Get Your Roof Ready Before the Next Big Storm
Roofing Tips That Work This Spring & Summer

As spring turns into summer in Minersville, PA, we trade in snow shovels for lawn chairs—but the warmer months bring their own set of challenges for your home. Schuylkill County's spring and summer storms can arrive quickly and with force. Between torrential rains, high winds, hail, and flash flooding, your roof is your home’s first defense against the elements.

At Brahler Contracting, we’ve helped local homeowners protect their properties for over 30 years. We know firsthand how damaging a single summer storm can be. That’s why you need to take care of seasonal maintenance. A proactive approach to roof care can help you avoid emergency repairs, reduce long-term costs, and keep your home safe and dry.

Understand the Seasonal Roofing Threats

In spring and summer, Minersville homes face a variety of weather conditions that can compromise your roof’s integrity. Sudden thunderstorms, strong winds, and hail can all damage shingles, flashing, and gutters. Even when storms aren’t severe, excessive rain and humidity can lead to hidden leaks, mold growth, and rot—especially if your roof is older.

Storm damage isn’t always obvious right away, but small issues like loose shingles or minor flashing gaps can quickly escalate during the next heavy rainfall. That’s why early detection and prevention are key.

Schedule a Spring Roof Inspection

Spring is the ideal time to inspect your roof for winter damage and prepare it for summer storms. Snow and ice can weaken roofing materials, and seasonal debris can block drainage paths. A professional inspection from the expert Brahler Contracting team will catch early warning signs and help you prioritize needed repairs.

We check for:

• Lifted or cracked shingles from wind and ice

• Flashing that may have loosened over the winter

• Debris buildup that could clog gutters or valleys

• Signs of leaks or water stains in the attic or ceiling

If you live in an older home in Minersville, PA or nearby towns like Orwigsburg or Auburn, a spring inspection can be especially important.

Clean Out Those Gutters

With spring comes a wave of falling blossoms, pollen, and leaf debris—much of which ends up in your gutters. Clogged gutters are a major cause of storm-related roof damage. When water can’t flow off your roof, it backs up under shingles, causing rot, leaks, and even foundation problems.

We recommend cleaning your gutters at least twice a year—once in spring and again in late summer. For added protection, you might also consider installing gutter guards to keep clogs at bay and water moving freely.

Don’t Ignore Minor Damage

During summer storms, wind and hail can do serious harm to your roof in seconds. If your neighborhood is hit by a storm, it’s smart to do a visual inspection from the ground and look for signs of damage—missing shingles, fallen debris, or water spots inside your home.

If anything seems off, contact us right away. We offer fast, reliable roof repair services in Schuylkill County, and we’ll give you an honest assessment of your roof’s condition. Catching problems early can save you from emergency repairs later.

Upgrade to Storm-Resistant Roofing Materials

If your roof is over 15–20 years old, spring and summer are great times to consider a replacement. We install storm-rated roofing materials that stand up to high winds and hail while improving energy efficiency during hot summer days.

Newer materials also improve curb appeal and can help reduce your homeowner’s insurance premiums. And with Brahler Contracting, you can count on expert craftsmanship, durable materials, and a roof that’s built to last through every season.
