Regular maintenance – The best way to keep your roof in good shape is to maintain it on a regular basis. Have your roof inspected at least twice a year: before winter and before spring. Keep the roof clear of debris and make sure that the gutters are cleaned out. Keep an eye out for water leaks or any visible damage to the roof throughout the year.
- Preventative measures – There are some things you can do that will help protect the roof even more. Install proper insulation into your attic to keep the interior temperature more stable. Make sure there’s proper ventilation in your attic as well. Last but not least, make sure you trim or cut down any branches that are hanging too close to the roof.
