Replacing your roof can cost you quite a bit of money. Of course, there are differences depending on the type of material you decide to use, but 100 square feet could cost you between 250 and 700 dollars. This would mean that if your roof is average size, you would end up with a cost of over 20,000 dollars! Looking at that number is enough to motivate anyone to want to take good care of their roof.
So what can you do to make sure that your roof lasts as long as possible? There are quite a few, simple things, that you, as a homeowner, can do on a regular basis. They don’t have to take a lot of time, so keeping them on your maintenance schedule is definitely worthwhile.
Keeping water from sitting on your roof is one of the most important things to do, since it can cause rust, mold growth and other damaging conditions. This means keeping branches and leaves off of it. You should also cut back any branches that grow over your roof, since they could fall on it and damage it.
