Tips on Maintaining Your Roof This Spring

With the weather starting to get warmer, one thing comes to mind – spring cleaning. You may be thinking of projects you can do when the season officially arrives. The truth is, however, hardly anyone thinks of checking in on their roof. During winter, your roof shielded you from the snow and was constantly cold and wet. If there is anything to be cleaned and maintained first during spring, it’s your roof. 

Contacting Professionals

There is no better way to maintain your roof than contacting your roofers to do an inspection for you. Since they are the experts in the field, you are given the best advice for your roof and its lifespan. They may also suggest a roof replacement if the damage is too much or if your roof has started sagging.

Trimming Overgrown Trees

Trees that stand taller than your own home will drop leaves and twigs on your roof. The first step in avoiding this debris buildup on your roof is to trim the trees. You can also check if the tree is leaning on your roof. The tree leaning on your roof might add on to the weight that your roof is already experiencing from other factors.

Clearing Out Your Gutters

With spring comes seeds, pods, buds and petals that can be carried by the wind. These can end up getting stuck on your roof and gutters. When not cleared, water from melted snow and rain showers can create damning and forcing water back up onto your roof instead of going down the gutters.
