Take care of Your Composite Roof and it will take care of You

Home, family, and business mean different things nowadays. More people are spending more time than ever working from home. Your roof is the big protector of your home or business. It is your biggest investment and your biggest asset. It is where your family or your business shelters their dreams.  If you chose a composite roof you have chosen a roof that will protect you from the elements from anywhere from 20 to 50 years with regular maintenance.

Protect your roof and guttering by keeping on a maintenance schedule. 

1.Clean off debris and leaves, which hold water and cause deterioration or discolor.

2. Empty and unclog gutters on a regular basis.

3. Inspect the flashing to make sure it is solid and not deteriorating. Seal if needed, removing old caulking and scrubbing area clean.

4. Secure loose shingle tabs with roofing cement if needed.

5. Inspect and repair any major joints or areas where one surface runs into another; like a chimney or a skylight

6. Prune trees and branches that touch or hang over the roof. This keeps them from rubbing on it but also keeps squirrels and other climbing animals off your roof.

Different climates treat composite roofs differently. No matter the surface, it is your major protection from the elements and regular inspection or maintenance will make it last the longest. Heat and cold may fade color, storms may damage shingles, but just getting a look at your own roof can help you head off leaks and catch issues before they turn into problems. If you have questions or want an idea of cost; then consult a professional.

A trusted roofing professional can help you decide the scope of work that needs to be done, whether maintenance, patching or replacement. Protect your investment and it will protect you for years to come.
