Fall is the time of the year that transitions summer into winter. It is when green tree leaves change into a burnt orange shade and the outdoor temperature starts to get a little bit cooler. It is also a prime season for homeowners to schedule a roof maintenance visit from a local roofer in order to avoid dealing with pesky issues during winter months. Here are some helpful tips to consider:
Get an Inspection
A lot of residential owners mistakenly believe that a roof inspection is not necessary until a roofing problem, such ceiling leaks in the attic, starts to take shape. Many roofs are pretty high up there, and this is often the reason why people cannot see all the nooks and crannies, let alone inspect these areas for potential damage. Fortunately, an experienced roofer has the necessary knowledge and skills to safely identify small issues and help you address them before they become a serious problem.
Make Roof Repairs
It is important to call a residential roofing contractor to properly address any missing, broken or damaged shingles on your roof. If you wait too long, the winter season will arrive and you will have to wait until spring before doing any further work. A frail roof can cave in due to the buildup of snow and ice. This can easily be prevented by fixing your system a lot sooner.
Clean Gutters
In fall, leaves change to beautiful oranges and yellows before falling off the trees. Many of them end up collecting in the gutters around your home. It is crucial that you clean out your gutters before the accumulation of leaves and other debris create blockages and prevent rainwater from flowing freely toward the drains. Failing to do so will put your home at risk for ice dams and overflow.
