Roof/Gutter Inspection

On the first day of Spring and the first day of Fall make a note to do a mini inspection of your roof and gutters.

Walk outside and take a look at your shingles. Are any missing? Discolored? Curled? If you see anything that looks suspicious call a roofer and have them take a peek. A few dollars now might save you a whole roof later. Can’t find a roofer or don’t know who to trust? Go to a roofing supply store and see whom they refer.

Now during the day, take a peek at the gutter from the bottom. Do you see any light between the gutter where it is mounted to the house? If you do, the spike that attach the gutter to the house may need to be replaced. Pull one out and take it to the home supply store and they will be able to help you select the correct product for your project.
