Spring Maintenance: Roofing Edition
Spring is here, which means it’s the perfect time to check in on the condition of your roof. Snow, ice, and high winds can leave behind damage that isn’t always obvious - until a spring rainstorm brings it front and center. At Woods Roofing, we recommend homeowners take a few simple steps each spring to make sure their roof is in top shape for the season ahead.
Look for Missing and Damaged Shingles
Take a good look at your roof from the ground up. If you spot any shingles that are curled, cracked, or missing entirely, it's time to schedule a repair. These small issues can turn into big leaks fast once spring storms roll in.
Check for Signs of Leaks Inside
Head up to your attic, or the highest floor in your home and look for water stains or damp insulation. These could be signs of a roof leak that started during winter and went unnoticed.
Clean Out Your Gutters
Clogged gutters can cause water to back up under your shingles and damage your fascia. Make sure leaves, twigs, and other debris are cleared out so water flows freely away from your roof and foundation.
Inspect Flashing
Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights can loosen or crack over time. Check these areas for signs of damage or separation. Water often sneaks through the smallest gaps.
Stay ahead of the Storm
Spring in South Dakota can bring everything from heavy rains to hail. A quick check now can save you stress (and money) later on. If you're unsure about what you're seeing or just want a second set of eyes, the team at Woods Roofing is always here to help.

Ice dams are one of the most frustrating and costly winter roofing problems for South Dakota homeowners. When snow melts on the warmer parts of your roof and refreezes along the edges, it creates a thick ridge of ice that traps water behind it. That trapped water can work its way under shingles, leak into your home, soak insulation, and cause long-term damage.
If you're thinking about upgrading your home with a steel panel roof, you're not alone. More homeowners across South Dakota are making the switch for its unmatched durability, clean appearance, and long-term value. But one of the first questions we get asked is - how much does a steel panel roof actually cost?
As the days get shorter and temperatures start to dip, fall is the season to make sure your home is ready for what's ahead. In Sioux Falls, that means preparing for the wind, snow, and freezing temps that can take a toll on your roof, siding, and everything in between.
