As the spring season begins, certain parts of your home will require cleaning and maintenance in order to last and function properly for the rest of the year. Your roof specifically should receive adequate attention in preparation for the warmer months.
There are several ways to keep your roof in top shape.
Clean Your Roof and Gutters
Most plants and flowers go back to life during springtime, so you’ll likely find leaves, twigs and other organic debris falling on your roof during this season. To prevent buildup, clean the surface of your roof, and check your gutters. Remove any blockages in your downspouts and gutters, and flush them out to avoid possible issues involving clogging and leaks.
Check Your Warranty
Always remember that being proactive is key to avoiding roofing issues. Make sure that your roof has good warranty coverage, and remember its duration as well as the repairs or damage it covers. Being equipped with this information can be useful when something goes wrong with your roof. Don’t forget to review your homeowners insurance as well as this may provide protection against certain kinds of damage.
Schedule a Roof Inspection in Spring
It is highly recommended to get a roof inspection at least twice a year — one in spring to check if winter has caused problems with your roofing materials and another in fall to see whether the hot and humid weather during summer caused any damage to your roof, especially your attic and shingles.
