Tips for Maintaining a Healthy Roof

Feb 25, 2020 | Blog, Roof Maintenance

We all know how expensive a roof is to install or repair. Chances are that you have much better ways to spend that money. Even keeping it in savings sounds better than spending it on a roof repair, doesn’t it? Thankfully, there are some steps you can take to prolong the lifespan of your roof or reduce the risk of a very costly roofing repair.

If you’re not sure what to do to keep your roof in great shape, keep reading for four tips on how to keep your roof well maintained!

Keep an eye on your shingles  

One of the most important things to do in order to keep your roof well maintained is to ensure that your shingles are intact. If you notice shingles missing from your roof or shingles that are lifting up, you should contact Guardian Roofs right away for prompt, affordable repair.

Trim branches back from your roof

Branches that overhang your roof are dangerous. A heavy wind or even an issue with the tree itself can cause the branch to fall and smash into the roof. That can lead to a costly repair, which can be easily avoided by simply trimming branches back from your roof. If you don’t feel comfortable doing that yourself, your local landscaping company should be able to do the job for you.

Clean the gutters regularly   

If you don’t clean your gutters regularly, debris can build up in it and that can lead to water backing up or sitting idly in the gutter. If that water is spilling over and soaking the fascia board or a structural component of your roof, it can weaken your roof over time and lead to costly repairs.

Check for rust

Where there are signs of rust, there is water. When it comes to your roof, you should want any water sitting idly and weakening its structure. If you see signs of rust, you should have your roof and gutters inspected to ensure that everything is working properly.
