See any shingles blown off during the winter? Are any shingles scoured or de-granulated? When the grain gets stripped off shingles, the sun\u2019s UV radiation can penetrate them easier and cause them to crack and warp.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Be mindful of any mold, fungi or other growths.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Avoid using a power washer, which can strip grains off the shingles, making them more susceptible to UV damage. Spray on a moss remover, instead, and then find and replace any obviously damaged shingles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check your gutters and spouts.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With safety as your watchword, scoop out leaves, twigs, bird droppings, and debris out of your gutters. Wear heavy gloves, so you don\u2019t get cut or poked. If storms loosened gutters, tighten them, and tighten any metal roof bolts as well, in preparation for summer thunderstorm season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inspect your vents and soffits.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Remove spiders, nests, wasps, and other accumulated debris.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Look at the flashing around your skylight and chimney.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These metal strips can get loosened by harsh winter weather and make the roofing structure less stable and resistant to decay.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Should you \u201cDIY\u201d or call a roofing contractor?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As the saying goes, caution is the better part of valor. Make sure that you&#8217;re doing the right projects &#8212; and doing them safely &#8212; before you finalize your \u201cDIY\u201d maintenance process.<\/p>\n<p>Connect with the team here at Century Roof and Solar to design a cost effective spring <a title=\"Bay Area roofing repair\" href=\"http:\/\/centuryrooftile.com\/contact.php\">roof repair and maintenance<\/a> strategy.
