Easy Tips to Extend Your Roof’s Service Life

To maximize your roof’s potential, proper maintenance and cleaning are required. In today’s post, your local roofing contractor, Earl W. Johnston Roofing, LLC, offers a quick rundown of what you can do to keep your roof operating at peak performance for as long as possible.

Inspect Your Roof

Inspect your roof regularly and sweep away debris or clutter. While individual pieces of debris may not cause harm, the cumulative effect of debris that builds up on your roof can put unnecessary stress on the system, paving the way for leaks and other problems. This is especially true if you have tree branches that land on your roof, which may scratch and damage your shingles.

Inspect your roof for damage after every storm. If your roof is cluttered with debris or has unsightly algae growing on it, contact a professional for roof cleaning, which will help your roof look and function better.

Clean Your Gutters

Debris that accumulates in your gutters can create a clog, leading to serious water damage. Gutter cleaning should be done routinely. This work can be tedious and time-consuming for homeowners, so feel free to call us at Earl W. Johnston Roofing, LLC to take care of it. You can also choose to install gutter guards to help prevent gutter clogs.

Ask for a Professional Check-Up

As professional roofers, we believe in the old adage that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Rather than waiting until your roof has sustained obvious damage requiring roof repair, contact us to perform a thorough roof inspection and provide a documented report of your roof’s condition. We’ll provide effective solutions to any issues we detect.
