When the big bad wolf came to town, only one house remained standing. While some may say it’s because that house was made of bricks, it also must have had a strong roof to weather the huffs and puffs. A home is only as strong as its roof, and a roof is only as good as how well it’s installed. If you are in the market for a new roof to protect your home, it’s extremely important to choose the right contractor!

How Your Roof Protects You

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense. It redirects the wind up and over your home in hurricanes and other storms, and also keeps you dry, warm and safe from harm through every kind of weather.

Much of your roof’s protection comes from its materials, but the installation is also critical. If one corner wasn’t fastened properly, it could potentially mean detrimental damage to your home.

Choosing the Right Contractor

To get the protection you need, choose a local contractor who understands Columbia’s weather patterns and what you need to protect your home from. You’ll also want someone who is experienced in both installing new roofs and performing repairs so that they understand the small details that can make the difference between a solid installation and potential pitfalls for major damage down the road.

If you pay attention and keep an eye out for the signs of a winter roof leak, you may have a chance to get it repaired before the spring showers arrive. Here are a few signs of a roof leak you should keep an eye out for this winter.

Keep an eye out for these subtle signs. If you see any combination of these things, it’s clear that it’s time to call the Premiere professionals to check out your roof.

Stains on the Ceiling or Walls: You may see a brown stain on the ceiling that indicates water has dripped through your roof or attic. Look for these stains specifically around light fixtures or in the corners of rooms.
Spots or mold on exterior walls: Keep an eye out for stains or signs of mold growth on your exterior walls as well. If there’s something on the outside, there’s a good chance that moisture has also gotten between the exterior and interior walls of your home.
Intermittent dripping: As temperatures fall below freezing in the evenings and early mornings, water can form an ice dam on the roof. The pressure of the ice can force itself under shingles. Then, when the weather warms, that melting water may leak into your home. Check in closets and cupboards. Even if the dripping stops, you should still have the source of it explored.
