Take a Look at your Roof Today

Take a look at your roof today
At least twice a year, walk around the perimeter of your home and look at your roof. Check for any missing, loose, or damaged shingles/tiles. Look for open seams, blisters, or bald spots on flat roofs. If you have them, clean gutters, strainers and downspouts, and make sure downspouts and overflows from coolers are directed away from the foundation. Check the attic for any evidence of leaks. Note the flashing around all surface projections, sidewalls and protrusions. Trim tree limbs and vegetation away from the roof. Check fascia and soffits for deterioration and damage. Remember your mother used to tell you "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

If you can't see, or can't get up on the roof, call Mary Maxie in Phoenix for a recommdation of a home inspector or roofer to do this for you.
