If 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.

This 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.

No 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.

If 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.

It helps to think of scheduled roofing maintenance as the equivalent of your annual physical checkup. The same applies to your roof; professionals like us at Boyd Construction Co Inc., inspect your roof inside and out, edge to ridge, then we tell you which parts of your roof will need repairs. It may cost money, but it’s only a fraction of the cost of a premature roof replacement.

As professionals, we are trained to spot even the smallest potential roofing problems and can give you an accurate assessment of your roof’s condition. We will also come up with a repair and maintenance plan that works as a long-term solution. We’ll check your attic ventilation and the condition of the insulation while we’re at it. In some cases, professional roof repairs help extend an overdue roof’s lifespan for a few more years, enough time for a homeowner to prepare for a scheduled replacement.
