Up on the rooftop!

Make sure you pay attention to your rooftop maintenance, not just on Christmas Eve, but all year long! Replace missing shingles that disappear around vents and chimneys, as soon as you spot them. This will prevent water leaking into your home interior. Although roofing shingles come with a manufacturer guarantee, they are only a guarantee regarding manufacturer defects. That guarantee does not specify how long the actual roof will last, when outside elements vary between different regions and different climates. One final thought on this Christmas Eve, take steps to ensure proper attic ventilation all year long. If it is cold outside, it should also be cold in your attic space. Merry Christmas to all!
