How do you know what is going on up there unless it is inspected? You don\u2019t need to do this yourself, but rather contact a <a href=\"https:\/\/integrityproroofing.com\/denver\/\">trusted roofing contractor<\/a> to inspect your roof. They are knowledgeable about what to look for and can see any future issues that may arise. Here are some things they will look for:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loose, broken, or curling shingles<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Broken or rusted fasteners<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visible roof leaks on ceilings and walls<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Broken vents<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insulation\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Number of layers on your roof<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gutter Check<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While they are often forgotten, gutters are an important part of your roofing system. They keep water from pooling on your roof and force it away from your siding and foundation. You are able to check the conditions of your gutters by safely climbing on a ladder with the help of a friend. Again, if you are having concerns, ask your <a href=\"https:\/\/integrityproroofing.com\/denver\/gutters\/\">roofer to inspect the gutter system<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clean any debris from the gutters<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check the fasteners for rust\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check for cracks, splits, and broken areas<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check the downspouts\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trim Nearby Trees<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7745 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/integrityproroofing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/storm-1-300x188.jpg\" alt=\"Storm damage, roof repair\" width=\"512\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/integrityproroofing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/storm-1-300x188.jpg 512w, https:\/\/integrityproroofing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/storm-1-480x300.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 512px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overgrown trees can <a href=\"https:\/\/integrityproroofing.com\/denver\/storm-damage-roof-repair\/\">damage your roof during a major storm<\/a>. Secondly, they could rub or scrape on the roofing material and create damage and holes. Needles, leaves, and branches could clog up the gutter system. Hire a professional company to trim back any overhanging branches and trees to prevent future <a href=\"https:\/\/integrityproroofing.com\/denver\/roof-repair\/\">damage to your roof<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remove Debris, Moss, Algae, and Mold<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Critters love to find little holes and raise a family there. Especially in your gutter system! Remove debris that collects on the rooftop to prevent them from living there. If you have shingles, algae, mold, and moss can grow over time. Again, ask about how to remove and have your roof cleaned during the inspection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep Snow and Ice Off the Roof<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Snow and ice buildup can create ice dams which, in turn, will create even more problems with your roofing system. The added weight of snow and ice may be more than the frame of your home can handle. Using a snow rake or heated cables are excellent ways to keep the snow minimal on the roof.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These tips and roof resolutions are simple enough to complete this year.
