How to Show Some Love to Your Roof

How to Show Some Love to Your Roof

At this time of year, many homeowners get motivated for spring cleaning. Cleaning out the garage or getting your yard in order may have be on your list, but have you included your roof on your maintenance list? Your roof protects your home and family year-round, so it is important to show it some love this spring. The Dedicated Roofing team has compiled a list of tips for prioritizing your roof’s maintenance:

• Keep Your Roof and Gutters Clean—Cleaning out gutters can be a time-consuming task, but the benefits are well worth it. Gutters play a vital role in keeping your roof clean and water away from your foundation. If you want to minimize gutter cleaning, gutter guards can save your time and effort. Also, you could consider a professional gutter cleaning if you lack the time, desire, or ability to clean your gutters. If you notice mold, moss, or mildew building up on your shingles, it is best to leave that to professionals. We have the equipment and materials to clean your roof without damaging your shingles. Another way to keep your roof clean is making sure to keep your trees trimmed back from your home. This will prevent sticks, leaves, and debris from accumulating on your roof. Also, it will help discourage some animals and pests from getting onto your roof.
• Schedule a Roof Inspection—Being proactive with your roof maintenance could prevent or minimize roof issues in the future. We recommend having your roof inspected periodically to ensure that your roof will be prepared for the challenges of each season. The ideal times for inspections are the fall or spring because you can see how much damage summer heat and storms have caused and the impact of the icy cold winters on your roof. Call Dedicated Roofing when you are ready to schedule your inspection!

Spring is officially here so it is the perfect time to get on your spring-cleaning list. Do not forget to add your roof to your list. Contact Dedicated Roofing if you need an inspection, cleaning, or any roofing support.
