<p>Spring is the right time to check for winter damage — look for lifted or missing shingles, clear any debris that built up over winter, and check gutters and downspouts before spring rain arrives.</p>
<p>Alberta's climate puts a roof through more extreme swings than most parts of the country — hot, hail-prone summers, sudden Chinook warm spells in the middle of winter, and hard freezes in between. Timing certain roofing tasks around the season can meaningfully affect both cost and how well the work holds up.</p>
<p>Practically speaking, the easiest way to stay ahead of this is to tie roof-related tasks to a date you already remember — for example, right after the spring thaw and right before the first hard frost — rather than trying to remember on an ad hoc basis.</p>
<p>It's also a good time to book an inspection ahead of hail season, while contractors are less busy than during peak summer storm response.</p>
