Everyday care you can handle safely
For many small tasks, a homeowner can keep a roof in good shape without climbing up. Clear debris from gutters, check for obvious shingle lift after a storm, and replace damaged vent boots only if you’re comfortable on a ladder with proper shoes. In Augusta, keeping leaves and pine needles out of the rain runoff reduces the chance of clogs that cause water backup near the fascia.
During mild weather, inspect the edge of the roof from the ground using binoculars or a good zoom camera. Look for curling, missing shingles, or flashing that looks loose. If you notice any of these, it’s a good time to call a roofer for a closer look. Do not attempt to lift shingles or walk on wet roofs, which can cause more damage or injuries.
