The summer is the perfect time to evaluate your current roof. Before getting your ladder and going up to your roof, you should first walk around your home and be on the lookout for any shingles that may have come off during a storm or from the previous Winter. Here are a few more helpful tips for basic roofing maintenance during the summer months.

• Remove any debris or tree branches that may be on your roof so they won’t damage the exterior.

• Debris can accumulate in your gutters from previous months such as leaves and branches. Make sure that you clean out your gutters properly to ensure no damage is done to them.

• Check to see if any of your gutters could have loosened up during strong winds or storms; make sure to tighten all the gutter bolts with a wrench.

• It’s important to inspect your attic ventilation to ensure that the air is flowing properly to prevent mold and mildew growth.

• If you notice severe problems with your roof, the best thing you could do is contact a professional contractor to further look into the situation.
