Winter Storms, Ice Damage & Your Roof — From One Woman-Owned Team to Another Busy Homeowner
Winter storms in Georgia don’t always look extreme, but they can still quietly damage your roof—especially during ice events. And if you’re like most of the women we work with, you’re already managing work, family, finances, and a never-ending to-do list. Roofing isn’t something you want to add to it.
That’s why we do things differently. We’re a women-owned roofing company, and we understand what it’s like to carry a lot. Our job is to make sure your roof is one less thing you have to worry about.
A Story From the Last Ice Storm 🤍
During the last winter ice storm, one of our clients—let’s call her Sarah—reached out to us feeling overwhelmed. She had just gotten her kids settled after school closures, noticed water spots forming on her ceiling, and had no idea if it was serious or “just one of those things.”
She told us, “I don’t even know where to start—and I don’t have the bandwidth to deal with this.”
We came out, walked her through everything calmly, showed her photos of what was happening, and handled the insurance side so she didn’t have to make ten extra phone calls. The issue? Ice had caused minor shingle cracking and an early ice dam that pushed water back under the roofline.
We fixed it quickly—before it turned into a bigger, more expensive problem.
A week later she texted us:“Thank you for making this so easy. I didn’t feel stressed once—and that never happens.”
That’s the experience we aim to give every homeowner.
How Winter & Ice Can Damage Your Roof (Without You Realizing)
Cold weather and ice don’t always cause obvious damage right away. The most common issues we see after winter storms include:
Cracked or brittle shingles from freezing temperatures
Ice dams (often noticed by large icicles hanging from the roofline)
Water stains on ceilings or walls, especially near exterior rooms
Sagging gutters or gutters pulling away due to frozen debris
Cold drafts or damp insulation in the attic
These symptoms often show up after the storm has passed—which is why they’re easy to miss.
