When Was The Last Time You Cleaned Your Roof?

Have you cleaned your roof recently? Did you know that you should get it cleaned on a regular basis? A roof that hasn't been cleaned can have small problems that end up being a bigger problem and require getting a whole new roof. If you can't think of why a roof should be cleaned, Dunrite Roofing would like to share their experience and knowledge why you should clean yours.

Whether you have an investment property that you need to rent or trying to sell your home, a clean roof will make the property look good all over. First impressions are everything and a clean roof will give your prospective buyer or tenant a good first impression. This can often make the difference in a sale by getting the price you want.

The dirt, grim, leaves, limbs and moss that build up over time on a roof will just sit there and rot. That rot sitting there will eventually start affecting the shingles on your roof. By giving your roof a good cleaning yourself or hire a professional, you could probably prolong the life of your roof another 10 years more than the manufacturer warranties.

Gutter Screens Can Help You with Gutter Cleaning

Fairly new to the industry are screens that go with a gutter system and have really proven to be well worth the small cost they afford when they are installed properly. A reliable roofing expert such as Dunrite Roofing can assist you in choosing the right shape, style and type that fits your current gutter system.

The first choice many homeowners go with is a basic screen made of expanded metal mesh screen. This type of gutter screen will guard debris such as leaves, limbs and nuts from clogging your gutter system. For the DYI homeowner, you want to be sure to secure the so falling branches or animals can’t knock them off.

However, if you home is surrounded by trees that drop needles, like pine trees, you should consider gutter screens that are screens designed with small holes. They still keep the debris of leaves, limbs and the pesky needles out while still allowing rain and water to flow through freely.

For the homeowner that wants to harvest rain water, there are gutter screens that combine expanded metal mesh with fine stainless steel mesh, like that used on window screens. These will filter the rain with only the finest of particles getting through, leaving the water for other uses like water gardens.

Gutter screens can make your gutter systems almost maintenance free!
