5 Tips for fall roof maintenanceROOF REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE FOR FALLIf you’ve ever tried to deal with major roofing issues in the dead of winter—then you understand what a nightmare this can be. Even Boyd Construction Co Inc gets exponentially more expensive in the “off” season. These five maintenance tips can prevent major issues during Fall and keep your roof in top shape year-round. Eliminate ThreatsThis may seem like common sense, but it’s important to eliminate any immediate threats to your roof in the surrounding area. This means cutting down overhanging tree branches, removing any loose decorations, and taking care of anything that could get blown over and cause residual damage. Calling in a tree service or a Washington DC Roofing Company can advise you on the best way to do this safely. Have Your Roof Professionally InspectedDon’t “eyeball” the condition of your roof. Call in a professional roofing company to inspect its integrity and to make sure that your roof is in good shape for Fall. Finding a roofing company you can trust can be a huge asset for any homeowner. Don’t Neglect Your Gutters!Check “cleaning the gutters” off of your To-do list. Keeping gutters free of debris allows water to freely move away from your home. This is extremely important at the change of any season. Make sure that you check the integrity of your gutters and make sure that everything is in good shape as well. Take Advantage of Gutter GuardsNo one really enjoys cleaning their gutters. Gutter guards are devices that fit neatly over the top of your gutters and prevent the buildup of leaves and other debris. During fall, we expect to see an increase in these types of problems, and gutter guards can make a huge difference. It’s fairly easy to find a model that will adequately fit over your gutters, and it can save you a lot of time when it comes to cleaning them out again. Perform Necessary MaintenanceIf your Washington DC Roofing Contractor suggests that you repair any area of your roof, take it seriously! These people are professionals for a reason, and they can give you the best advice to prepare your roof for the oncoming winter. Reach out to Boyd Construction Co Inc for the best service in the Washington DC area. We understand what Winter means for your roof, and we can help you prepare for it!
