Spring is nearly here in Connecticut, and here at Cedar Roof Coatings, we couldn’t be more excited! If you have a cedar shingled roof, you probably know by now that it’s a good idea to regularly check in on it for your safety and peace of mind.
Maintenance Tips From the Experts
After a long, cold winter, it’s time to prepare your roof for the wind and rain that come with spring. Here are a few tips on how to take care of a cedar roof at this time of the year.
1. Check for Any Winter-Related Damage
One of the first things you’ll want to do as the weather warms up is to check your roof for any damage. Winter's elements can have a lasting effect on your property, especially on the roof. Inspect the surface for chipped or missing shingles from strong winds or holes caused by ice dams. You should also look for bowed framing caused by the weight of snow bearing down on your roof’s structure.
You can conduct a quick visual scan of your roof from the ground to check your fascia and eaves. To prevent accidents, never attempt to climb on the surface of your roof. Call the professionals at Cedar Roof Coatings — we have the experience and tools to safely and thoroughly check the surface of your roof and repair any damage.
2. Inspect for Moss Growth
As an organic material, cedar is prime territory for plant growth. If you notice moss growing on your roof, call Cedar Roof Coatings for expert cleaning. Our team uses low-pressure spray to clean roofs and remove any moss, mold, mildew or algae buildup. You can trust our professionals to keep your cedar roof polished and aesthetically pleasing throughout the season.
3. Trim Surrounding Trees
Homes with trees overhanging the roof are especially prone to moss and the risk of falling limbs. Contact a tree trimmer to help you maintain the height and length of the flora surrounding your home.
4. Remove Debris
Following a strong storm, tree branches may appear on the surface of your roof. Keep your roof free from fallen tree limbs and other debris to prevent structural damage and more costly repairs. Get help from a professional cedar roof contractor like Cedar Roof Coatings to assist you with debris removal and ensure your roof's structural integrity.
5. Treat the Roof
Proper maintenance of cedar roofs in spring includes professional roof treatment. At Cedar Roof Coatings, we preserve the roof with TWP 200, a coating that improves resistance to moisture, moss growth and other external elements.
