Your spring checklist should include:

- Check your attic for water stains or damp insulation.
- Consider scheduling a professional roof inspection if your neighborhood experienced hail.

Summer: Guard Against Heat & Humidity
Summers in Dardenne Prairie can get brutally hot, and your roof takes the brunt of it.
- Inspect shingles for curling or blistering caused by heat.

- Inspect seals and flashing to ensure they remain watertight.
Fall: Prep for Winter
Autumn is your best chance to prepare for freezing weather.
- Clean gutters thoroughly to prevent ice dams.

- Inspect flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vents.
- Schedule a pre-winter roof inspection to catch problems before cold weather sets in.

While Dardenne Prairie’s snow levels aren’t extreme, freezing rain and ice can still cause problems.
