Protect Your Roof, Siding, and Gutters. Spring is here! After cold temperatures, ice, and heavy winds, your home may need some TLC. Seasonal maintenance goes a long way to prevent costly repairs and keep your home looking great. Here’s Union Roofing’s spring home maintenance checklist for roof, siding, and gutters.
1. Roof Inspection & Repair
Winter weather can be tough on roofs. Check for:
✔️ Missing, curling, or cracked shingles
✔️ Leaks and water damage or stains on ceilings
✔️ Loose or damaged flashing around chimneys and ventsTip: If you notice damage to your roof, schedule a professional roof inspection. You should address small issues before they turn into serious problems.
2. Clean & Repair Gutters 🌧️
April showers bring… overflowing gutters if they’re clogged! Keep your gutters and downspouts in top shape by:
✔️ Clearing out leaves, twigs, and debris
✔️ Checking for sagging or detached sections
✔️ Making sure downspouts are directing water away from your home
Tip: Prepare your home further by installing gutter guards, which can reduce maintenance and help prevent future clogs.
3. Refresh Your Home’s Siding
Spring is a great time to inspect and upgrade your siding! Look for:
✔️ Cracks, warping, or mold growth
✔️ Fading or peeling paint
✔️ Loose or missing panels
Tip: If your siding looks worn, consider upgrading to energy-efficient options like fiber cement or vinyl. By improving the insulation around your home, you can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs.
4. Check Your Attic & Ventilation
Proper attic ventilation can prevent damaging moisture buildup and mold growth. Look for:
✔️ Signs of moisture, like musty smells or condensation
✔️ Proper airflow from soffit and ridge vents
✔️ Insulation that is still dry and intactTip: A well-ventilated attic helps reduce cooling costs in the summer!
