When it comes to owning a home, preventative maintenance can save you time and money in the future. One of the items that you may want to consider is to inspect your roof annually. To inspect your roof, you may need to use a ladder...but don't climb on the roof yourself, since doing so may cause damage in and of itself.
Inspecting your roof doesn't have to be difficult. Here's what to look for: 1. Walk around your home (or climb your ladder) and look for signs of aging. Visibly sagging, buckled or curled shingles should be noted. 2. Do you see any areas with algae or leaf accumulation? These could cause allow water to penetrate and should be removed. 3. Any missing shingles? Missing shingles should be replaced. 4. Do your asphalt shingles still have granules? Once a shingle loses its granules, it is no longer protecting your home against water and should be replaced. 5. Are your gutters clean of debris? If not, then they should be cleaned. 6. Go into the attic. Do you see any signs of water damage? If so, a roof repair or replacement may be in order. If a visual inspection gives you any hint that your roof might need a repair or a replacement, you may want to reach out to the pros.
