3 Maintenance Tips to Keep in MInd in Spring

Spring is the time for cleaning, but how thorough are you for this activity? Your first order of business may be what’s inside your home, but the exteriors require your attention during this springtime task, too. Timberland Exteriors, your expert exterior remodeling contractor, shares three maintenance tips to keep in mind for spring cleaning.

1. Clean the Gutters

Many homeowners forget just how dirty and clogged the gutters can get during autumn and winter. By spring, they can be packed with so much dirt that it’s exerting unnecessary weight on the roof. Older homes are susceptible to excess weight, and it’s not uncommon for a clogged gutter system to loosen shingles or damage the roof edge. Make it a point to check the gutters and get rid of any clogs and blockage.

2. Check for Signs of Hail Damage

Hail damage may seem harmless, but leaving them unaddressed puts your interior at risk of roof leaks. If you recently experienced a bout of hail, check the flashing as these are often the first to get damaged by weather. If your roof has experienced significant hail damage, it’s imperative that you get in touch with your roofing contractor. At Timberland Exteriors, our hail storm damage restoration service will restore your roof’s health so that it keeps you safe year-round.

3. Clean the Roof

The roof should also be a recipient of your spring cleaning touch. Twigs and branches can scratch and leaves absorb water as it rots, causing water damage on the shingles. Make it a point to get rid of leaves, twigs, and branches from the roof to avoid these problems.
