Keeping your roof in top shape is one of the smartest ways to protect your home—and your wallet. With South Okanagan’s hot summers, snowy winters, and rainy springs, your roof goes through a lot. While the metal roofs we install are super strong, regular seasonal maintenance can extend the lifespan and help you avoid expensive surprises.

Spring: Inspect After Winter

Check for metal panels that might be missing or damaged due to snow or ice.

Clear debris from gutters and downspouts to prevent water backing up and causing damage.

Look for signs of moisture or staining in your attic.

Summer: Prep for Heat & Fire Season

Trim overhanging branches that can drop debris or become fire hazards.

Ensure metal flashing is intact and sealed properly.

Fall: Prepare for Rain & Snow

Remove fallen leaves and pine needles from your roof and gutters.

Inspect roof vents and ensure they are clear and functioning.

Schedule the Nielsen team for an inspection for metal panel cracks or indoor leaks.

Winter: Keep Watch for Ice Dams

Ensure you have adequate attic insulation and ventilation to prevent ice from forming.

Look for icicles—these often signal poor drainage or airflow.

Keep an eye out for heavy snow buildup, especially on low-slope roofs.
