Roof damage in winter demands prompt attention to prevent further issues. Ice and heavy snow can reveal cracks and vulnerabilities, necessitating immediate action.

How well does your roof handle snow? In Alberta, we are no strangers to heavy snowfall and high winds that can result in snow avalanches, or roof collapses. While a higher-pitched roof can help to avoid leaks, the incline is not your friend when it comes to metal roofs. So how do you stop the risk of falling snow? The answer: snow guards.
Since 2007, Knights Roofing has looked for opportunities to change the game of roofing. Your roof is one of the most important parts of a home or commercial space. Like a true knight, the roof helps to protect the interior from the cold, dirt, snow, rain, sun, and wind. It prevents health hazards, minimizes potential danger, retains heat, and shields all the precious cargo inside. Ensuring this foundational part of your home and its protection is the first step to providing peace of mind.
Are the cold hands and feet back already? As the summer heat is on its way out, more time spent indoors means we are aware of things going on at home. Drafts and high energy bills this early in the season are a warning sign for a cold winter ahead, but it doesn’t have to be like that. Roof insulation is one of the most common causes of colder homes, and it is becoming a more valuable investment in your home as the weather shifts.
