Follow these tips to ensure your roof is well-maintained throughout the year.

Spring: 1. Inspect for Winter Damage - Check for any signs of damage that may have occurred during the winter months, such as missing shingles, leaks, or water stains on your ceiling. 2. Clean Gutters and Downspouts - Clear out any debris from your gutters and downspouts to prevent water from backing up and causing damage to your roof and home. 3. Trim Overhanging Branches - Trim back any branches that hang over your roof to prevent damage from falling limbs.

Summer: 1. Inspect for Hail Damage - After a summer storm, check your roof for any signs of hail damage, such as dents or cracked shingles. 2. Check for Moss and Algae Growth - Keep an eye out for any moss or algae growth on your roof and clean it off to prevent damage to your shingles. 3. Check Attic Ventilation - Make sure your attic is properly ventilated to prevent heat buildup and moisture accumulation, which can lead to roof damage.

Fall: 1. Clean Gutters and Downspouts - Once again, clear out any debris from your gutters and downspouts to prepare for the winter months. 2. Inspect for Wind Damage - Check for any loose or missing shingles that may have been damaged by strong winds. 3. Schedule a Professional Inspection - Contact NPR Roofers to schedule a professional inspection to catch any minor issues before they turn into major problems.

Winter: 1. Clear Snow and Ice - Remove snow and ice buildup from your roof to prevent ice dams and water damage. 2. Check for Leaks - After a heavy snowfall, check your attic for any signs of leaks or water damage. 3. Monitor for Signs of Damage - Keep an eye out for any signs of damage throughout the winter months and address them promptly.
