Protect your roof and wallet with these savvy tips to prevent pricey repairs. Start by keeping your gutters spick and span, ensuring proper drainage. Regularly inspect your roof for debris, missing or damaged shingles, and any growth of moss, fungus, or algae. Trim nearby trees to prevent branches from touching your roof, as they can cause damage. A leaf blower can help clear leaves and debris from the roof’s surface. Swiftly replace any missing or damaged shingles to avoid further issues. Schedule periodic professional inspections to catch problems early. Finally, seal cracked mortar or caulking around joints, chimneys, and skylights to keep your roof watertight and secure.
