Now that summer has arrived in full, we have arrived in the middle of the home improvement season. All over the country, homeowners are getting outside and completing many of those projects they have been putting off around their homes, and while summer is definitely the time for new constructions and ambitious projects, you want to be sure that you aren\’t overlooking some of the other aspects of your home that could stand to have a bit of care during the season as well, chief among these being your roof. While the summer months might not seem too difficult on your roof, there is still a bit of care your roof needs to make sure it\’s in good shape when the fall and winter months come back around, and now is the best time to get it done. To ensure you have what you need to keep your roof in the best shape possible this summer, our team of skilled professionals have taken the time to put together this short list detailing several helpful tips you can follow to keep your roof in great shape this summer and into the fall and winter.
Get an Inspection
When it comes to your roof, preventative maintenance is always going to be a better option than emergency maintenance, and there is no form of preventative care more important to your roof than regular roofing inspections. Getting a professional inspection for your roof this summer will ensure that any small issues that might have been lingering from the previous spring or winter are caught and can be addressed before they have a chance to cause any further problems for your home. Roofing inspections are also a great way to stay updated on the age and condition of your roof overall, as well as the materials used in its construction.
Repair Damages
If your inspection does turn up any signs of damage to your roof, it is extremely important to ensure you get them repaired as soon as you can. While the weather is generally a bit more calm during the summer than it is during the spring, summer storms aren\’t a rarity, and leaving any kind of damage to your roof unresolved can result in that damage quickly spreading to other areas of your home. If you have any lingering damages to your home\’s roof, one of the best things you can do this summer is to have a professional come out and give them the thorough repairs they need.
Replace Older Materials
Like just about everything else, the individual materials that make up your roof\’s structure age over time, and eventually, will need to be replaced. This summer, while the weather is nice, you want to be sure that you take a look at your roof, or have a professional do so, and look out for any signs that the older materials on your roof need to be replaced. For instance, standard asphalt shingles generally have a lifespan of about 15 years, and if you notice that yours are brittle, curling, or seem to be losing granules, this summer might be the right time to go ahead and have them replaced before they can cause you any serious problems in the coming months.
