Whether your roof is a brand new or has several years in its service life, it is imperative that you keep it in the best possible shape for the longest possible time. With regular maintenance and upkeep, you spare yourself from an untimely replacement and make the most of your investment. To help extend its life span, consider these tips from YES Roofing & Exteriors, your local residential roofing contractor.
Trim Branches From Trees
The ideal distance between the tree branches and your roof is at least 10 feet. That way, you also prevent squirrels and other pests from gaining access to the inner roof layers where they could set up their own real estate.
Remove Leaves
As your local new roof installation pros, we recommend having a professional work on removing these dry leaves. Though you can do so on your own, you don’t want to put yourself in danger since it involves getting up the roof.
Hire a Roofing Pro
The best way to extend your roof’s life span is to seek professional help as soon as you find shingle damage, loose flashing and stains and mold growth in your attic or ceiling. At YES Roofing & Exteriors, we can inspect your roof and map out the best course of action to keep it in great shape.
