John Keller Roofing, a Central Florida roofing contractor with over 25 years of local experience, has released a winter roofing advisory to help homeowners and businesses identify and avoid the most common seasonal maintenance errors that can lead to costly repairs.
Drawing on decades of service throughout the Orlando region, the family-owned company has outlined five key issues frequently observed during the winter months. These oversights, often underestimated due to Florida’s relatively mild winters, can still result in significant property damage if left unaddressed.
Five Most Common Winter Roofing Mistakes in Florida
Based on historical service data and seasonal trends, the company identified the following critical maintenance issues:
- Ignoring minor leaks or ceiling stains: Even small water spots may indicate hidden damage. Left uninspected, these can lead to mold growth, compromised insulation, or structural issues.
- Delaying post-hurricane roof inspections: The absence of visible storm damage often leads to skipped inspections. However, undetected vulnerabilities can be exposed during winter rains.
- Underestimating the impact of Florida’s winter weather: While snowfall is rare, increased moisture and fluctuating temperatures can degrade shingles, sealants, and flashing—particularly on older roofs.
- Hiring unlicensed or out-of-state contractors: Temporary or unverified contractors may offer low-cost repairs that don’t meet Florida’s building codes or address local climate concerns.
- Neglecting debris removal from gutters and roof valleys: Accumulated organic matter can retain moisture and accelerate roof deterioration, increasing the risk of leaks.
“We see it every year—issues that begin as minor often escalate into major repairs,” said John Keller, owner of John Keller Roofing. “The purpose of this advisory is to raise awareness and help local property owners mitigate preventable risks during the colder months.”
