Great Ways to Prolong Your Roof’s Service Life

Your roof is a significant investment, which is why it’s crucial that you make the most of it. To make it last for many years to come, consider these handy tips from Earl W. Johnston Roofing, LLC, your reliable roofing contractor: 

Fix Issues Promptly

The most important thing you can do for your roof is to invest in routine inspections. Your roof may appear fine from the ground, but could still be harboring issues that only a professional would be able to detect. By identifying and repairing these issues promptly, you prevent them from developing into more serious and costly problems.

You can also perform your own inspection from the ground. Using a pair of binoculars, look for cracked, curling, or missing shingles as well as loose flashing around your vents and pipes. You can also check for stains and mold growth in your attic. Be sure to watch out for signs of damage after a storm and seek professional help as soon as you can.

Keep Your Roof Clean

It’s imperative to keep your roof free of moss, mold, and dirt, which can shorten the life expectancy of the system. When you notice these issues, turn to reputable contractors like Earl W. Johnston Roofing, LLC to perform a thorough roof cleaning. We use Roof-A-Cide, a safe and economical alternative to harmful cleaning chemicals, to avoid damaging your roof and surrounding property. This cost-effective solution can go a long way in making your roof look better and last longer.

Clean Your Gutters

Clogged gutters can cause water to overflow, which will not only weaken your home’s foundation but also rot your roof sheathing and rafters. Addressing this kind of damage can cost thousands of dollars, but you can avoid it by cleaning your gutters during spring and fall.
In need of roof repair or maintenance? At Earl W. Johnston Roofing, LLC, we’ve got you covered. We are the trusted name for first-rate roofing services. Give us a call at (954) 989-7794 to get started. We serve Pembroke Pines, Coral Springs, and Hollywood, FL.
