A damaged or poorly sealed roof lets in drafts and heat, forcing your HVAC to work harder and increasing energy bills.
How do I maintain my roof properly?
Step 1: Inspect your roof twice a year—especially after storms—for visible damage like lifted shingles or debris.
Step 2: Clear out gutters and downspouts to prevent water from backing up onto the roof.
Step 3: Check for moss or algae growth, which can weaken shingles over time.
Step 4: Hire a professional annually to perform a full inspection and handle any necessary repairs.
Should I still maintain a newer roof?
Yes! Even new roofs need care to stay in good shape. Maintenance protects your warranty and ensures longevity.
