1. Trim Back Trees and Landscaping

Trees play a huge role when it comes to beautifying your landscape. However, they can also cause some ugly problems. This is why you must not have tree limbs and branches too close to your roof. These can be easily knocked loose during storms, and they can cause substantial damage to your roof. Once that happens, squirrels and other critters can easily enter your roof and invade your home. The best way to prevent this is to clear away any threatening branches. All you need to do is ask your roofing company which trees, shrubs, and other plants should be removed from your property.

2. Clean Your Gutters

Every season brings debris that will likely end up in your gutters. You must always ensure that your gutters are clean and debris-free to avoid roof damage. If your gutters aren't able to move water from the roof to the ground, you can end up with roof decking rot. Blocked gutters can also cause roof leaks. This is why you need to call professional roofers who offer gutter cleaning services now and then to ensure that nothing is obstructing the flow of water in your gutters. This will allow water to flow freely down the gutters and away from your foundation.

3. Obtain Regular Roof Inspections

One of the best things you can do for your roof is to call in professional roofers regularly to examine your roof. There are several tasks you can DIY on your home, but roof maintenance and repair shouldn't be one of them. This is a job that should be left to professional roofers. If you decide to inspect your roof on your own, there are lots of things that you can miss. Apart from that, climbing on the roof can be a bit dangerous if you don't have the necessary experience and safety equipment. You can either get injured, damage your roof, or violate your warranty or insurance terms.

Roof maintenance is not too difficult. All you need to do is be proactive about it. In other words, you shouldn't wait for problems to start before doing something about your roof.
