Upcoming Outdoor Events to Keep in Mind
Planning to enjoy the outdoors? The Queen Charlotte Fair is happening at Route 29 Pavilion in Concord from June 19 to July 5, 2025, featuring rides, food, and family fun. If you visit during the advisory window, consider attending during cooler hours (early morning or evening), dress appropriately, and take frequent breaks in the shade or indoors.
How Extreme Heat Affects Your Roof
Your roof is on the front lines during a heat wave. High temperatures can cause shingles to expand, warp, or even crack, especially if your roof is older or already damaged. Over time, this can lead to leaks, higher cooling bills, and even structural issues. Curious whether your roof can handle this heat? It’s a valid concern—Concord’s summer sun can be relentless.
Preventative Measures to Protect Your Roof
- Inspect your attic: Ensure proper insulation and ventilation to prevent heat build-up under your roof.
- Check for visible damage: Walk around your home (from the ground) and look for missing, curling, or blistered shingles.
- Clear gutters and downspouts: Blocked gutters can worsen heat-related damage by causing moisture to back up under shingles.
- Schedule a professional inspection: Not sure what to look for? Request a free roof inspection—we’ll identify potential issues before they turn into expensive repairs.
