Care and Maintenance of Roofs, Gutters and Siding

 

Roofs

Asphalt roofing will last about 15 years, so it’s important that it is properly maintained to get the most out of your roof.

Once per year, check the roof and take care of any issues that might cause major damage down the road. If you can, hire a professional to inspect the roof. You can get on a ladder to do it yourself, but make sure that safety is the number one priority. In some cases, you can check for any issues from ground level by using binoculars.

Things to look for:


Buckling, curling, broken, or missing shingles: Single shingles can easily be replaced.
Cracked rubber boots around the vent piping
Any moss or lichen indicating roof decay
Cracked caulking and rust around the…
