Top 6 Ways to Extend the Life of Your Roof

• When it comes to building a home or any other
  construction building, the roof plays an
  important role. It keeps you dry during heavy
  spring storms and warm in freezing winter
  temperatures. Just like the roof takes care of
  you, you should also overlook your roof. It
  will extend the life of your roof and prevent the
  expense of a complete replacement.
• To do this, an annual roofing inspection is
  essential. Highly skilled roofing contractors do
  an inspection. They closely examine your roof
  issues, whether roof storm damage repair in
  Keller, TX or complete roof replacement.
• Do you want to extend the lifespan of a roof from
  15 and 50 years? If your answer is yes, then go
  through the roof below, take care and ensure that
  you stay on the higher end of that range.

1. Choose A Reliable, Qualified Roofer

• When you need shingle roof replacement or repairs
  done, its essential to hire a reliable,
  qualified company to do the work. Look for
  a company thats fully insured and ask about
  manufacturer certifications. These indicate
  professionalism and a commitment to their craft.

2. Keep The Gutters Clean

• As leaves build up, gutters may become blocked.
  Water wont correctly flow away from your roof,
  and you could end up with damage to areas like
  the lower deck board.

3. Kill That Moss And Mold

• Shady areas of your roof might be prone to
  growing moss and mold. While the green color is
  kind of pleasant, it isnt worth the trouble.
  Moss and mold will feed on whatever surface they
  infest, breaking it down slowly. Also, moss and
  mold tend to hold moisture, which only
  accelerates the decay.

4. Insulate to Keep Heat Out

• Shingle roofs absorb heat and, if the attic isnt
  adequately insulated, interior spaces heat up.
  Its important to avoid blocking vents with
  insulation. Having insulation correctly
  installed with the right type and amount will
  ensure it provides maximum energy efficiency.

5. Check for Exposed Nails

• Nails that have come loose can create an entryway
  for water. With gravity and roof slope, water
  coming through a tiny gap can show up in
  different parts of your home, such as the
  drywall in your living room. Hammering in loose
  nails is a quick fix to prevent water damage.

6. Check the Attic

• In addition to inspecting the external roof,
  examine the underside from the attic. Check for
  signs of water damage to the decking the
  plywood visible on the attic roof. Additionally,
  make sure your attic has proper ventilation
  and insulation. It will help you to 
• extend the roof life for longer!
