Keeping Your Residential Roof in Great Condition

When we think about the aspect and the exterior protection of a home, the roof surely comes into our minds the most often.

Roof maintenance will begin immediately after installation with removal of the debris resulted from the assembly, the remaining materials and unused accessories. Better say, proper maintenance starts with cleaning after roof installation.

For roofs that are still in their warranty period, Wichita roofers recommend at least a detailed inspection in the first five years. This way, if you discover some problems, you can get in touch with specialists in time and you can benefit from the manufacturer's warranty. However, a visual inspection should be performed every year. Check the status of the color layer and look for uneven spots or discoloration. Dirt and stains are common, but can be removed with water, a brush and some roof-friendly detergent.

Gutters and downspouts will also be cleaned annually, to avoid blockages or damage. Fasteners and other accessories will also be checked periodically. Anything that is not tightly attached will increase the risk of corrosion; therefore, broken or damaged accessories will be immediately replaced by other products. This way you will be protected from unwanted and unpleasant surprises.
