Top 5 Maintenance Tips to Keep your Roof in Great Shape

Over time, every roof in Metro Denver and Colorado will sustain damage and start to deteriorate.

There are steps you can take to lengthen the lifespan of your roof, so it will last 15-30 years. Listed below are the top 5 Maintenance tips we provide and suggest you follow if you want your roofing system to last:

1. Remove Debris & Keep Your Roof Clean

In heavy winds and hailstorms debris such as tree branches and wet leaves can land on your roof and create moss growth and rot if not removed.

2. Examine the Flashing

Flashing is one of the most important parts of your roof. Flashing is located around chimneys, roofing vents, skylights and sidewalls. If damaged or deteriorated water will penetrate the interior of your home causing costly repairs.

Have the flashing inspected after every storm and at least once a year by an ARCM professional.

3. Keep Gutters Clear

Clogged gutters can cause an overflow of water which can create roofing and fascia problems. If left ignored the gutters can pull away from the fascia leaving your roofing shingles and decking exposed to water.

ARCM Roofing offers gutter cleaning with the roof maintenance plan.

4. Check for Signs of Mold & Algae

Mold and algae may be tough to spot at first but should be cleaned right away. Not only is it unattractive and hazardous, it can eat away your roofing shingles quickly.

5. Schedule Regular Inspections
