Simple Ways to Take Care of Your Roof

Larry Walty II • March 4, 2021

Your roof is a core component of your home that facilitates safety, integrity, and also brings around the whole home’s design. As such, you want to do your best to take care of it so that you can get the most out of your investment. In this post, Larry Walty Roofing, the top  commercial roof repair  company, shares some easy ways you can take care of your roof.

Spot Your Shingles

When you’re having a roof inspection, make sure that your roofer pays attention to any missing or damaged shingles. Even if they’re free of damage, it helps to clean your shingles to keep them free from dirt and also helps reduce the buildup of algae, moss, fungus, and other organic growth that can compromise your roof’s integrity.

If you feel that your roof’s shingles are damaged beyond repair, do not hesitate to contact your local  roof repair  and replacement contractor for assistance. Do not attempt to repair your roof on your own as you could do more harm than good. It’s also worth checking if the underlayment has also been affected since unchecked damage could lead to bigger problems in the future.

Replace Old Roof Sealant

During a roof maintenance session, make sure that you have your roof’s sealant checked as well. Inspect all points with sealants and have them replaced if they’re cracked or damaged. Make sure that they are removed completely and have them reapplied to keep your home protected against the elements.
