Unfortunately, roofs aren’t made to last forever. To make issues worse, many people miss routine maintenance and repairs, only realizing they have a roof issue when they have a significant expense on their hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although you can’t make your roof covering last a lifetime, you can extend its life with proper repair and maintenance. We have 3 tips for you to help extend your roof’s life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip #1. Make Sure To Be Safe\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Regardless of the material, condition, or even the elevation of the roofing system, it is dangerous and fatal to be on ladders and roofing systems without taking crucial safety and security precautions and measures. Security is the top priority for any type of roofing maintenance or care.<\/span><\/p>\n

Never get on your roof without correct safety gear, in stormy weather conditions, or if you feel risky, troubled, or unsteady.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip #2. Clean Your Gutters<\/span><\/h3>\n

With time, rain, snow, and debris build up in your gutters. The included weight places stress on your roof, which can deteriorate the house’s architectural integrity and create early breakage.<\/span><\/p>\n

In extreme cases, overflowing gutters might even damage the roof to the point of collapse. Older seamless gutters can also be a haven for mold to expand unnoticed, which can then infect the rest of your roofing system.<\/span><\/p>\n
