Your roof plays a crucial role in safeguarding your home. By performing regular maintenance, you can prolong its life and prevent expensive repairs. Here’s your guide to keeping your roof in excellent condition all year long.
Why Regular Maintenance Matters
Regular roof maintenance not only extends the life of your roof but also helps save on energy costs by improving efficiency and preventing expensive issues down the road.
Roof Maintenance by Season
Roof Care in the Spring
- Look for any winter-related roof damage, including cracked shingles or any missing roofing material.
- Clear out gutters to ensure they can effectively direct water away from your roof.
Roof Care During the Summer
- Inspect your roof for UV-related wear, including faded shingles or cracks caused by intense sun.
- Trim any overhanging tree branches to prevent leaves or branches from causing damage.
Fall
- Clear fallen leaves and debris from both your roof and gutters to prevent blockages.
- Make sure that any loose flashing is fixed before winter arrives to prevent water infiltration.
Winter Roof Care
- Monitor for ice dams and carefully remove them to prevent leaks.
- Ensure your attic is properly insulated to prevent condensation and ice dams.
