Your roof works year-round against Oklahoma weather — summer heat, spring hail, and winter ice. A few hours of seasonal maintenance, twice a year, is the cheapest way to extend its life and catch small problems before they become insurance claims. Work through the spring and fall checklists below, check off each task as you complete it, then print your finished checklist for the record.

Spring Checklist
After winter storms and before summer heat — inspect for winter damage and prep for storm season.
Fall Checklist
Before freezing temperatures arrive — clear debris, seal gaps, and prep for winter weather.
Inspect your roof at least twice a year — once in spring and once in fall — plus after any severe storm. Spring catches winter damage before summer heat sets in; fall prepares the roof for freezing temperatures and heavy precipitation.
Why is spring roof maintenance important in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma winters bring ice, wind, and temperature swings that can loosen shingles, crack flashing seals, and overload gutters. A spring checklist run-through — clearing gutters, checking for granule loss, and inspecting flashing — catches small problems before they turn into leaks or insurance claims.
What happens if I skip fall roof maintenance?
Leaves and debris trapped in valleys and gutters hold moisture against the roof deck through winter. Freeze-thaw cycles can then lift shingles, damage flashing, and cause ice dams. A fall cleanup and pre-winter inspection are the cheapest insurance your roof has.
Can I do roof maintenance myself?
Many checklist items are safe DIY tasks: cleaning gutters from the ground, trimming branches, and doing visual inspections from the ground or a ladder. Walking on the roof is risky — shingles can be slippery and brittle — so leave roof-level work to a licensed contractor like Proof Construction (CIB #80004070).
