Conducting Regular Roof Inspections

To ensure the longevity of your roof, regular inspections are essential. This step-by-step guide will help you successfully identify potential problem areas before they evolve into larger issues. As a rule of thumb, inspections should be conducted at least twice a year and after severe weather conditions. However, if climbing up the roof seems daunting, we are just a call away.

Cleaning Your Gutters

Simple and unassuming as it may seem, cleaning your gutters is a crucial part of roof maintenance. Blockages can lead to overflows, damaging both your roof and house exterior. Moreover, stagnant water can attract pests and create a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Again, if getting dirty isn’t your thing, our team at Thrifty Roofs is eager to lend a helping hand.

Moss and Algae Removal

Dark streaks on your roof are generally algae, and the green fluffy stuff is moss. Both of these can damage your roof over time. Consider purchasing a moss or algae remover from your local hardware store, and give your roof a good cleaning. However, this can be a slippery job. If you feel the task is too risky, do not hesitate to contact us at Thrifty Roofs.

Replacing Damaged Shingles

Over time, shingles can get damaged and will need replacing. If you spot curling, missing granules, or cracks on a shingle, it’s a clear sign that replacement is required. You’ll need some essential tools like a pry bar, roofing nails, hammer, and of course, replacement shingles. Here is a comprehensive guide on replacing damaged shingles. But, if you’d rather sit back and let the professionals handle it, we’ve got you covered.

In conclusion, maintaining your roof does not always require professional intervention. Sometimes, with a bit of elbow grease and useful information, you can keep your roof in decent condition. However, never take undue risks. If you feel a task is beyond your comfort zone, remember, Thrifty Roofs is available to take the worries off your shoulders.
