Don’t Go Through Fall Without Following These Roof Maintenance Tips

Now that the weather is cooling down, Fall is a great time to get in those home improvement projects you’ve been putting off.  Before it gets too late though, it’s important to make sure your roof is in good standing. Don’t let Fall pass you by without following these important
roof maintenance tips: 

Clean out the gutters
The gutter’s job is to reroute water from your roof and away from your home but during the fall, they can fill up with dead leaves, twigs and other debris. Make sure your gutters are free from any blockages so that water can flow freely and away from your house.

Inspect your roof flashings
Roof flashing is a key component to your roof as it helps prevent water leaking into your attic space. Eventually, your roof flashing can show signs of age. Small holes that develop can be patched with special roofing cement but any serious damage could need a new section of flashing.

Replace any damaged shingles
If your home has weathered any bad storms recently, it’s important to check your shingles. Shingles can warp, curl, and become bald. If they come loose, they can cause major damage to your home’s framework. You should definitely replace any missing or broken shingles before Winter comes.

Hire a professional roof inspector
Even though you can probably do a thorough job at checking your roofing, you still could miss signs of damage. That’s why it’s always a smart choice to call a professional roofing contractor like the Roof Wizards for a more detailed inspection.
