Essential Roof Maintenance Tips for Texas Homes
1. Regular Inspections (Twice a Year)
✔ Check for missing, cracked, or curling shingles
✔ Look for rust on metal roofs
✔ Inspect flashing around chimneys and vents
2. Clean Gutters Frequently
Clogged gutters cause water to pool, leading to leaks and rot.
3. Trim Overhanging Branches
Prevents damage from falling limbs and reduces debris buildup.
4. Check for Moss & Algae
Common in humid areas—clean with a 50/50 water & bleach solution.
5. Schedule Professional Inspections
A licensed roofing contractor can spot hidden damage before it worsens.
