Your shingle roof is one of the most important parts of your home. It keeps you safe from the elements and protects everything inside. But like any part of your home, it needs care and attention to stay in good shape. Here are some essential tips from Roof Repair by Lindus to help you take care of your asphalt roof shingles and keep them in great shape.

Regular Inspections
The best way to keep your roof in good condition is by having a roofing contractor inspect it each year. They have the expertise to identify missing shingles, rusting flashing or clogged gutters. Catching these issues early can save you money by preventing bigger problems.
Address Roof Leaks Right Away
If you have a leaky roof, don’t wait to fix it. Even a minor leaking roof can lead to water damage, mold, and bigger structural issues if left unchecked. Emergency roof repairs can include professional tarping to protect your home’s interior.

DIY vs. Professional Repair
Many homeowners can handle small roof repairs such as replacing a shingle. Larger roof leaks are best left to expert roofers that can determine the full extent of the repair. Many times, when homeowners DIY larger repairs, they cause more harm than good. Reputable roofers also have the proper equipment to complete the repair in a safe manner.
Emergency Roof Repair
Hail and fallen tree branches can cause sudden damage to your roof. Knowing how to handle these situations is key. It is wise to have a list of local trusted roofers that you can call when you need an emergency roof repair. Steer clear of out of area contractors that list a PO box as their company address. These roofers can dupe homeowners out of insurance money and fail to complete the work.

Quality Materials

This becomes even more important in the Twin Cities and Western Wisconsin. Our temperature fluctuations can wreak havoc on builder grade roofing materials.
