Spring has arrived, and the temperature is beginning to rise, so it’s the perfect time to start checking your roof for damage caused by heavy ice, snow, rain, harsh winds, and freezing temperatures. Here are five important activities to include in your spring roof maintenance checklist from the roof coating contractor.<\/p>\n
Remove Debris<\/strong><\/p>\n Begin with removing all the debris that got accumulated on your roof. Brush away the leaves and branches before you do any other maintenance work or inspections. Also, make sure to remove mold buildup. This will help you to have a clear view of your roof.<\/p>\n Check for Any Roof Damages<\/strong><\/p>\n The next thing on the checklist is to look for any primary damages, such as cracks in slate shingles, missing sand on asphalt shingles, or rust on metal panels. Look for less apparent issues, like popped-up nails or stains that might indicate leakage under the roof.<\/p>\n Inspect Your Shingles<\/strong><\/p>\n Keep in mind that most roof damages are not easily visible from the ground. Sometimes you may need to climb up and perform a close examination of your roof shingles. If you find shingles that are curling, buckling, or missing, get them repaired or replaced as soon as possible to avoid damage to the roof deck.<\/p>\n
