Roof Maintenance 101: Protecting Your Home from Costly Damage

Welcome back to Home Design Chat with Nancy.   This is the place where you learn everything about your home, what the current trends are, how to design, plan and execute your remodel and much more.

Your roof takes a beating every season—scorching hot summers, heavy snowfalls, and everything in between.  But how do you know if the roof is really holding up? 

Charlie Holquin, Sales & marketing director for Big Red Roofing, is my guest today.   Charlie will explain what extreme heat does to shingles, how snow and ice can sneak damage into your home, and those little warning signs—like curling shingles, sagging spots, or mysterious water stains—that you don’t want to ignore.

He will also share some simple maintenance tips that can save you from a costly repair down the road and keep your roof in good shape no matter the season.

Important talking points:

• How extreme heat affects roofing materials
• Common signs of sun damage, including warping, curling, and fading shingles
• What heavy snow and ice can do to your roof’s structure
• Red flags like sagging, leaks, or water stains inside your home
• Preventative maintenance tips to extend the life of your roof year-round
