Many residential and commercial roofing materials today are designed to withstand harsh outdoor elements. However, it doesn’t mean they are completely invincible to the effects of extreme weather. For instance, high winds can tear off shingles and heavy rains can cause leaks.
Some residential roofing options offer better weather protection than others. It pays to invest in materials that suit your local climate. If you’re unsure which ones to get, it will also help to consult experienced professionals. They will assess your home and recommend the best roofing option for you.
Gutters play a significant role in keeping your roof in good shape. Excessive moisture can speed up the deterioration of shingles. Making sure your gutters are in top condition can help extend the life of your roof. Be sure to have them cleaned regularly to avoid clogs that can cause water to back up to your roof and overflow to the rest of your exterior.
While trees provide shade and contribute to your property’s appeal, they can increase the likelihood of damage to your home during a storm. Branches can scratch and poke holes in shingles. Leaves and twigs can accumulate in your gutters and cause clogs. Keep trees and shrubs away from your home to save yourself from these issues.
