Your roof is one of the most expensive parts to your home. Replacing your roof would depend greatly on what type of roofing material you decide to go with, but the cost could be in the tens of thousands, most likely requiring you to get financing.
With this in mind, you definitely want to make sure that you get as much out of your roof as possible, and that, in turn, requires maintenance and care.
Water pooling up on your roof is one of the major culprits to roof damage. You might experience rot, mold, moss or rust if your roof doesn’t drain well. To stop this from happening, you need to make sure that rain water flows off your roof well, which depends greatly on your gutters and downspouts being clear. Since it usually rains more in the fall, and your roof will get more debris from falling leaves, you should check your gutters to make sure there isn’t a buildup that will block the waterflow.
