Vision in White: Why Snow on Your Roof After a Storm is a GOOD Thing

I'm going to ask you to do something a little crazy, but bear with me, it'll be worth it.

Ready?

Okay. The next time it snows, wait a few hours until the storm has stopped, then run outside and look at your roof. What do you see?

Are you seeing a vision in white--A roof completely covered in snow? Or patches of white and snow already starting to melt?

If you said the latter, patches of white and snow already melting, you might be in trouble.

You see, missing and melting snow indicates that you're losing a lot of heat through your roof. That means your attic is poorly insulated. Homes with good attic insulation will have a roof covered in the white stuff.

So if your roof isn't covered in snow a few hours after a snowstorm, it could mean you're wasting precious money on your utility bill for heat that is escaping through your roof. Money is literally going through your roof!

Don't worry--we can help. We can help you save money on your heating bill this winter by offering you a FREE, NO OBLIGATION insulation audit. Not only will we look at your attic, but other potentially leaky areas of your home, like your basement, walls and crawl spaces. Your basement rim joists allow cold winter air to seap in, uninsulated walls are known to allow unwanted air too, and crawl spaces under living spaces create damp floors.

So the next time it snows, check out your roof. If it's not covered with snow, contact us--you might need an insulation upgrade. And if you're driving around and notice other roofs with the same problem, be a good neighbor and tell your neighbors to contact us too.
