How Maryland Spring Weather Can Impact Your Roof—and What You Can Do About It
Spring in Maryland is beautiful—but also unpredictable. From temperature swings to sudden thunderstorms, this season can take a toll on your roof. Here’s what homeowners should watch for and how to protect their property:
- Winter Damage Revealed
As the snow and ice of winter melt away, hidden damage may come to light—cracked shingles, loose flashing, or sagging gutters. A spring inspection is a must. - Wind and Rain Stress
Strong spring winds and heavy rain can test the integrity of your roof. Loose or missing shingles can quickly lead to leaks and water damage inside your home. - Moss and Algae Growth
With increased moisture and warmer weather, roofs can become breeding grounds for moss or algae—especially if shaded. These can degrade your shingles over time. - UV Exposure
Don’t underestimate spring sun! UV rays can wear down older roofing materials, especially asphalt shingles nearing the end of their lifespan.
