Roof Maintenance Goals
Setting new year goals is important for your personal life, but what about home improvement? In order to extend the lifetime of your roof, it’s important to practice regular maintenance and preventative care. Make sure these roof maintenance goals are on your list this year!
1. Clean Your Roof
Our top roofing contractors recommend homeowners to clean their roofs at least once a year or as needed. Without proper care, extra moisture can cause mold to grow on your roof shingles or tree limbs can cause leaks. If you don’t have the tools necessary to clean your roof, be sure to contact a professional so that you can avoid costly repairs.
2. Empty Your Gutters
The gutter system attached to your home is an essential part of protecting your roof. This year, be sure to clean your gutters at least 3-4 times a year, especially after a major thunderstorm. If your gutters are kept clear of leaves and debris, runoff water will be able to drain properly which will keep your roof dry.
Pro Tip: Did you know that excess water in your gutter system could be a breeding ground for mosquitos and other pests? Protect your home by having your gutters cleaned regularly.
3. Schedule a Roof Inspection
When is the last time you inspected your roof? In addition to a professional roof inspection, homeowners should individually inspect the quality of their roof at least twice a year. Instead of waiting until issues cause extensive damages, keep the condition of your roof system under control with regular inspections. Contact one of our associates to schedule your free inspection!
Lifelong Roof Protection
No matter what may have transpired in 2019, the start of a new year welcomes a fresh start and room to achieve your goals. Due to the weather conditions in Houston, many homeowners choose to take care of their roof during the spring and fall months. Whatever time you choose, it’s important to make roof maintenance a priority for your home. By ensuring protection, you will be able to extend the life of your roof for years to come.
