Maintaining Your Worcester County Roof

Like any part of your home, maintaining your roof is essential to extending its life of service and ensuring that your family and possessions are safe from the outside elements.

Here are some tips from Northeast Home & Energy, the leading roofing contractor in Worcester, Eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island:

1. Inspect your roof yearly. Look for missing, cracked or curled shingles and signs of wear.
2. Check flashing to make sure it remains properly sealed.
3. Keep your roof clear of debris, leaves and pine needles.
4. Remove moss and clean mold or mildew.
5. Trim overhanging tree limbs.
6. Keep gutters clean and clear year round.
7. Have your roof inspected by a qualified roofer like Northeast Home & Energy every 3-5 years.
