When temperatures plummet in the Midwest, roofing often becomes more challenging—shingles don’t adhere as well, ice and snow can pose safety risks, and extreme cold can damage roofing materials during installation. But at Total Exteriors, our commitment to customers and continual improvement doesn’t hibernate just because the snow falls. Here’s how our roofing professionals stay productive, keep customers’ properties safe, and refine our operations all winter long.
1. Snow Plowing & Property Maintenance
The Midwest winters are notorious for heavy snowfall, and one of our primary off-season services is professional snow plowing. Clearing driveways, walkways, and commercial parking lots is critical for safety. By investing in high-quality snow-removal equipment, our team helps homeowners and businesses maintain accessibility even when snowstorms hit hard.
Key Benefits of Snow Plowing Services
- Prevents slips and falls
- Ensures access for emergency vehicles
- Prolongs the lifespan of paved surfaces by preventing freeze-thaw damage
2. Ongoing Roof Inspections & Emergency Repairs
Winter weather can be harsh on roofing systems. From ice dams to sudden leaks, some roofing issues simply can’t wait until spring. That’s why Total Exteriors offers emergency roof repairs throughout the colder months. Our team of experts remains on-call to address urgent problems like leaks and structural damage.
We also conduct roof inspections whenever conditions allow. This includes checking for weak spots, assessing the integrity of flashing, and identifying areas prone to ice dam formation. Not only does this proactive approach prevent bigger issues down the road, but it also keeps property owners informed about the overall health of their roofs.
3. Updating Programs, Processes, & Tools
Winter is an opportune time to refine our internal operations and stay ahead of industry advancements. We review and upgrade our project management software, scheduling tools, and customer communication platforms. By streamlining our processes now, we’re fully prepared when roofing season hits its busy stride in spring.
What This Means for Our Customers
- Faster, more accurate project scheduling
- Improved communication and transparency
- Better overall project outcomes
4. Strengthening Relationships with Realtors & Insurance Agents
Networking is essential for a successful roofing business. During the off-season, Total Exteriors focuses on strengthening partnerships with realtors and insurance agents. By staying in close contact with these professionals, we can offer homeowners a smooth experience when it comes to inspections, claims, and repairs. Building robust relationships in the winter ensures faster turnarounds for clients when roofing issues arise year-round.
5. Organizing Inventory & Stock
One of the best ways to hit the ground running in spring is to have a well-organized warehouse. Our team takes the time to assess, organize, and restock all the necessary roofing materials, tools, and safety equipment. Proper inventory management helps us respond promptly to clients’ needs and keeps projects moving forward without delay.
6. Investing in Professional Development
To remain leaders in the roofing industry, ongoing self-development is crucial. Our team attends conferences and workshops during the winter to learn about new roofing materials, installation techniques, and changing industry standards. Whether it’s improving our technical skills or refining our customer service approach, we continually look for ways to expand our expertise.
Core Areas of Professional Growth
- Technical training on advanced roofing systems
- Safety certifications and refresher courses
- Business development and leadership training
- Customer service and communication best practices
7. Building Brand Knowledge & Company Growth
Winter is the perfect time to cultivate brand awareness. We host internal strategy sessions to align our marketing efforts and discuss future growth plans. By focusing on brand-building activities—such as updating our website, writing blog posts, and engaging on social media—we ensure that Total Exteriors remains a recognized name in the Midwest for superior home exteriors and roofing solutions.
Moreover, we collaborate on ways to further growth as a company. From exploring new service offerings to expanding into neighboring regions, these strategic conversations help us consistently provide unparalleled service for our customers.
Looking Ahead to Spring and Beyond
Just because roofing installations slow down in the winter doesn’t mean the work stops for Total Exteriors. By plowing snow, performing emergency repairs, networking, organizing, and continuously improving our skill sets and operations, we guarantee a seamless transition into the busy spring roofing season. Our winter efforts ensure we’re fully prepared to offer homeowners and businesses the best in Midwest roofing solutions and exterior services once temperatures warm up.
