How to Increase the Lifespan of Your Roof

4/15/2020

​Protecting your home starts by taking the right preventative steps. The roof on your house tends to see a lot of wear and tear over the years. Intense weather, heavy snows, and time itself can all play into the integrity of this aspect of your residence. Luckily, there are some easy ways to get more from your roof. The average roof lifespan can be extended by giving yourself time to practice care and maintenance.

Clean the Gutters

One of the easiest ways to keep your roof protected against the ravages of time is by cleaning out the gutters. The gutters running along your home can easily fill with leaves, branches, and other obstructions. Water that is left to sit in a gutter can freeze, expand, and cause serious damage to the structures. By cleaning them out regularly, you can reduce the odds of an avoidable and costly issue developing in your gutters.

Post-Storm Assessment

Typically, a roof should last for about 20 years. Unfortunately, the average roof lifespan can be negatively impacted by factors like the weather. When a storm blows through your area, it can cause debris to fall on your home and blow shingles from their fixed places. After serious weather conditions, it can be wise to assess any damage that might have taken place. Staying on top of problems like this can help you get more from your roof and stop an issue before it gets worse.

Professional Insight

Another great way to get more from your roof is by contacting professionals who specialize in roofing services. An expert can take a look at your home and offer more in-depth insight on any potential problems with the integrity of your roof. It is good to get into the habit of having a professional assess your roof at least once a year, as to offer you an idea of whether or not you need to invest in a replacement.

Consider Insulation

Proper insulation in your attic can also help you extend the average roof lifespan. Take a look at your attic and see if the ventilation needs improvement. If the attic reaches very high temperatures in the summer, it can lead to damage to your insulation and the rest of your home. Make the right adjustments to your attic and get more out of the way your roof handles the changing seasons.
Getting more from your roof starts with proper maintenance. Get into the right habits and learn how you can increase the lifespan on your roof.
