One of the reasons behind the popularity of metal roofs is their low maintenance. This type of roof will really last longer than most other materials against usual wear and tear. But keep in mind that low maintenance doesn’t mean you can neglect your metal roof. As a leader among roofing and door replacement companies, we want to help you maintain your roof the proper way. Here’s how you can properly maintain your metal roof.

Inspecting and Cleaning Your Metal Roof 

Metal roof maintenance is only needed either once a year or every 18 months. When you’re planning to do a maintenance check on your own, one of the first things you should do is to do an inspection. Check for any sign of bumps, scratches and any other kind of visible damage. Just remember that if you really decide to do this by yourself, you must consider your safety above all else, especially if your roof has a steep slope. Don’t attempt to walk over and inspect your roof if it’s wet from melted snow or rain.

Cleaning off dirt and small debris from your metal roof can be done properly, provided you’re extra careful. Remove any leaves and branches from your roof. If there are branches from nearby trees touching your roof, make sure you remove them properly, since they may stain and scratch the paint of your roof. You can do all of this on your own, but as specialists among roofing and window replacement companies, we recommend that you hire our professional services instead. Our team is well-trained in roofing maintenance and safety, especially metal roofs.

Scheduling a Structural Maintenance Check

This is a more thorough inspection of your metal roof. Since it’s more in-depth, a professional roof maintenance expert is typically hired to conduct the inspection. Scheduling this type of maintenance check actually depends on what kind of natural conditions your metal roof is subjected to, but it’s commonly done once every two years. If you think you see something wrong with your metal roof, don’t hesitate to call our services. We can give you a better idea on what your roof’s exact condition is and we’ll be able to fix any issue we find immediately.
