As warmer weather settles into the Treasure Valley, May marks a critical window for Boise homeowners to prepare their roofs for the hot, dry summer ahead. While roofing issues may seem out of sight and out of mind after winter, this is actually the perfect time to catch minor damage before it becomes a costly problem.

Why May Matters for Your Roof

In our area, roofs endure extreme seasonal swings—from snow in winter to high UV exposure in summer. May offers moderate temperatures and relatively dry weather, which makes it ideal for roof inspections and repairs. Roofing contractors can safely work on your home without the delays or hazards that come with winter snow or peak summer heat.

Common Roofing Problems After Winter

Even if your roof looks fine from the ground, Boise’s winter weather and spring winds can quietly damage:

• Shingles: May reveals curled, cracked, or missing shingles more clearly.

• Flashing: Ice dams and meltwater may have weakened seals around vents, chimneys, and skylights.

• Gutters: Clogged or loose gutters may cause drainage issues that lead to water damage or foundation erosion.

• Attic Ventilation: A poorly ventilated attic can trap heat as summer approaches, raising energy bills and shortening roof lifespan.

Maximize the Lifespan of Your Roof

Scheduling a professional roof inspection in May helps homeowners:

• Extend the life of their roof

• Catch issues early and avoid expensive summer repairs

• Prepare for fire season (especially in surrounding rural or wooded areas)

• Boost curb appeal before listing the home on the market

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re dealing with an aging roof or simply want peace of mind before summer storms and heatwaves hit, May is the smartest time to act. Boise homeowners who wait too long often face longer contractor wait times and more severe issues later in the season.
