Spring is finally here, and with it comes the perfect opportunity to give your house a thorough maintenance check. After a long winter, your home might need some TLC to ensure it stays in top condition. At Aspen Exteriors, we know that regular maintenance is essential to protect your home and extend its lifespan.

Hail Damage Roof
For many homeowners around the country, summer has officially arrived! The kids are out of school, pools are open, and the temperatures are soaring. While this can be a great time of year for cookouts, spending time with family and vacations, the beginning of the summer season also means an increased threat of hail damage.  In the month of May this year, more than 20 states across the country reported hailstones greater than one inch in size.  1” Hail Doesn’t Seem That Big. Should I Really Be Concerned About Damage?  Hail can begin to cause damage when it is around one inch in size, so while it may not seem like cause for concern, if you’ve had hail of this size in your area, it is a good idea to have your roof inspected – just in case!

Hail On Roof
Hail storm season is officially here! In the United States, hail storms become more common from May until August. As experts in storm damage restoration, we are very knowledgeable about the effects of hail and how it can present a significant problem for homeowners during the spring season.  What is Hail?  Hail forms when thunderstorm updrafts carry raindrops upward into the extremely cold atmosphere. They grow by being coated with liquid water that freezes onto the surface. If the water freezes instantaneously, the hailstones will be cloudy. If it freezes slowly, the hailstones will be clear. Hail falls in response to gravity when it becomes heavy enough to overcome the updraft. The speed at which they fall depends on hailstone size, friction with the surrounding air, local wind conditions, and how much they have melted since forming. Here are the expected falling speeds based on hailstone diameter: Smaller than 1 inch: 9 – 25 mph Between...

Ice Icicles On The Roofs Of Houses 2021 08 31 10 33 37 Utc
Spring has officially arrived, and we are looking forward to warmer temperatures! While most homeowners are excited to welcome the new season after a long and cold winter, it is important to remember that thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hail become a greater threat throughout the next several months. We are here to help you prepare your home for these weather conditions!  What Icicles Can Mean for Your Roof  First and foremost, it is important to consider how your roof has held up through the winter, and take action if necessary. If you’ve noticed icicles on your home, this can be a sign that you have insulation issues. When the heat in your home reaches your attic due to poor insulation, it causes snow and ice to melt, flow down your roof, and re-freeze – forming icicles.  You will want to ensure your chimney or flue is sealed to avoid leaks heating your roof and thus causing...

As a busy homeowner, a minor leak in your roof may not be your biggest priority. If it isn’t causing a huge inconvenience or only seems to be a problem occasionally, it can be easy to put it at the bottom of your to-do list! While a minor leak in your roof may not seem like a big deal, it is so important to have these inspected and repaired as quickly as possible.  They can be deprioritized when they aren’t directly impacting your living space or only become a nuisance now and then. However, a seemingly small leak can end up costing you much more in the long run when not resolved promptly.  It is important to recognize that even though a leak may seem minor, it could be causing greater problems within the walls of your home.  We say it often in the storm damage repair field: just because it is “out of sight”...
