3 Tips to Maintain Your Roof and Keep Money in Your Pocket: 1. Conduct Periodic Maintenance of the Roof System Every year, clean out all drain pipes, gutters, valleys and downspouts. An occasional “tune-up” by a licensed and qualified roofing contractor can extend the life of the roof significantly. 2. Avoid Installing Products or Fastening Items to the Roof Shingles are not always strong enough to hold up satellite dishes and other electronic receivers. If you attach something to the roof, make sure it’s located on as close to a flat surface as you can manage as this will prevent pulling on the shingles. 3. Keep the Roof Well Ventilated A ridge vent installed in the center peak of the roof is one way to accomplish this. Some problems that can be a direct result of a failure to do so are mineral loss on the shingle surface, heat loss, moisture buildup and mold spore growth. Following these simple steps will keep your roof looking newer longer and prevent the headache that improper maintenance brings!
