Winter in the Rogue Valley is typically wet. It comes with rain and winds, sometimes snow. All these add stress to your roof. The best preparation breaks down to simple steps that can be done by any homeowner or a professional roofer like us at Rogue Valley Roofing. We have been serving Southern Oregon for more than 20 years now, helping homeowners keep their houses well-protected.

Inspect and Repair Shingles

Look for shingles that are missing, cracked, or curling. Even slight damage will allow water to get in during heavy storms. Making small repairs now can save you a full roof replacement later.

Clean Gutters and Downspouts

Clogged gutters will make water flow backward and eventually destroy the roof and siding. Ensure that all leaves and debris are removed to allow free flow of water. If needed, our gutter services can help protect your home.

Check Flashing and Skylights

Check the flashing around chimneys, vents, or skylights. This is a common source of leaks. Make sure it is sealed and in good condition. Learn more about maintaining skylights on our Skylight Installation page

Trim Overhanging Branches

Shingles or gutters are left vulnerable to falling branches during a storm. Even now, overhanging branches need to be trimmed that could possibly scrape or fall on your roof.

Schedule a Professional Inspection

A licensed roofer will spot hidden problems, reinforce weak spots-and leave the roof better than new. Rogue Valley Roofing has experts available for inspections and repairs in Medford, Ashland, and Grants Pass.

Final Tip

Do not wait for the leaks to start- winter storms can quickly turn small problems into big ones. Preparing your roof now will save you money, protect your home, and keep your family safe.
