Importance of Rooftop Maintenance

Benefits of Regular Maintenance

Seasonal Roof Maintenance Tips

1. Gutter Cleaning

  • Frequency: Clean gutters twice a year, especially if there are many trees around.

  • Purpose: Prevents water overflow that can damage the fascia and foundation.


2. Tree Trimming

  • Importance: Keeps branches from breaking off and damaging the roof during storms.

  • Benefit: Reduces leaf accumulation in gutters, preventing moisture buildup and decay.


3. Debris Removal

  • Action: Regularly remove leaves, limbs, and algae to prevent wood rot.

  • Tools: Use a leaf rake or broom, or hire a professional for annual cleaning.
