5 THINGS EVERY HOMEOWNER CAN DO TO HELP THEIR ROOF LAST LONGER

5 THINGS EVERY HOMEOWNER CAN DO TO HELP THEIR ROOF LAST LONGER:

1. Regular Inspections: Make it a habit to inspect your roof at least twice a year. Look for loose or damaged shingles, signs of wear and tear, and any debris that may have accumulated. Early detection of issues allows for timely repairs, preventing them from becoming more severe.

2. Clean Gutters and Downspouts: Clogged gutters can lead to water backing up on the roof, potentially causing damage. Regularly clean out gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage.

3. Trim Overhanging Branches: Trees with branches overhanging your roof pose a risk of damage, especially during storms. Trim back any branches to prevent them from scraping against the roof or falling during adverse weather conditions.

4. Check for Leaks Inside: Keep an eye out for signs of water damage inside your home. Look for water stains on ceilings and walls, as well as any unusual musty odors.

5. Remove Debris: Clear any debris, such as leaves, twigs, and branches, from the roof surface. Accumulated debris can trap moisture, accelerating the deterioration of roofing materials. Regular cleaning ensures your roof stays in good shape and can prolong its lifespan.
