Here's a short to-do list to make sure your roof remains in good repair for years to come.
Branch trimming. If you have trees close to your home, a simple trim can prevent damage by removing weak branches that could fall on your roof.
Clear debris. Clearing your roof of leaf piles and debris can help prevent mold and mildew growth, helping preserve your roof's integrity.
Clean gutters. Gutters play a huge role in diverting water and debris away from your roof. Removing blockage can help minimize leak problems that may cause structural damage to your home.
Attic inspection. Check the attic for any signs of water leaks or moisture, as this could indicate roof issues. Also, ensure proper ventilation to prevent excessive heat and moisture buildup, which can deteriorate the roof over time.
Professional inspection. Schedule professional roof inspections and maintenance at least once a year, especially after severe weather events.
