Give Your Roof a Pre-Winter Check-Up
Your roof is your best defence. Get a roof inspection before the cold weather season sets in to check for loose shingles, cracks, or leaks. Even minor problems can turn into catastrophic catastrophes when the storms and heavy downpours hit.
Not sure what to check for? We’ll check your roof and gutters — so you won’t have to wonder what’s going on up there.
Trim Trees That Might Threaten Your Roof
Heavy rain and strong winds have a way of causing overhanging branches to break, ruining your roof, vehicle, or windows. It’s time for storm damage tree trimming and trimming back anything that may be a hazard.
JK Gutter Cleaning provides expert trimming for your home before the next storm arrives.
Clean Skylights and Solar Panels for Maximum Efficiency
Winter doesn’t equal less sunlight, but grimy skylights and panels can keep it out. Knowing how to clean skylights serves to illuminate your home naturally and cut down on mould growth inside.
For solar owners, ensure your panels are working at maximum capacity. Cleaning them now equals lower bills down the line — and if you haven’t already, consider bird proofing solar panels to prevent nesting birds from clogging efficiency or harming your system.
Keep Birds from Nesting in the Wrong Places
Freezing temperatures equate to birds needing warmth, in many cases under solar panels or in roof space. With quality bird proofing solar panels installation, you avoid droppings, impaired airflow, and fire risks posed by nesting debris.
It’s humane, functional, and lets your panels do their job winter after winter.
