Maintenance Tips
Gutter Check
The warm weather makes this an ideal time of the year to clean out gutter debris. Practice caution when walking on the roof and follow manufacturer's instructions when using a ladder to reach gutters. Use a shop vac or your hands to remove debris from the gutters.
While cleaning out the gutters, check for an accumulation of asphalt shingle granules. Granule accumulation in the gutters could signal its time to replace the roof.
Branch Control
Trim back any tree branches that are within the roof's area. This will reduce the number of twigs and leaves that make their way onto the roof and into the gutters. Trimming branches can also prevent algae and fungus growth by decreasing roof shade, a condition algae and fungus thrive in.
