As Western Pennsylvania emerges from another harsh winter, BBB-accredited Powerhouse Home Improvements announces their comprehensive spring roof maintenance program, urging homeowners to schedule inspections before March’s end to prepare for peak spring storm season.
“Winter weather can be devastating to Pittsburgh roofs,” explains John Polosky, Owner of Powerhouse Home Improvements. “While our typical spring maintenance inspection costs a fraction of emergency repairs, addressing winter damage after spring storms can exceed $10,000, especially when interior water damage occurs. The freeze-thaw cycles we experience can create hidden damage that, if left unchecked, often leads to serious issues during spring storms.”
Understanding Pittsburgh’s Winter Damage and Spring Storm Connection
Pittsburgh’s winter weather creates a perfect storm of conditions that compromise roof integrity just as spring’s severe weather arrives. The region’s frequent freeze-thaw cycles cause ice damming along roof edges, while microscopic cracks from winter’s freezing and thawing become natural entry points for spring’s driving rains. What starts as a hairline crack in February can develop into a significant leak by April, particularly during Pittsburgh’s intense spring thunderstorms, which often bring winds exceeding 50 mph and rainfall rates of more than an inch per hour.
Local homeowner Sarah Matthews experienced this firsthand last spring: “We thought the small winter damage to our roof wasn’t urgent. By May, we had extensive water damage in our master bedroom. Powerhouse not only repaired everything but showed us how their preventative maintenance program could have saved us thousands. This year, we’re not taking any chances.”
Professional Spring Assessment and Long-Term Protection
Powerhouse’s spring maintenance program begins with a thorough evaluation specifically designed to identify winter damage before spring storms arrive. Their certified technicians examine both visible surface damage and subtle signs of winter stress, paying particular attention to roof valleys and areas around chimneys and vents, where winter damage most commonly occurs and spring storms often exploit weaknesses.
Following the inspection, Powerhouse’s team develops a customized maintenance plan that addresses both immediate concerns and preventative measures. Their integrated approach ensures all components of a home’s exterior work together to provide maximum protection against Pittsburgh’s demanding weather patterns.
Serving high-demand Pittsburgh areas including Robinson Township, Cranberry Township, Sewickley, Moon Township, Canonsburg, and Upper St. Clair, Powerhouse continues to lead Pittsburgh’s home improvement industry through their BBB Accreditation with consistent A+ rating and nearly perfect 4.9-star Google Reviews rating.
