Metal roofing advice for 2022

pgtech • December 30, 2021

As we roll into 2022, folks are starting to plan out what’s to come – and for many – that includes home improvement projects. If you own a metal roof, today’s blog is for you. Today, we’re going to discuss some of the things you might want to consider for your roof in 2022 and ponder a few things to grapple with in the new year. Let’s jump right in!

Investing in a roof inspection

Metal roofs are built tough and made to last, but that doesn’t mean they come without any maintenance headaches whatsoever. There’s never NOT a good time to get your roof inspected as you’ll be able to identify any potential problem areas before they become outright issues. While this will cost you a little bit out of pocket, it will save you a boat load when compared to the idea of having to deal with a significant structural issue. Getting your roof inspected at least once a year is always a good place to start. 

Keeping your roof clean

Keeping your roof clean is really important – especially if the roof isn’t made out of metal. Detritus, leaves and branches can build up, causing water to pool up and even depending on where you’re living in the world – freeze and cause ice damage. In addition, it’s important to clean out your gutters. Gutters help with your roof’s overall capacity to handle water drainage, so making sure they’re clean and unobstructed at least once a year is generally a great investment to make. 

Invest in repairs and metal roof accessories early

If you do identify an issue, try to get it repaired as soon as possible. The longer you let issues linger, the more likely they are to become significant money pits. When you catch these issues early, this can help mitigate damage and hopefully save you a substantial chunk of change. While some issues might seem minor, you’d be surprised at how quickly something like a leak can become a major structural issue. 

Hopefully these tips give you some ideas on a few of the things that you can consider for your roof in 2022. If you need help or guidance – or need a place to purchase new metal roof accessories, give us a call today and we’ll be happy to help you. Until then – good luck and happy new year!
