At Bros Roofing, we like to think of your roof as the unsung hero of your home—it works 24/7, year-round, standing guard against blazing sun, driving snow, and everything in between. But like any hardworking hero, it needs a little attention now and then to stay in top shape.
That’s where seasonal roof checkups come in. Think of them as your roof’s routine wellness visits. Just like regular doctor’s appointments catch small issues before they turn into big problems, our seasonal inspections keep your roof healthy, strong, and ready for whatever Western Colorado’s weather dishes out.
If you want your roof to go the distance—lasting longer, performing better, and protecting your home without surprise breakdowns—here’s how seasonal checkups can make all the difference.
Why Seasonal Checkups Matter
Roofs aren’t designed to be “install and forget.” Over time, sun, wind, rain, snow, and temperature swings all leave their mark. Seasonal inspections allow us to spot early signs of wear so you can address them before they become expensive repairs.
In Grand Junction and throughout Western Colorado, we see a wide range of weather—from scorching summer heat to heavy winter snow. These changes affect roofing materials differently, which is why having a professional set of eyes on your roof every spring and fall is so important.
What We Look for During a Seasonal Checkup
When we perform a seasonal roof checkup, we’re not just glancing at shingles from the driveway. We get up close to make sure every part of your roofing system is working as it should.
Here’s what’s on our inspection list:
- Shingles – Checking for curling, cracking, missing pieces, or granule loss.
- Flashing – Inspecting the metal seals around chimneys, vents, and skylights for gaps, rust, or lifting.
- Gutters and Downspouts – Making sure they’re clear and draining properly to prevent water backup.
- Roof Valleys – Looking for debris buildup or signs of water pooling.
- Ventilation – Ensuring your attic vents are clear so air can circulate and prevent heat or moisture damage.
- Sealants – Examining caulking around penetrations for cracking or shrinkage.
- Signs of Leaks – Checking both the roof surface and the attic for water stains or damp spots.
By catching these issues early, we can help you avoid major damage and extend the life of your roof by years.
Season-by-Season Benefits
Spring
After a long winter, snow, ice, and wind can leave your roof vulnerable. We check for any damage from freeze-thaw cycles, ice dams, or heavy snow loads. This is also the time to clear out any debris that’s collected in valleys and gutters.
Summer
Colorado summers bring strong UV rays and sudden storms. We look for early signs of sun damage, inspect for wind-lifted shingles, and make sure flashing is still holding strong.
Fall
Before winter arrives, we prepare your roof for snow and ice. This means checking ventilation, clearing gutters to prevent ice dams, and addressing any weak spots that could be stressed by heavy snow loads.
Winter (as needed)
While we don’t recommend walking on a snow-covered roof, we can assess certain issues from the ground and help you address problems like ice buildup before they cause damage.

Our goal isn’t just to maintain your roof—it’s to make sure you feel confident and informed about the condition of your home’s first line of defense.
The Long-Term Payoff of Seasonal Roof Checkups
Investing in seasonal roof inspections pays off in more ways than one:
- Longer roof lifespan – Minor repairs now mean fewer major replacements later.
- Lower repair costs – Small issues are cheaper to fix than major damage.
- Improved home value – A well-maintained roof is a selling point for buyers.
- Peace of mind – You’ll know your roof is ready for whatever weather comes next.
We’ve seen firsthand how regular maintenance can help homeowners avoid costly emergencies. A small leak caught in April won’t have a chance to turn into a major repair by October.
