Maintaining a Residential Roof

A new roof installation can be a costly expense and one that should require future checkups. Homeowners can do these checkups by themselves without having to hire a professional. Here’s a look at some simple ways to maintain a residential roof.

Regular Inspections
Inspections go beyond just looking for major damage from debris. This includes checking for smaller cracks, holes, missing shingles and any indentations in the roof. It is not always safe to go walking around on a roof. In instances where that is not a possibility, use a pair of binoculars to get a closer look. Harsher weather also calls for more frequent inspections
