DIY Roof Maintenance Tips

Your roof does more than cover your home. It protects everything inside. With a little attention throughout the year, you can avoid costly repairs and help your roof last longer.

Start by inspecting your roof from the ground. Look for missing or curling shingles, dark streaks, or worn areas. If anything looks off, it may be time to call in a professional. Clean your gutters regularly, especially in the fall. Clogged gutters can lead to standing water, which often causes leaks or water damage.

Trim back any overhanging branches that might scrape your shingles or drop debris. This helps prevent moss growth and protects the roof surface. Also take a look inside your attic. Water stains, musty smells, or light coming through the boards could mean your roof has a hidden problem.

Most roof repairs should be handled by professionals, but staying alert and managing small tasks like cleaning gutters or checking for early signs of damage makes a big difference.
