Be on Top of Repairs With These Seasonal Roof Maintenance Tips

Your house and property are meant to be enjoyed, and as every homeowner knows there’s always some outside work to be done to make that enjoyment possible. Your roof is one place that you should be checking on seasonally to head off expensive repairs.

If you’re getting uncomfortable thinking about having to actually go up on your roof, don’t worry, as just inspecting for any issues can be done sufficiently from the ground or call us for an inspection.

Seasonal Roof Maintenance Tips

We recommend you do a quick roof inspection every three months to be aware of any problems, but you won’t need to spend a lot of time with this preventative maintenance task every time. Once a year, either in the late fall or early spring, you should consider spending a few hours with the tasks to clean up and fix up the top part of your house. This includes inspection of the shingles, flashing, chimney, vent pipes, gutters and eaves.

You may find some shingles that need to be replaced, a damaged chimney cap to be reinstalled or moss growing. By catching the little things soon after they’ve just happened, you’ll save yourself the added expense of avoidable repairs when these minor problems are left to cause deterioration and decay of major sections of your roof.
