How to Maintain Asphalt Shingle Roofs

The life span of your roof will always depend on how you maintain it. Proper procedure and execution will keep your roof’s performance at its peak. Home Pro Exteriors, Inc. shares a list of what you should look out for when doing your own maintenance or even when you’re considering getting a contractor for a roof replacement.

Clear Away Debris

Debris will always pile up on your roof when it doesn’t get maintained regularly. Not only does it affect the quality of your roof, but it could also increase the chance of cracking and splitting that may lead to the formation of leaks. Maintaining the cleanliness of your roof would help in the prevention of debris build up that affects your roof.

Check the Shingles

A regular inspection of your roof’s shingles will help you figure out if any portion of the rooftop is damaged or if the roof itself needs roof repair. Note that while you can do a cursory inspection on your own, a professional inspection will be a better choice. A trained professional will be more capable of spotting any issues on your roof.

Check the Gutters

In the same way that debris on the roof can impact the roof’s performance, you also need to check the gutters for any obstructions or damage. Ensure that the gutters are free from leaves and granules and other types of debris. If there are sections of the gutter that seem to be out of place or damaged, consult a professional contractor to see if it could be easily repaired.

Check the Flashing

The flashing of your roof keeps roof edges from turning into large leaks. This is why you need to make sure that your flashings are still secure and functional.

If you need the help of a professional, don’t hesitate to give Home Pro Exteriors, the region’s top roofing contractor and deck builder, a call. We’ll be able to assist you with the inspection, maintenance and repair of your roof with little trouble.

DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
HERE IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY

When we needed a new roof for our home we were met by Home Pro’s lead man, Dan Lynch, who provided us with a detailed breakdown of what the job entailed and the steps that would be taken to complete it. That breakdown was clear, concise and followed thru with professionalism. Home Pro gave us a quality job at a fair price, and you can’t ask for more.

This is the second time we have used Home Pro Exteriors. First time we had a new roof installed and we were completely satisfied with their work. Clean and efficient. Never know the crew was there! Now we had a new window installed in our bedroom…Wow what a difference! both of the crews that worked on our home were extremely professional. and again you would never know any work was done clean and efficient as usual. We would recommend Home Pro to anyone looking for the very best in exterior work for their home.

My wife and I decided to build a home from the ground up. With all the things we had to worry about we didn’t want finding a reliable contractor to be one of them. We called Home Pro to put up the siding because they offered the product and color we were looking for. Their execution was impeccable and more importantly they were honest and reliable.

I hired Home Pro Exteriors to help us execute several projects on a home renovation show and Joe and his crew were as good as it gets. He was professional, friendly, courteous, and worked effectively and efficiently to get the job done. Not only did Joe help execute ideas, but he built an art studio from scratch and made our clients cry tears of joy. He even designed and custom made draft boards for the artist himself...

We thought redoing our roof would be a nightmare but Home Pro was a dream come true. We really appreciated the time they took to explain what we could expect of the project. Their workers were skilled and a pleasure to deal with. We’re very happy with the finished result and have already recommended Home Pro to others!

We finally decided this was the year to build a patio room off the living room. We called several companies for an estimate, and we are so glad Home Pro was one of them. They listened to our needs and worked with us to build a suitable design. They always came on time, kept the space clean, and finished within the timeline given. We are so happy with our patio room! Thanks guys!
