We needed to get some roofing maintenance tips for our house

We paid to get a new roof put on our house in the fall, but we didn’t really think about getting any good roofing maintenance tips at that time.

  • I guess when something is brand new like a brand new roofing installation, you’re not really thinking much about it getting old or wearing out.

It was the same thing when I bought my brand new tennis shoes this summer. I should have paid for the waterproofing spray to help repel the dirt and dust and water from my shoes, but since they were new and beautiful, I didn’t really think that I needed it! Of course, eventually, I wished that I had done it to start with, because now my shoes look terrible. I guess it’s the same thing with your roofing and gutters. When you first get a brand new roof installation, the roof looks great and you know that it’s going to do its job without much help. You don’t think about the things that you need to do to maintain it and keep it looking new. However, a few months and several windstorms into it, you decide that you should probably try to protect your investment as much as possible. When I called our roofing company to ask what the best way to keep our roof looking new was, he laughed and said that he had been expecting my call. I guess most people tend to treat their new roofing and gutter systems the same way. It’s something that you take for granted until it starts to malfunction. Hopefully, we will be able to keep our roofing materials looking new and doing their job for years to come.
