Extending Your Roofing System’s Lifespan

One of your biggest investments as a homeowner is your roofing system. Depending on the material, it can offer years of dependable weather protection, so you’ll want to ensure you’re getting the most out of it. Fortunately, extending your roof’s service life is not as difficult as you might think.  

Keep reading to learn how to extend the lifespan of your roof.

Ensure the Gutters Are Clean

Gutters direct water away from your house, preventing damage to the foundation, siding and roof. If your gutters are clogged due to dirt and debris accumulation, rainwater will not properly drain from your roofing system. This may result in water ponding and accelerated shingle damage if it is not promptly addressed. Invest in routine gutter cleaning or a high-quality gutter protection system to keep debris out of your gutters and avoid blockages.

Prioritize Roof Repairs

Has your roof been repaired right away if it sustained significant weather damage? If you don’t address the issue, it will worsen and damage your roof and house even more. Call a trusted roofer like LePage and Sons Roofing LLC to keep your roofing system strong and intact.

Schedule Regular Maintenance and Inspections

If you ignore roof damage, this will reduce the useful life of your roofing system. This can be easily avoided by planning routine inspections with a reputable contractor. A thorough roof inspection enables you to identify any emerging issues with your system, allowing you to address them. Most professionals advise having your roof inspected yearly or following any significant weather event.

Work With Professional Local Contractors

Don’t pick a roofing company solely based on price. Choose a specialist with the necessary experience and a good track record.
