stage. They handled all the paper work with the insurance company once I filed the claim. I highly recommend Complete Exteriors to service your roofing, gutter, and siding needs!

I'd like to thank the Gutter installers from Complete Exteriors Roofing & Gutters for doing an outstanding install today, totally changed the look on the front of the house, appreciate the advice on going with the copper penny gutter, it has the look of expensive copper install but without the cost or tarnishing over the years. Professional, friendly, and timely, will definitely be looking at other services they offer.
