Spring is almost here, which means that you may be fantasizing about warmer weather, some tulips blooming, and green grass. Amidst all of the joy of spring, however, there are a few things that you should do to make sure your roof is in good shape after a long winter. But don't worry; you don't have to do it yourself. This article will list three things to talk to your roofer about. Ready to learn more? Read on. 

Rain gutters

One of the best things that your roofing contractor can help you with is cleaning out your rain gutters and making sure that they are in good shape. After fall and winter, you probably have some rain gutters full of leaves, sticks, and debris, which will make them clogged. To make sure that rain water can get out of your rain gutters, you will want to make sure they are as clean as possible. In addition to this, your roofing contractor will also make sure that your rain gutters are attached properly so that they don't blow off during a big spring rainstorm. 

Shingles

If you have an asphalt shingle roof, you should definitely have it inspected by a roofing contractor. Why? Because after an especially brutal winter, some of your shingles may have been damaged or even blown off. When you have your contractor climb on your roof, they will take a closer look at the condition of your shingles and see if they need to be replaced or repaired, or if you are good to go. 

Water Damage

Another thing you should have your roofer do is inspect your roof for water damage. Sometimes, after a long, harsh winter, all of the snow and water can puddle on top of your roof and lead to wood rot and water damage. Your roofer can check for any signs of puddling or any standing water. 

Having your roof spring inspect by a roofing contractor is one of the first things that you should do this spring. By getting ahead of things before they turn into larger problems, you can save yourself a lot of money later on down the line. If you want to learn more about roofing, contact a professional roofing company today, and schedule an appointment with them. Depending on the company, they may charge you a fee to come out to look at it, but it will be worth it.
