Protect Your Home Before the Heat and Storms Hit the Greater St. Louis Area
As the weather warms up in the Greater St. Louis area, many homeowners shift their attention to outdoor projects and summer plans. But before the full heat of summer sets in — along with the potential for strong storms — it’s important to make sure your roof is ready.
At Bade Roofing, we’ve seen firsthand how quickly minor issues can turn into major repairs when left unchecked during the hottest months. Here’s how to tell if it’s time for a roof inspection, and why early action can protect your home and save you money.
Shingles are your roof’s first line of defense. If they’re starting to curl, crack, or lose granules, your roof could be vulnerable to UV damage, leaks, and poor ventilation — all common concerns in the summer heat.
Keep an eye out for:
A hot attic might seem normal in the summer, but poor ventilation can lead to mold, higher energy bills, and shortened roof lifespan. If your attic feels especially stuffy or you’ve noticed musty odors, it could indicate that your roof’s ventilation system needs attention.
The Greater St. Louis area is no stranger to unpredictable spring weather. If your home experienced hail or high winds this spring, it’s smart to schedule a roof inspection — even if you don’t see visible damage. Small punctures or lifted shingles may not leak right away, but they can weaken the roof over time.
Interior signs like ceiling stains, peeling paint, or bubbling wall coverings often mean water is getting through your roof. These signs should never be ignored — they’re a clear signal that your roof needs attention.
If it’s been more than a year since a professional last looked at your roof, summer is the ideal time to schedule one. Even newer roofs benefit from routine checkups, and a quick inspection can catch problems before they become emergencies.
Schedule your summer inspection early. Roofing companies in the Greater St. Louis area book up quickly when storm season hits, so it’s best to get ahead of any potential issues now.
