Minnesota Roofing Maintenance

Roof maintenance is a smart decision for any Minnesota family. The reason is simple – when that snow, ice, rain and hail hit, you do not want to be left out in the cold. Brigley Roofing specializes in all types of roofing maintenance jobs from simple shingle replacement to complete roofing restoration. No job is too big or too small. When it comes to roof maintenance, it is important to understand the following things:

Understanding the Roof System Components

There are a number of different components when it comes to your roof. In some instances your entire roof will need replacing or repairing while other times only one or two components may need general maintenance. It is best to understand the different roofing system components to know what to expect from your MN roofing job:

  • Roof covering: shingles, tile, slate or metal and underlay that protect the sheathing from weather. Often when we discuss roof maintenance, it has to do with the roof coverings which are most prone to daily wear and tear and deterioration from the weather.
  • Sheathing: boards or sheet material that are fastened to roof rafters to cover a house or building.
  • Roof structure: rafters and trusses constructed to support the sheathing.
  • Flashing: sheet metal or other material installed into a roof system’s various structures to prevent water seeping. These are often found around chimneys, vents, skylights, etc.
  • Drainage: a roof system’s design features, such as shape, slope and layout that affect its ability to shed water. Drainage can also refer to the gutters and sidings of your roofing system.

Tips For Minnesota Roofing

Get an inspection done every year. This can be done by a qualified contactor such as Brigley Roofing. An inspection can provide you with the peace of mind that your roof does not need any maintenance and will be okay for another year. Consider getting an inspection done either in fall or spring.

Clean out the gutters. Once or twice a year, you should also give your gutters a good clean out. This will stop them from filling up with water, leaves and other debris that may cause them to be blocked. Furthermore, inspect your gutters for any problems that could occur from hail, snow or ice.

Remove trees and leaves. Trees can cause problems to your roofing system because they can scrape at the shingles. Furthermore, leaves can fall onto the roof, causing an excess of water and leading to problems with algae and mould. To avoid these problems, consider cutting down any branches or trees that fall directly on your roof. This could save you in maintenance fees every year.
