6 Maintenance Tips for Your Roof

Have you ever heard the expression “all you need is a roof over your head”? Well what if that roof has a leak? What if the neighborhood birds have made homes in the holes and cracks between your gutters? What if your roof is growing more green plant material than you garden?



Roofs are so important to the proper insulation, protection and function of your home or office space. Roofs are your biggest line of defense against inclement weather and because of this, they receive a lot of wear and tear.  

So protect your roof the best you can. Contact Spokane’s professionals and roofing contractors when you need roofing repair, roofing supplies and roofing materials. They’ve got the know how and expertise to bring your roof back to working order.

The Inland Northwest can be especially rough on roofs. Snow, wind, rain, hail and ice are the culprits of wintertime damage, so here are some tips to get your roof ready for season.   

Tip 1: Check all gutters and make sure they’re clean. Gutter guards or leaf covers are helpful because they keep ice from building up inside the gutter, which can tear them down.

Tip 2: Make sure your gutters are securely fastened.

Tip 3: Make sure the drains are functioning.

Tip 4: Check the mortar and brick on your chimneys and call a mason to make any repairs.

Tip 5: Check all flashings (the metal pieces used to waterproof interruptions in the roof plane such as pipes, chimneys, sky lights). If you suspect a deficiency and are unsure about how to fix it, call a roofing contractor. Snow leaks can wreak havoc on a house’s interior during the winter.

Tip 6: Check all areas of caulking. Touch up any suspected deficiencies.
