As the leaves start to fall and the temperatures drop, most homeowners are busy tackling yard work, cleaning gutters, and getting ready for winter. But there’s one task that often gets overlooked, a roof inspection.

At John Higgins Weatherguard Rooferees, we can’t stress enough how important this step is. Fall is the perfect time to make sure your roof is in top shape before snow, ice, and freezing temperatures hit. Scheduling your roof inspection now can save you from headaches (and costly repairs) later.

Perfect weather for roof work. Fall offers that ideal window between summer heat and winter cold. The mild temperatures and lower humidity make it easier—and safer—for roofers to inspect, repair, or replace materials.

Spot problems before winter damage sets in. Winter weather can turn small issues into major ones. A single missing shingle or a small leak can lead to water intrusion, ice dams, or structural damage once the freeze-thaw cycle begins.

Protect your investment. Your roof protects everything under it, your home, your belongings, and your family. Regular inspections extend your roof’s lifespan, preserve your manufacturer’s warranty, and prevent costly water or structural damage.

A fall inspection is a simple step that pays off in long-term protection and savings. At John Higgins Weatherguard, our team knows what to look for when it comes to Nebraska weather. We’ll check for cracked or missing shingles, flashing issues, clogged gutters, poor ventilation, and more.
