The new year brings a host of possibilities. The problem is, troublesome roofing issues are among those possibilities. Make sure to steer clear of costly roofing issues by taking a proactive stance to maintain your roof right from the start. With these tips, you can help your roof survive a year’s worth of punishing weather.
Prime Your Roofing
A roof that’s re-shingled and structurally sound is the key to keeping your indoors comfortable throughout the year. Make sure there are no leaks and it’s ready to stand up to inclement weather conditions. Aside from the roof’s condition, you’ll also need to take attic insulation into consideration, as it can affect your roof and internal temperature.
Clear Your Gutters
Water intrusion is the number one cause of roofing issues. By investing in a reliable gutter system and keeping it free-flowing, you can avoid leaking and water damage issues and subsequent roof repair services. Take it a step further by installing a quality gutter protection system so you won’t need to worry about maintenance routines.
Get Rid of Overhanging Branches
Having a tree or two on your lawn can create a perfect homey vibe that adds curb appeal. However, be sure to keep tabs on how quickly your branches are growing, and in what direction. Keep them in check by trimming overhanging branches. This will helpprevent leaves and moss from gathering on your roof. Additionally, it will also prevent rodents from gaining access to your home by using overhanging branches as access points.
