Roof Maintenance

Here at TN Residential Roofing and Construction we are passionate about providing the best roofing services available in the Nashville, Brentwood, and Franklin area.

Roof maintenance takes place in both the interior and exterior areas of your home. Here are a few tips on how to maintain the integrity of your roof!

Outdoors:

  • Trim back overgrown vegetation.
  • Remove crinkled caulking & roofing cement; then reapply.
  • Clean off all debris from roof and gutters; hose down.
  • Check flashing (metal areas) for warps and holes. Secure it to siding or other surface and reapply roofing cement. 
  • Apply roofing cement under loose asphalt shingles to secure them.

Indoors:

  • Check vents & make sure they are clear of obstructions. What does this have to do with your roof? Without them, both heat & moisture will build up in your attic causing damage to your roof and support beams. 
  • Install attic insulation to prevent icing.
  • Install additional vents to prevent the formation of icicles. Remember: You should have one square foot each of intake and exhaust ventilation for each 300 sq. foot of attic space. 
  • Inspect your ceiling & dry wall from the baseboards up. If you see or feel moisture and/or discolored paint, your roof could have a leak.

If you suspect any damage or leaks to your roof, call TN Residential Roofing and Construction immediately at 615-542-9863. The longer you wait, the more substantial the damage will be!
