How Can You Make Your Roof Have a Longer Lifespan?

Roof Inspection

Annual roof inspections are important. Catching and repairing problems early can keep your roof in good shape. The end of summer is one of the best times to inspect your roof. Hail storms and heavy rain storms can cause significant damage, it is a good idea to inspect your roof shortly after they have passed. Look for any dips, curled up edges or cracks.

Clean the Gutters and Roof

Clogged gutters cause water to accumulate and cause major damage. If leaves are allowed to build up, water can get into the rafters and cause them to rot.

Tree Care

Trees hanging over the roof can prevent it from drying out, which can lead to problems and reduce the lifespan of the roof. Our humid climate can also cause algae and moss to corrode the roof. During the sunny and dry season, trees can shade the roof, preventing damage.

Debris Removal

Increasing the lifespan of  your roof can be as easy as cleaning any debris than can end up on your roof, which can cause the roof to rot.

Stay Proactive

If you notice any damage ensure it is repaired in a timely manner. Proper roof maintenance can increase the longevity of your roof, it can also save money on remodeling and even utility cost.
