Have you noticed debris piling up in your gutters? 

Are there discoloration or dark patches spreading on your roof?

Knowing how to take care of your roof between seasons can help prolong the life of your shingles and prevent avoidable repairs and replacements.

How to Care for Your Roof Year Round 

Keep Gutters Clear: Removing leaves and other debris from your gutters is essential to allow rainwater to flow away from your home. Cleaning your gutters in the fall and spring is essential to avoid build-up. 

Trim Overhanging Branches: If large trees are near your home, it’s integral to trim overhanging branches regularly. Large branches can damage your shingles if blown during a strong storm. Trimming branches back will also make it harder for pests like squirrels to get onto your roof and into your home. 

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 catch leaks, missing shingles, or moss growing.

Routine Professional Inspections:  There are some things that the untrained eye can miss. Scheduling yearly maintenance on your roof ensures leaks are caught early, shingles aren’t missing, and your ventilation is good. Professional maintenance once or twice a year, depending on the age of your roof, is the best way to keep your roof healthy.
