Taking good care of your roof is important, especially before cooler weather arrives. And if you live in Connecticut, then you know very well how fast the chilly temperatures can creep up on you. So while the weather is still nice outside, take some time over the weekend to get started on your fall maintenance checklist:

First things first - you’ll want to call your roofing contractor for an annual inspection. Hiring a professional for the job can put your mind at ease, knowing that your roof will be well taken care of! When your contractor arrives at your house, here are a few things they will be on the lookout for:

Cracks or rust on roof flashing - Luckily these are not difficult to replace.
Broken (or curling) shingles  - Curling shingles can be repaired, however, broken shingles require replacement.
Worn out rubber boots around your vent pipes - Usually this can be a fast and easy fix.
Signs of moss or lichen - Moss killers can be applied.

While you’re better off leaving the tricky work to the professionals, there are still a few things you can do to keep your roof protected during fall and winter. For example, if you find pieces of asphalt roof tiles in your gutters, you can grab a ladder, a pair of gloves, and scoop it all out. However, if you’re a little uncomfortable with heights, give us a call!
