Keep the attic cool and ventilated to stop or slow the refreezing cycle.
Keep your gutters clear. This keeps ice from accumulating and backing up under the shingles.
Worn-out, missing or damaged siding and roof flashing can let water and ice into your home. Be attentive and replace them with time.
Invest in a roof rake, a tool that allows you to stand on the ground and safely brush ice buildup off the roof. This will help combat issues and protect your home from serious damage.
But an extremely important tip is to avoid using salt or chemical snow melt, this can erode your shingles and gutters and potentially void manufacturer’s warranty.
Trim trees year-round so branches don't fall on your house.
