New Year, New Roof? Not quite, but let's check-in! Are you ringing in 2024 with resolutions for a smooth year? Remember your trusty roof! It keeps the rain out and the cozy in, so let's give it some love with a quick New Year's checklist: Roof Inspection: Ground control to the roof: Grab some binoculars (or safely climb if you're adventurous!) and scan for missing, cracked, or curled shingles. Flashing fun? Check around chimneys, vents, and skylights for any gaps or wear in the flashing (those metal seals). Gutters galore: Are they sagging or overflowing? Clogged gutters can cause significant water damage, so clear those leaves and debris! Cleaning Crew: Moss or no moss? Moss build-up can trap moisture and damage shingles. Tackle it gently with a broom or specialized cleaners. Branch out: Trim any overhanging branches that could scratch or puncture your roof. Downspout detective: Make sure downspouts are securely attached, directing water away from your foundation. Bonus Round: Schedule a pro check: Consider getting a professional inspection (especially if you spotted any major concerns) for peace of mind. Warranty Wonders: Check your warranty paperwork for any maintenance requirements or deadlines. Rooftop resolutions: Make a plan for any repairs or replacements you know are coming up. You'll set yourself up for a happy and dry new year by giving your roof some TLC!
