Maintaining your roof and gutters will prolong the life of your roof and will help retain the value of your home. In time, leaves and debris gathered on your roof will decompose and cause your roofing material (even metal) to deteriorate. This will result in roof leaks, wood rot and possibly mold. Routine maintenance will help to prevent any of that from happening.
Your gutter system is designed to divert rainwater away from your house. If this system is not functioning properly due to a clog or other types of damage, water may stray from your roof; opening up the possibility of water damage to your wood trimming, siding and other areas of your home including the basement. Routine maintenance on your roof and gutters will help to prevent any of these potential problems. Check out these before and after pictures of some work Pat did that addressed these issues.
