Powerhouse Home Improvements, a trusted Pittsburgh roofing contractor led by local expert John Polosky, is urging Western Pennsylvania homeowners to schedule professional end-of-summer roof inspections now—before fall storms bring heavy rain, high winds, and early snow. The company warns that late-summer roof checkups can prevent costly leaks, structural damage, and emergency repairs averaging $8,000–$12,000.

“People think of spring as the big inspection time, but late summer is just as important,” says Polosky. “The combination of summer sun, humidity, and storms can weaken shingles, flashing, and gutters. If you don’t address that now, the first big fall storm can push your roof past its breaking point.”

Industry data shows that a pre-fall inspection can prevent repair bills averaging thousands of dollars for water damage, mold remediation, and structural issues. Common late-summer problems include:

• Heat-Weakened Shingles – High UV exposure can cause curling or cracking.
• Storm Damage – Summer hail or heavy rains can loosen flashing or create leaks.
• Clogged Gutters – Debris from summer storms can block water flow, leading to overflow and rot.

Polosky stresses that a professional inspection is not just about spotting damage—it’s about prevention. “Our team knows where to look for early warning signs the average homeowner might miss. We’ve caught issues that could have caused thousands in damage within just one or two more storms.”

Homeowners are advised to book inspections before mid-September, when roofing contractors often become fully booked responding to emergency calls.
