Barnett Roofing

Your roof is the most protective component of your home. It’s important to maintain it. Unfortunately, many things can cause damage to your roof. Debris can cause serious damage to your roof. In this short read, one of the trusted roofing contractors Barnett Roofing discusses how debris can cause damage to your roof.

Here are some debris that you have to keep off your roof:

1. Tree Branches

Torn tree branches can cause damage to your roof during strong winds. They can bruise shingles and damage the protective membrane of your roof. Wood chips, leaves and other parts of the tree can also do the same. Nearby healthy trees can also cause damage. They may not tear off branches but they can be bent and scratch your roof. Friction caused by strong winds can remove your shingles. Even your siding can also be affected.

 2. Building Components

After a storm, some building components from other houses can hit your roof. You may be worried about plants, trees and rocks but they are usually better at withstanding windstorms. Shutters, nails or glass can break off and damage your roof. These things are very damaging once they’re forced on high airspeeds. Your home can even contribute to this debris. It’s best to make sure that the exterior components of your home are in their best condition. Contact a trusted roof repair contractor to check on your roof before and after a storm.

3. Hail

Hail is a major problem for your roof. Strong hail storms are very damaging not just to your roof but to your whole property. It can bruise and even puncture holes in your shingles. This may cause further damage and can shorten the lifespan of your roof. For hail-damaged roofs, it’s important to contact your roofing contractor for inspection and possible replacement.
