Points to keep in mind during roof inspection:
- Organic debris can build up over time fostering an environment for roof rot.
- Look for gaps or holes in the soffit?
- Do you see any surface cracks in shingles? These are warning signs of impending separation or disintegration.
- Inspect your flashing. Is it in good shape? If not, repair it before summer’s heat and winter’s moisture take their toll on your roof.
- What about your insulation? Is it in good shape? If so, it will protect your roof from warping and reduce overall moisture in your home. Attic insulation prevents snow from melting and refreezing, which can contribute to water damage.
- Are there any overhanging branches that could fall on your roof? Rotten trees and overhanging limbs can cause an undue load on your house causing countless problems.
These simple tips, when implemented, can help to protect your home for many years. If you need a new roof, contact me, and I can put you in touch with reputable roofers in our area.
