How to Prepare Your Roof for Monsoon Season in the Verde Valley
August 22, 2025
1. Walk Around. Look Up. Anything Seem Off?
- Shingles that look cracked, curled, or missing altogether
- Gaps between tiles or along the ridge
- Discolored patches that weren’t there last season
2. Clean Out the Gutters (Yes, Even If It Was “Fine Last Year”)
- Scoop out old leaves and dirt
- Run water through the downspouts to make sure they drain freely
- Check that nothing is sagging or pulling away from the fascia
3. Trim Back Trees That Could Turn into Trouble
- Overhanging limbs above your roofline
- Dead or brittle branches that could break off easily
- Fast-growing trees too close to the home
4. Take a Closer Look at the Flashing
- Rust or corrosion
- Bent or lifted edges
- Gaps or cracked sealant around pipes or dormers
5. Reinforce the Roof Where It Counts
- Recoat flat roofs to prevent water pooling
- Secure fasteners on metal panels that have expanded in the heat
- Patch wear and tear on underlayment or sealants
6. If a Storm Does Hit, Don’t Panic—Just Act Quickly
- Stay off the roof—it’s not worth the risk
- Use buckets, towels, or tarps to contain leaks
- Take clear photos for your insurance company
- Call us—we’ll get you on the schedule for emergency repair
7. Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late
