Should I do roof maintenance?

Yes! If you have a new roof you don’t need to think about this until 5 years out. If your roof is over 10 years old you should do roof maintenance every 2-3 years and clean your gutters every year.

Here’s how:

Clean out valleys and gutters, inspect all flashings for cracks- seal as needed.
Look for flashing nails that are pushing out.
Inspect and replace drain waste vent collars

If you do not want to do this yourself, please reach out because we are happy to take care of this for you.
