Most roofs are built to last for many decades, but failing to have basic preventative maintenance performed on one’s roof over time can reduce its life span and lead to costly repairs over time. So if you want to make sure that your roof lasts as long as possible, there are some basic preventative maintenance steps that you should take to make this happen.
Most importantly, you should be sure to schedule a routine roof inspection at least once per year. However, if you live in an area with a fluctuating climate, it is actually best to do this twice per year–once in the winter and one during the summer. A routine inspection will alert you to any developing roofing problems. Most of the time, these can be fixed inexpensively and with minor repairs, which is better than waiting until the problems get worse and cost you much more to fix.
Furthermore, always be sure to replace missing shingles as necessary and clean out gutters as often as possible.
