The roof prevents the house interior from the elements and gives a sense of safety to occupants. All Roofing Contactors know that it is an important part of a home’s exterior. So it is vital to keep it maintained and in good condition. Regardless of how new or old your roof is, to keep your roof in the best possible condition for years to come, regular maintenance along with the use of premium quality products by GAF, CertainTeed, etc is the key to a perfect roof.

Below are a few points recommended by all top-rated construction companies to keep your roof in a good condition.

• Regular inspection – Inspect your roof regularly for any damage. Before the start of new weather or after a rainy season, inspecting the roof helps in keeping it in good condition.
• Hanging Branches – Trees hanging over the top of the house is a potential danger to your roof. These branches constantly hit the roof causing serious damage to the
  shingles. Also, birds find shelter in those branches which accumulate dirt and debris.
• Roof Cleaning – Removing leaves, sticks, and other debris from the roof prevents algae growth.
• Joints Repair – Sides of chimneys, skylights, and vents are the areas where leakage and seepages can occur very easily. So, inspecting and repairing joints can make roof life longer.
• Maintained Gutters – Gutters are a major part of the roof. Keeping the gutter in good condition allows rainwater to drain from the roof, especially during rainy seasons. It prevents moisture to seep through the roof into the house.
• Quick Repair – Do repair work as soon as possible. Delay in repair and maintenance leads to a bigger problem which put an extra burden on the budget.
• Appropriate Ventilation – Proper insulation and attic ventilation improve the roof life. It maintains the attic temperature during the summer and winter seasons.

After some time, every roof needs constant repair and maintenance. By following the above-mentioned points, you can extend the roof’s life span and provide durable shelter to your family.
