Spring is a popular time for home improvement projects, such as installing windows, siding, roof and rain gutter covers. Now that it’s warmer, many are already planning their spring cleaning tasks.
Here are a few chores you shouldn’t forget to include in your spring cleaning to-do list.
Schedule Roof Maintenance
Regular inspections and maintenance allow you to detect and address roofing issues before leaks occur. Regular roof cleaning also helps minimize the risk of roof damage, while boosting curb appeal too. Leaves, branches and other debris that land on your roof retain moisture, which can cause damage. They can also end up in your gutters and cause clogs, another leak hazard. Routine cleaning can help extend the lifespan of your roof and gutters.
Have Your Gutters Cleaned
Gutters require regular maintenance and cleaning. When they are in poor shape or have clogs, water may back up to the roof and drip down to the rest of your home. Aside from damaging your home’s exterior, this can also compromise your basement, foundation and landscaping. Having your gutters professionally cleaned at least twice a year can help you avoid costly repairs.
Invest in a Quality Gutter Protection System
Maintaining your gutters will be a breeze with high-quality rain gutter covers. They prevent debris — such as branches, shingle granules, seeds and leaves — from entering your gutter system, eliminating the need for constant cleaning. A gutter protection system reduces the risk of clogs and contributes to good water flow. Reduced likelihood of ice dam formation and fire protection are other benefits of investing in one.
