ImproveIT! of Atlanta

As spring draws near, it’s important to give your residential roofing system the attention it deserves. To maximize your roof’s lifespan and reduce the risk of needing costly emergency repairs, follow these maintenance tips from leading roofing contractor ImproveIT! of Atlanta, LLC.  

Examine Your Roof Thoroughly

With the help of binoculars, you can perform a basic roof inspection from the ground. Look for broken gutters, cracked eaves and missing shingles. If you see anything that looks out of place, call your trusted roofer to have the damage repaired. 

Check for Water Damage

Your roof may have sustained water damage over the winter. If not addressed promptly, this damage may affect the entire system’s structural integrity. The best way to fix the issue – and prevent extensive damage – is to get in touch with a roof repair expert. 

Clean Your Clogged Gutters

The purpose of your gutters and downspouts is to direct rainwater away from your property. The presence of clogs, however, prevents them from doing this. Get rid of any debris or dirt from inside the gutters this spring. While you’re at it, check for any signs of rust and corrosion, which could indicate that a replacement is needed.

Look for Mold and Algae

Your roof plays a role in your home’s curb appeal. Streaks of mold or algae on the roof’s surfaces can downgrade its overall appearance significantly. While these can be washed away, routine maintenance is still the best way to prevent the growth of these organisms on your roof.

Follow these maintenance tips and you’ll be sure of a good-looking and properly performing roofing system this spring and beyond. For your roofing needs, turn to ImproveIT! of Atlanta, LLC.
