Fall Weather Roofing Tips

Fall Weather Roofing Tips


The temps are finally coming down and fall has arrived in North Texas! As you and your loved ones prepare for the holidays, make sure that your property is prepped for the changing weather and the season to come. Here are Ahlers’ top roofing tips to ensure that your home is ready for fall!


1. Clear leaves and other debris from your roof – Falling leaves and other organic debris can collect in the eaves and valleys of your roof. If these build-ups impede the run-off from your roof, you may be in for trouble. Mold, cracking, and other drainage related issues aren’t always evident until after the damage has been done. Keeping your roof clean and clear is the best way to prevent unnecessary damage to your roof. 


2. Clean out your gutters – Fall leaves can fill your gutters and prevent water from properly flowing off of your roof. That can lead to leaks, mold, and the need for professional roof repairs. If you have large trees that hang over your home, consider having a professional roofer install gutter guards to help ensure that downspouts and gutters stay unblocked and fully functional.


3. Trim dead branches off your trees – Now is the time to trim back any dead or damaged branches that are close to your home. Fall weather often brings strong winds and heavy rain, a dangerous combination for weakened limbs. Should a branch fall on your roof it can cause damage requiring extensive roofing repairs. Trimming branches early in the season also minimizes the leaf drop that can accumulate on your roof.


4. Schedule a professional roofing inspection – It’s always a good idea to have a trustworthy roofing contractor look at your roof before winter comes. Don’t wait until a leak shows you that you’re in need of a repair! A professional roof inspector will highlight any areas of weakness that need to be addressed before they turn into a cause for major repairs. At Ahlers, we consider complimentary roof inspections an important part of helping you protect your family, home, and wallet. Contact us to schedule your free roofing inspection today. 


The last and final thing to consider for your roof this fall is how you’ll be decorating for the holidays! Consider working with a professional roofer to deck your home for the season with an amazing display of festive holiday lights. Working with a roofing professional ensures that your roof and your property won’t be damaged in the light installation or removal process. It also keeps you off of ladders and inside with your loved ones! 


At Ahlers, we love to help you celebrate the season by providing the highest quality work and materials for your holiday light installation. Now is the time to get on the books to let us make your holiday lighting dreams come true. In the meantime, we hope you have the opportunity to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather!
