Do you keep your gutters clear? 

Can you remember the last time your roof was professionally inspected? 

Knowing how to take care of your roof between professional inspections can help prolong the life of your shingles, prevent avoidable repairs, and save you money on costly replacements. 

Here are a few things you can do to maintain the health of your roof: 

Keep Your Gutters Cleared
Removing leaves and other debris from your gutters is essential to allow rainwater to flow away from your home. Clogged gutters can lead to water leaking into the foundation of your home.

Trim Overhanging Branches 
If large trees are near your home, it’s important to trim overhanging branches regularly. Large branches can damage your shingles during a strong storm. Keeping branches trimmed also makes it harder for pests like squirrels to get onto your roof and into your attic. 

Regularly Inspect 
Even if your roof is new, it’s important to take note of any changes on a consistent basis. Knowing what your roof should look like will make it easier to spot damage and prevent repairs. 

Routine Professional Inspections 
There are some things the untrained eye can miss. Scheduling routine maintenance ensures leaks are caught early, shingles aren’t missing, and your ventilation is good. Professional maintenance should be performed once or twice a year depending on the age of your roof.
