How to Protect Your Roof This Summer
With summer upon us, many homeowners are busy preparing their home for the warm months ahead. Prioritizing your roof is important for maintaining your home and protecting it from damage.
As you get your home summer-ready, here are some important summer roofing tips to help protect the roof of your Buffalo home:
Schedule regular maintenance and inspections
The summer is an ideal time to schedule a yearly roof inspection for your Buffalo home, as it’s easier for maintenance contractors to assess your roof when the weather is favorable. This gives you an opportunity to have any necessary repairs made on your roof before the climate turns in the fall and winter. Identifying problems before they progress to worse, more costly issues will save you a lot of time and aggravation in the future!
Address insulation problems
Poor insulation from your roof can wreak havoc on your home over time. If you’ve been experiencing extreme temperature fluctuations or mold, a lack of insulation may be the culprit. A roofing contractor can fully evaluate the quality of your roof’s insulation and make necessary repairs. For instance, if your attic has too much heat, the accumulation of condensation can cause the build-up of mold or mildew. By having insultation coatings and covers added to your roof, you can protect your roof’s structure from both exterior and interior damage.
Clear your gutters
Gutter maintenance goes hand in hand with roofing maintenance. Clearing your gutters in the summer, including removing leaves, sticks, and debris that have built up during the winter and spring months, will allow your gutters to function properly – especially when heavy rainfall and windstorms occur. If you don’t have the ability to clean your gutters by yourself, consider hiring a professional who can get the job done.
