Cherry Hill, NJ -- (SBWire) -- 10/20/2017 --As winter approaches, Alan Cherry's Exteriors is advising homeowners to remain vigilant when it comes to the amount of snow and ice that they allow to pile onto their roofs.

Residents who are planning for winter are encouraged to stay on top of best practices when it comes to avoiding seasonal roofing damage, and to keep the number for a trusted Camden County, NJ roofing contractor such as Alan Cherry's Exteriors saved should they notice any structural damage or sinking caused by snow this winter.

Many homeowners may underestimate the amount of damage that snow can cause to a roof because they do not fully understand how heavy snow can be when accumulated in large amounts. While a handful of snow may weigh only a few ounces, a cubic inch of snow is estimated to weigh about one pound.

This means that should just a foot of snow be left to pile on top of a roof, it can potentially add over one thousand pounds of excess pressure to the roofing material. This can cause sagging and lead to damage that may require roofing repair or replacement by the time spring rolls around. Residents are advised to keep their roofs clear of snow when they notice that six inches or more has begun to pile on top of their homes.
