Roof maintenance tips for Greensboro homeowners

Your roof is one of the biggest investments you’ll make in your home—and with proper maintenance, it can last for decades. Whether you live in a historic neighborhood near downtown Greensboro or a newer home in Summerfield or Oak Ridge, these roof maintenance tips can help protect your property year-round.

Spring checklist:

• Inspect for missing or lifted shingles after winter winds
• Clean out gutters and downspouts to prevent water backup
• Check for signs of hail or storm damage
• Schedule a professional inspection after major weather events

Summer checklist:

• Trim overhanging trees to prevent limb damage
• Check attic ventilation to reduce heat buildup
• Ensure flashing and seals are watertight before hurricane season

Fall checklist:

• Clear away leaves and debris from roof valleys and gutters
• Look for animal nests or entry points
• Repair any damaged shingles before winter freeze

Winter checklist:

• Watch for ice dams or snow buildup
