How To Extend the Life of Your Roof
Whether you have a brand new roof or an aging one, here are some things you can do the help make it last for as long as possible,
Trim branches, especially overhanging ones. This can go a long way towards keeping your roof damage-free. When storms and strong winds hit, a trimmed tree can prevent the branches from becoming debris on your roof. What's more, abrasion from the leaves that touch your roof can also damage your shingles in the long run.
Clean your gutters regularly. An unkept gutter can not only cause it to clog and cause leaks but it can also seep moisture and rot into roof seating and rafter. So make sure you check and clean your gutters every fall and spring.
Lastly, alway be on a lookout for these symptoms as they could mean a more serious problem if not resolved:
- Water stains on your ceiling
- Sagging ceilings
- Loose or missing shingles
- Gray patches on asphalt shingles
- Water leakage that is coming from the attic or ceiling
- Damaged metal flashing
- Wet spots on wood
- Granules or small pieces of shingles in rain gutters
- Dripping sounds
