Spring is a good time to check your roof for any damage from the winter weather. From the ground look to make sure there aren’t any missing shingles, lumps or raised shingles. Look to make sure none of your ridge shingles (these are the shingles that are along the peak of the roof) have blown off. If you go up on your roof check all the vents to make sure they are intact and look to see if any nails have popped back out and through the shingle. Look at the valleys (where two roof lines meet at a downward angle) to make sure none of the shingles have lifted or buckled. Before you go up on the roof make sure your ladder isn’t placed near any over head power lines and is sitting on level ground. To be on the safe side have someone assist you in holding the ladder in place while you climb up and down. See the user directions printed on your ladder.
