Spring Cleaning For Your Roof

The birds are chirping, the flowers are in bloom, and after the long winter, we gladly welcome spring!

For the Hamilton homeowner, it also means spring cleaning. As we prepare for the seasons that follow, your house needs to be in good shape. The best place to start is your roof, which has been sheltering you through all the storms. You want to ensure your roof is in good condition to prevent potential problems that could transpire throughout the year.

Cleaning Out the Gutters

Getting up on the ladder and cleaning out all the leaves and other debris from the gutters is very important. Clogged gutters can lead to more problems in the seasons that follow, such as potential leakage into your home, from your attic to your basement or your garage.

Once you have by hand (ideally with gloves on, don't be a hero) removed the excess gunk buildup, take your hose, and let the water drain through the downspout. Please make sure you have both a spotter while you are on the ladder and someone who can turn the water on and off while you have the hose with you.

Check for Broken or Battered Shingles

The precipitation and weight of ice, snow, and sleet over winter wreak havoc on your roof.

The first line of defence is getting up on the ladder and thoroughly examining your roof shingles. Roof repairs are commonly required as part of your spring cleaning and maintenance routine for your home. If there is damage from winter, leaving this issue unattended could lead to further issues. Luckily Sameday Roofing offers excellent Hamilton roof repair, and replacements are not a costly investment.

Look on the Ground for Shingles and Debris

Commonly overlooked, check your home surroundings. Sometimes a shingle will land somewhere obvious, like your front doorstep, and other times they may be hiding in your boxwoods. Take a good look as you are cleaning your lawn and garden because there could be some clues hiding in plain sight toward your roof needing a quick repair.
