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 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
Spring
- Look for any winter-related roof damage, including cracked shingles or any missing roofing material.
- Ensure gutters are clean and free from debris to maintain proper drainage.
Summer
- Check for signs of wear and tear from UV exposure.
- Cut back tree branches that could damage your roof or block water flow.
Fall Roof Maintenance
- 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
- Watch for ice dams and remove them safely to prevent leaks.
- Ensure your attic is properly insulated to prevent condensation and ice dams.
