Protecting Your Home from Snow with S&K Construction And Remodeling LLC

Winter in Northeast Ohio can be beautiful, but it also brings heavy snowfall that can put immense strain on your home—especially your roof. Snow accumulation, ice dams, and moisture infiltration can lead to costly repairs if not properly managed. At S&K Construction And Remodeling LLC, we specialize in providing expert roofing solutions to protect homes from the damaging effects of snow and ice.

How Snow Affects Your Roof

Snow may look light and fluffy, but when it piles up on your roof, it can cause serious issues. Here’s how:

1. Excessive Weight Load

Heavy snow accumulation can add thousands of pounds of extra weight to your roof, potentially leading to structural damage, sagging, or even collapse.

2. Ice Dams

When heat from your home melts snow on the roof, the water can refreeze at the eaves, forming ice dams. These prevent proper drainage and force water under shingles, leading to leaks and interior damage.

3. Water Leaks & Moisture Damage

Snow that sits on your roof for an extended period can melt and seep into cracks, causing leaks, mold growth, and structural deterioration.

4. Shingle & Gutter Damage

Repeated freeze-thaw cycles can cause shingles to crack and gutters to detach under the weight of ice, reducing the effectiveness of your roofing system.

Preventing Snow Damage with S&K Construction And Remodeling LLC

As a trusted roofing contractor, S&K Construction And Remodeling LLC offers expert solutions to protect your roof from snow-related damage. Here’s how we help homeowners safeguard their investment:

1. Professional Roof Inspections

Our team conducts thorough inspections to assess your roof’s condition and identify weak spots before winter arrives. We check for missing shingles, structural weaknesses, and areas prone to leaks.

2. Roof Reinforcement & Snow-Resistant Materials

We use high-quality, weather-resistant roofing materials to ensure your roof can handle heavy snowfall. Our services include:

• Installation of durable asphalt shingles
• Metal roofing for enhanced snow shedding
• Reinforced roof decking to prevent sagging

3. Ice and Water Shield Installation

To prevent leaks from ice dams, we install protective underlayment beneath shingles. This acts as a barrier against water infiltration, keeping your home dry even in extreme weather.

4. Gutter Maintenance & Ice Dam Prevention

• Cleaning and reinforcing gutters to handle winter storms
• Installing heated gutter guards and ice-melting cables to prevent blockages
• Improving attic insulation and ventilation to regulate roof temperature and prevent ice dam formation
