The new year is a time for resolutions, goals, and a fresh start. While a majority of resolutions and goals will revolve around health and fitness, there are plenty of ways that you can create resolutions that prioritize the care of your home. The team at Denali Roofing, located in Fort Collins, may be biased about wanting to encourage homeowners to think about ways that they can better care for their roofing, but trust us — you’ll be so glad that you did! 

In today’s blog post, the team at Denali Roofing is going to go over a few things that you can commit to doing in the new year that will leave your roof looking incredible and, more importantly, will help you maintain it. Let’s dive right in!

Clean Your Gutters

This is something that needs to be done on a regular basis but is incredibly easy to put off. Your gutters, though they may not seem like a direct part of your roof, contribute a significant amount to the well-being of your roof. With routine cleaning, you can ensure that your gutters remain a healthy weight, don’t wind up with any blocks to prevent drainage, and the like. You’ll be glad that you took care of this when you go without any gutter problems for an entire year! 

Take Care of Your Trees

Again, your trees may not seem like a huge deal when focusing on the well-being of your roof, but they too contribute quite a bit. When you have unhealthy trees or branches that are ready to break off close to your roof, the chances of your roof being damaged are incredibly high. Though this is more than likely to happen during a heavy snowfall or wind storm, the last thing that you want is to wish you had prioritized your tree health earlier on. To avoid this from being something that you struggle with, make sure to take care of your trees, and trim them or cut them down when they need it.

Prioritize Any Repairs

As a homeowner, it always feels as if there’s something else that needs to be done on the house. While the last thing that you want to deal with is a major repair that needs to be done sooner than later, you absolutely want to prioritize any repairs that your roof is in need of. It may seem like an unexpected cost or something that’s simply not in your budget currently, but the reality is that you’ll wind up saving a significant amount of money by prioritizing repairs. Whether that means shackles that need to be repaired or leaks that need to be fixed, get it taken care of as soon as you can!

Check Your Sealant

While repairs are something that you do want to get repaired sooner than later, it’s always better if you can prevent a problem from happening. In terms of leaks, your sealant is something that you’re definitely going to want to stay on top of. The caulking and sealant of your roof ensure that moisture doesn’t find its way to the vulnerable parts of your roof. Make sure to inspect the vents and pipes around your roof to ensure caulking isn’t a problem that you need to worry about. If you notice any peeling or cracking, it’s best to get them repaired and taken care of ASAP.

Get Your Routine Maintenance Scheduled

A crucial part of maintaining the well-being of your roof is the routine maintenance that it receives. These routine check-ups make it possible for a professional to find any problems before they become big problems. By prioritizing your routine maintenance, you can save yourself money and enjoy a roof that is prepared to handle everything that the year brings on.
