Your roof works hard to protect your home. Regular maintenance is the key to extending its life and preventing costly repairs. Here’s how to keep your roof in top shape year-round.
Why Maintaining Your Roof is Essential
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
Springtime Roof Care
- Check for any winter damage, like missing shingles or cracks that may have developed during colder months.
- Clear out gutters to ensure they can effectively direct water away from your roof.
Roof Care During the Summer
- Look for signs of damage due to sun exposure, such as fading or cracking shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches to prevent debris buildup.
Roof Maintenance for Fall
- Remove fallen leaves and debris from the roof and gutters.
- Make sure that any loose flashing is fixed before winter arrives to prevent water infiltration.
Roof Care During the Winter
