Nurturing Your New Roof After Residential Reroofing

22 Oct 24

If you’ve recently had a residential reroofing job done on your home, congratulations on your new roof! A fresh roof means a fresh start. It enhances your home’s curb appeal, provides crucial protection against the elements and gives you peace of mind.

Now that the installation is complete, it’s time to focus on proper care to ensure your investment lasts for years to come.

Regular Inspections

Residential reroofing can bring new life to your entire home, but it takes proper care to keep it that way. Monthly checks and seasonal inspections can add years to the lifespan of your new roof.

Conduct a quick visual inspection of your roof each month and look out for any signs of damage, such as missing shingles, cracks or leaks. At the end of each season, pay attention to gutters and chimneys to check for debris clogging or excess water. This is especially important after stormy seasons.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Debris and moss can build up before you know it, and you wouldn’t want this to damage your brand new roof just after reroofing your residential property. Clear your roof of debris like leaves and twigs, regularly. These can accumulate and cause moisture buildup, leading to potential damage such as mould and sagging. Remember to keep your gutters free of obstructions to prevent water from collecting and causing roof damage.

Tree Trimming

In many cases, people require residential reroofing after a tree has fallen over and damaged their roof. For this reason, we recommend keeping overhanging branches safely away from your roof, especially after you’ve just had a new roof installed. Remove any tree branches that hang over your roof or ask a professional to help you, as these can cause significant damage during storms and shed unwanted debris onto your roof.

Professional Maintenance

Finally, schedule regular maintenance checks with a qualified roofing professional. The same team that did your residential reroofing may even offer monthly maintenance, and it’s worth enquiring about. Professional roofing experts can identify potential issues early on and provide expert advice to keep your new roof in tip top shape.
