Keep Your Roof in Tip Top Shape This Spring

Along with spring comes rain and stormy weather. Mother Nature can inflict damage on homeowners’ roofs that can go unnoticed. I recommend homeowners take the following steps to make sure roofs are in tip-top shape this spring.


Start on the ground.


o   Look for any missing, loose or damaged shingles.


o   Inspect gutters to ensure they are not clogged or partially collapsed.


o   Make sure your roofline doesn’t sag.


o   Check for any evidence of water penetration in attic and ceilings after wet weather.  Simply poke your head up into the attic and scan with a flashlight

Take an up-close look at your roof.


o   Check flashings around all roof penetrations and sidewalls.


o   Look for open seams, blisters, debris, standing water or bald areas on flat roofs.


o   Inspect antenna and satellite dish supports and flashings for possible leak sources.


o   Check fascia and soffits for deterioration and damage.


o   Look carefully around any pipes and chimneys for signs of leaks.


A homeowner can complete basic repairs, but a professional should always complete major repairs.
