Editor's Notes
- Hello…. My name is Jason Arnold and I am the owner of Arnold’s Home Improvement - a 22 year-old home improvement company in Toledo, Ohio. Thank you very much for joining me on my Webinar today.Over the next 20-25 minutes, I’ll be presenting five simple and effective tips for preparing your home’s roof for winter. The winter months can damage your roof. It’s more than the chilling wind and freezing temperatures that cause problems. Ice dams can get under shingles and leave water stains on your ceilings. Condensation that gets into the attic through damaged roofing can cause problems with mold and you can be left facing an entire roof replacement. However, there are steps you can take as a homeowner to prepare your roof for winter and prolong its useful life.You’ll want to stick around until the end because once the presentation is over, I have a special gift for all of you who are on the call today.[ADVANCE SLIDE]
- I want to spend just a few minutes to provide a little background on Arnold’s Home Improvement.When I was 16, a friend of mine asked me if I wanted to help his brothers-in-law, Toledo firefighters Tom Doogan and Tom Farley, with a few roofing jobs. After a couple of weeks, I was hooked; heights never bothered me and I enjoyed the hard work. I worked with them until I was 18 years old, when an injury to Tom D. presented me with the opportunity to purchase their tools and truck. The next day, I started Arnold’s Roofing.I wanted to bring a customer-focused, service-oriented mindset to the home improvement field. The idea of being able to help people understand and work their way through to a successful home improvement project is the reason I started Arnold’s Roofing. To this day, that has not changed.

- Here is a quick look at what we’re going to cover - Five simple and effective tips to prepare your home’s roof for winter:1) Remove debris and clean gutters & downspouts2) Inspect flashing and protrusions3) Examine attic for proper ventilation4) Examine your home’s heat envelope6) Offer
- Remove Debris and Clean Gutters/DownspoutsAll loose debris should be removed from the roof surface itself to avoid future problems.
- Inspect FlashingRoof flashing is found on the roof around the perimeter of your home as well as vents, pipes, chimneys and skylights. High winds, heavy winter rains and iceand snow can cause flashing to loosen, rip and tear. If flashing is not inspected before the rough winter months, you could have a costly problem on your hands.All penetrations on the roof (including those from satellite dishes, heat and air conditioning units and other structures) should be inspected. Any point of possiblewater or air infiltration needs to be checked and restored to a properly sealed condition to avoid contamination.There are numerous areas on and around the roof, including the parapet or wall cap, behind the gutters and under the roof edges, where openings could allow birds, squirrels and other furry creatures into the attic space. Animal droppings in the attic or crawl space are clear signs of a problem. All these areas should be inspected and repaired as necessary.
- Examine Attic for Proper Ventilation
- Examine Your Home’s Heat Envelope
