SPRING CLEANING ROOF CHECKLIST - ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW

The roofs of our homes are the most important aspect. We have to make a point to keep them in top-notch condition to help keep ourselves protected. At, Specialized Roof Solutions, your safety is our number one priority and we make it a point to provide you with the best services possible. Our skilled professionals have curated a list of things one should take care of about the roof. Many of us do not even bother checking or cleaning the roof unless there is a leak. Winter is almost over and now it is time to give your roof a thorough inspection. You can opt for professional help, as we have an eye for detail and can spot any discrepancy from a distance too. It is important to invest in a professional inspection as it is always better to take care of a problem at its inception. The more time it takes, the more damage it will cause. If you feel like taking things into your own hands, be careful while mounting and dismounting the roof. It can be dangerous to do it without proper care. Here is a checklist that you can follow.

● Clear Off All The Debris.

If your roof has unnecessary things lying on it there is a chance of mold and fungus growing. The growth of these always leads to degradation of the roof faster. If you are negligent, there is a high chance that the roof will require replacement. Be the smart one and get rid of all that is there on the roof. Sun exposure keeps mold out of sight but damp places are the best breeding ground for them.

● Examine The Roof For Loose Shingles.

The most common telltale for a roof repair is loose shingles. The snow and ice can be hard on the roof and cause the shingles to curl, separate, and in some cases fall off. If you find a problem, nail them back as soon as you can, or just simply pick up the phone and contact your nearest roofing contractor.

● Check The Attic

Only outside inspection does not do the job. You must visit the attic and check for any mold patches or damp spots. These things tell us that there has been a leakage in the roof and it needs immediate professional help. Do not try to take care of it yourself, there are chances you might make it worse. A professional can easily spot what is wrong with the leak and where it is coming from. Be the smart one and call us to take care of the roof.

● Check And Clean The Gutters

Rainwater should always have a clean and designated exit from the roof. This is only possible when the gutters are clear of any debris, leaves, etc. While cleaning the gutters if you spot dirt, contact a roofing contractor. This can be a sign of roof damage. Not only should you clean your roof before spring arrives but also cut the tree branches short to stop the leaves falling on the roof.
