Newly built craftsman-style home with a dark shingle roof

Simple habits help a roof last: keep gutters clear, trim overhanging branches, check for damage after heavy storms and have small issues fixed before they spread.

Keep gutters and drains clear

Clogged gutters can push water back under shingles during heavy rain.

Clear them a few times a year, especially in fall.

Watch the trees

Branches rubbing on the roof wear down shingles. Falling limbs can cause damage in strong wind.

Trim branches back from the roofline.

Check after big storms

After heavy rain or wind, look for missing shingles or new ceiling stains.

Small fixes made early are easier than larger repairs later.
