Your roof is an integral part of your home, and it needs regular maintenance to prevent it from deteriorating. A poorly maintained roof could fail prematurely, leading to leaks and other issues. Since replacing a roof can be very expensive, you can almost view your maintenance as an investment into your home. But what can you do as a non-professional? There is quite a bit that you won’t need experience or special tools to do that will help protect your roof. One of the most important things you can do is to protect the roof from water damage. Water can do a lot to cause your roof to fail through rot, rust, and other issues. This means that you should make sure that gutters and downspouts work properly and that there is no debris such as piles of leaves where water could accumulate.
Trees that overhang your roof should be cut back as well to ensure that your home isn’t damaged by falling branches.
