Avoid winter roofing emergencies by starting roof repairs now. 

Winter is coming and with it comes some of the harshest weather of the year. If your roof is already damaged, winter weather can take a significant toll on the roof and the repairs will be costly. It’s better to fix your roof now than wait for temperatures to drop. All building owners should be prepared to withstand the harsh weather and Showalter Commercial Roofing is here to show the importance of reliable roofs during the winter.  

The importance of timely repairs 

Winter weather is no joke. Heavy snow, ice and freezing temperatures can take a toll on your commercial roof, especially if it’s already showing signs of wear and tear. Small issues like leaks, cracks or drainage issues can quickly escalate into major problems when exposed to winter’s extreme conditions and storm damage. Not only can these issues lead to costly repairs, but they can also disrupt your business operations. 

Getting professional roofing maintenance and repairs done now ensures your property is protected from potential leaks, structural damage and energy loss. At Showalter Roofing, our expert roofing team is equipped to handle any type of roof repair. We use high-quality materials and proven techniques to extend the life of your roof, giving you peace of mind as winter approaches. 

Is it time for a roof replacement? 

Sometimes, repairs aren’t enough to keep your roof in top shape, especially if your roof is nearing the end of its 15-30 year lifespan. If you’ve noticed persistent roofing problems like frequent leaks, sagging or significant wear on your roof’s surface, it might be time to consider a full roof replacement. 

A new roof not only provides better protection against winter weather but also improves your building’s energy efficiency and curb appeal. Showalter Roofing specializes in commercial roof replacements, offering a wide range of quality roofing materials designed to withstand tough winters. Our experienced team will guide you through the replacement process, ensuring your new roof is installed to the highest standards of the roofing industry. 

Why act now? 

Waiting until winter to address roofing issues can lead to more extensive damage and higher repair costs. Snow and ice can exacerbate existing problems like a leaking roof, making repairs more challenging and potentially causing interior damage to your property. Additionally, roofing contractors tend to get busier as winter approaches, so scheduling your repair or replacement now ensures you receive prompt service. 

By taking care of your roofing needs before winter, you can avoid the stress and expense of emergency repairs during the coldest months of the year. Plus, with a well-maintained or newly installed roof, your building will be better equipped to handle whatever winter throws its way.
