Hurricane Sandy Marks Start of Brutal Winter Season

Snow, Rain, and High Winds Cause for Roofing Concern

Brutal Winter - Is Your Roof Prepared
Brutal Winter - Is Your Roof Prepared

When the expert meteorologists claimed earlier this year that this season could be a harsh one for Ontario, they seemed to have made an accurate prediction. The first major hurricane of winter is quickly approaching the United States eastern seaboard, and this monstrous hurricane will have an effect on parts of southern and eastern Ontario. This means a special danger for homes in need of roofing maintenance and repair.

We are no strangers to harsh winter weather, but 2012 poses a special type of threat, the likes of which we will see in the earlier parts of next week. While it is too early to tell if hurricane Sandy will cause major snow in the area, heavy winds and rains are expected to hit the area early next week. Roof Pro + recommends constant roof attention to ensure that a major disaster does not occur, but this will be especially important over the coming months. Now is the time to call your local roofing experts, and we are only a phone call away.

Our roofing specialists are specifically trained in all aspects of special Canadian roofing concerns, which are specialized due to our harsh winter hurricane and storm season. Far too many homeowners do not think of their roofing when preparing for this season, and we are here to inform you of the special measures that need to be taken before a major meteorological event occurs.

Roof Pro + offers roof diagnosis, maintenance, and repair services all year round, and we are here to service the Ontario community when you are in need. Furthermore, we offer special disaster roof services in the case of a collapse or other major event. We do not charge extra for our roofing specialty in these events, because it is impossible to predict the future. However, we can prepare for it. If your roof is in need of any type of maintenance, please call us today before it is too late.

Winter is Back in Ontario!

Long Winter Forecast Means Special Roofing Care a Necessity

Here in Ontario, we know exactly what it means to have a long, harsh, brutal winter, and homeowners know that this means extreme care and attention must be paid to the condition of one’s roof before the winter storms begin. Our rugged Canadian climate can be unmerciful this time of year, and here at Roof Pro +, we want to make sure you are prepared for an arduous winter season. As your local roofing professionals, it is our duty to inform you that this winter will be nothing like the last.

We had a break last year in Ontario, as the winter season was surprisingly short. With our informed and knowledgeable community, there were fewer roofing disasters than expected, especially with regard to our own clients. This is because we make sure that all your roofing needs are taken care of far in advance. We specialize in all aspects of roofing, but place special emphasis on regular roofing maintenance and make sure that you are protected before the winter months hit. Nothing is worse than a major roofing calamity during a harsh winter storm, so we do our best to make sure our clients are prepared to face such a disaster.

Unfortunately, this year is expected to be nothing like the last. While the short winter season gave many of us a great sense of hope, this season is expected to be long and harsh. Apparently, this winter season is supposed to be longer and colder than in previous years, with “blizzard-like” conditions in Ontario’s Snowbelt. With these ominous weather predictions, we want to make sure our community understands the dangers this harsh winter will produce for homeowners, especially in regard to your roofing situation.

You do not need a roofing professional to tell you that weather conditions and stresses pose the greatest threat to your roofing situation. Nor do we need to explain that having a strong roof that can stand the winter months is imperative to the security and protection of your family. These facts are common sense. However, as your leading Ontario roofers, we must implore you to have an expert check the condition of your roof to make sure it is 100% before the winter months arrive. Roof Pro + is your leader in roof maintenance and disaster prevention, so please call us before this long, harsh winter is upon us.

Roofing Management and Winter Storms

Post-Tropical Storm Leslie Reminds Homeowners of Roofing Importance

Last month, post-tropical storm Leslie pounded Newfoundland, causing power outages, uprooted trees, and roof devastation. While those accustomed to the harsh Canadian climate are fully aware of these dangers, it serves as an important reminder of the necessity of proper roofing. Roofing maintenance and inspection should be performed regularly, especially with the prevalence and power of Canada’s rugged winter storms.

We live in a beautiful area of pristine wildlife and iconic winter views, but this majestic location can be very dangerous as well. In order to properly protect your home and family, proper roofing may be the most important aspect of living in the Ontario area. Disaster preparedness should be at the forefront of any homeowner’s mind, and roofing is at the top of this list. While backup power, emergency kits, and crisis planning are all important, having a durable and healthy roof may be the most essential factor during a crisis.

Far too many homeowners do not think about their roofing situation until it is too late. The roof is seen as an afterthought, an aspect of the home that only needs attention when there is a definite need for repair. Nothing could be further from the truth. Roofing is subjected to the harshest of the elements, constantly being tested, battered, and belted with harsh winter weather. Much like a vehicle, regular inspection and maintenance is necessary before real trouble occurs. If this is not done, a winter storm can become a calamity that may cost you thousands.
