Responsible homeowners know that regular home repairs are not just important for enhancing curb appeal, but they are also necessary for your family’s safety. The roof over your head is often the most neglected part of house maintenance that calls for attention now and then.

1.    Check Your Shingles

The best way to keep looking out for your roof is by checking up on it frequently. You don’t need to get a ladder and get on your roof for that — a pair of binoculars can help, too. Check your roof seasonally and especially after a storm, hail, snow, or heavy rain. What you’re looking out for is the condition of the shingles; make sure the tiles are in good order and there aren’t any missing links, broken, curled, or chipped off shingles, etc. When you do notice your shingles out of place, it’s time for some repair work.

2.    Unclog Your Gutters

Your gutters are an important part of your home’s overall exterior. They are there to help keep rainwater away from your home’s foundation but can often become clogged. So, when it comes to maintaining your roof, make sure you don’t neglect the gutters. Check that they are unclogged and not laden with any chipped-off pieces of shingles, granules, and other debris from your roof.

3.    Keep An Eye Out For Leaks In The Attic

When checking your roof, make sure you check your attic as well. The attic ceiling and walls can indicate possible leaks. If you notice any wet patches on the wall, staining or some mould growth, you could use urgent help from reliable roofing repair services.
