Spring Roof Maintenance Checklist for NJ Homeowners

After a long New Jersey winter, your roof needs some TLC. Here’s our spring maintenance checklist to keep your roof in top shape all year.

☐ Inspect for Winter Damage

Look for missing, cracked, or curled shingles. Check for ice dam damage around the edges. Pay special attention to valleys and flashing — these are common leak points.

☐ Clean Gutters and Downspouts

Remove winter debris and ensure downspouts drain freely. Check gutter joints for leaks and re-caulk as needed.

☐ Check Attic Ventilation

Proper attic ventilation extends roof life. Check that soffit vents are clear and ridge vents are unobstructed.

☐ Trim Overhanging Branches

Branches that rub against shingles can wear them down. They also drop leaves and debris that trap moisture. Trim them back before spring growth.

☐ Schedule a Professional Inspection

The best way to catch problems early is a professional inspection. Schedule your free spring inspection with Lenny’s Roofers today.
