How can I maintain my roof?
To maintain your roof and extend its lifespan, here are some key steps you can take:
Regular Inspections: Check your roof at the start of spring and fall for any visible damage like missing shingles, debris buildup, or signs of leaks.
Clean Gutters: Keep your gutters clean and free of debris to ensure water flows properly off your roof. Clogged gutters can cause water to back up, leading to damage.
Remove Debris: Clear leaves, branches, and other debris from your roof. Accumulated debris can trap moisture and cause mold or moss growth.
Maintaining Branches: Trimming tree branches that hang over your roof to prevent damage from falling limbs and to keep leaves from collecting on your roof and clogging your gutters.
Address Moss & Algae: If you notice moss or algae growth, clean it off using a gentle cleaning solution. This growth can cause shingles to deteriorate over time.
