As the warm breezes of summer approach New Jersey, it’s time for homeowners to turn their attention to an often-overlooked part of their home: the roof. At Yukor Construction LLC, we understand that a well-maintained roof is crucial for protecting your home during the hot and potentially stormy summer months. Here’s your comprehensive guide to preparing your roof for the New Jersey summer.
Why Summer Roof Preparation Matters
1. Heat Protection: A properly maintained roof helps keep your home cool and energy-efficient.
2. Storm Readiness: New Jersey summers can bring sudden storms; a prepared roof is your first line of defense.
3. Preventing Water Damage: Summer rains can expose weaknesses in your roof, leading to leaks and water damage.
4. Extending Roof Life: Regular maintenance can significantly extend the lifespan of your roof.
Your Summer Roof Preparation Checklist
1. Conduct a Visual Inspection
– Look for missing, cracked, or curling shingles

– Inspect the flashing for any signs of damage or separation
2. Clean and Repair Gutters
– Remove debris from gutters and downspouts
– Ensure gutters are securely attached to the fascia

3. Trim Overhanging Branches
– Remove branches that could fall on your roof during summer storms
– Trim back trees to reduce debris accumulation on your roof
4. Check Attic Ventilation
– Ensure proper attic ventilation to prevent heat buildup
