Roof Maintenance Checklist Every Homeowner Needs

Regular roof maintenance is the single most effective way to extend roof lifespan and avoid emergency repairs.

Many major roof failures begin as minor issues that go unnoticed for years.

Inspect After Severe Weather

Storms can loosen fasteners, damage flashings, and displace sheets. Visual inspections after extreme weather help catch problems early.

Check Fasteners and Seals

Fasteners expand and contract over time. Perished washers are a common cause of leaks.

Clean Gutters and Valleys

Blocked drainage accelerates corrosion and causes water backflow under sheets.
