It’s that time of year in New England! The Red Sox are about to open up the season, patios will begin to open, and Spring time will be here in full force soon enough. While Spring is a time to start new every year, its also a popular time for Spring cleaning around your house. This year, don\u2019t forget Spring cleaning when it comes to your roof as well!<\/p>\n

Gutters<\/h2>\n

As we covered in the past on the Rhode Island Slate Roofing blog, it\u2019s important to declutter your gutters a couple times of year. If you don\u2019t do this, the weight will begin to drag on your roof and damage your shingles. With the recent high wind storms across the region, your gutters could be particularly weighed down this year. Take the time to clean them out completely.<\/p>\n

This follows up with the previous step on the Spring cleaning checklist. In the last couple months, we have had wind storms with winds up to 50-MPH. Take some to inspect the perimeter of your property. See if there are any tree limbs getting too close to your house that weren\u2019t there last year. Take care of them as soon as possible. The last thing any homeowner wants to deal with is a tree damage to their roof.<\/p>\n

Roof & Attic Inspections<\/h2>\n

On our blog we have gone over the ways to properly inspect your roof and attic after storms and any major weather-related events. You should do this periodically through the year regardless of if there have been any recent storms or not. Spring cleaning time is the perfect opportunity to do this. Go inside your attic and inspect for damage. Get a ladder and check your roof for loose shingles, flashing, cracks, or holes.<\/p>\n
