It's what all of the kids are asking! Is your roof ready for Ol' Saint Nick? Check it once or twice with our exclusive check list! 

  • Check Shingles - you wouldn't want Santa or his Reindeer to get caught up on a missing or out of place shingle, take a walk around the house to make sure everything is in its place. 

  • Watch for Ice Dams - ice dams are slippery and can cause serious problems to your roof. If this is a problem improper ventilation may be to blame.

  • Make Room for the Sleigh - clear your gutters of leaves and debris and make sure trees are trimmed away from your roof and chimney. Clogged gutters can lead to all sorts of problems, seasonal cleaning and maintenance are sure to keep your gutters & roof winter ready.

  • Leave The Snow - shoveling or raking your roof can cause damage to shingles, not to mention it's the perfect landing pad for Santa and his sleigh. Leave the snow removal to a professional and stay safe this holiday season! 

  • Down The Chimney - check for missing chimney flashing or bricks that can cause leaks and are usually an easy fix. It never hurts to have it cleaned for Santa too. Chimney caps are also a good way to protect against moisture, pests and debris. But don't worry, Santa still knows how to get through! 

Keeping your roof in tip-top shape is a sure way for your presents to make it beneath the tree this Christmas. Stay tuned for our ultimate dessert charcuterie tray that is sure to have you on Santa's nice list (with a surprise bonus for the kids)!
