This comprehensive guide will help you tackle your spring cleaning like a pro, ensuring your house is in top shape for the sunny days ahead.

Start from the Top: Roof and Gutters 

Begin your spring-cleaning journey by doing a thorough inspection of your roof and gutters. It’s essential to look for damaged metal panels, clogged gutters, and any signs of wear and tear that may have developed during the winter months. Fully functioning gutters are essential for directing rainwater away from your home’s foundation, helping prevent potential water damage and costly repairs. ABC provides an array of exceptional products to refresh your roof and make it both aesthetically appealing and extremely durable. We suggest the Slimline® panel, previously known as the SL-16®, which is known for being low maintenance. Additionally, the LokSeam® has become a fan favorite for its longevity as it helps prevent snow damage when properly designed and installed and has a contemporary look, making it a great choice for homeowners who want both functionality and style.  

While many primarily focus on cleaning the interior of their homes during the Spring, it’s crucial not to overlook your home’s first line of defense: the roof! While traditional shingles remain a popular choice, it’s worth noting that metal roofing panels can offer up to three times the lifespan of a shingled roof. Their unmatched durability makes them a smart investment for those looking to improve longevity and minimize future maintenance costs. 

»Pro Tip: For initial ground-level inspections, consider using binoculars to check for any potential roofing issues before bringing out your ladder.  

Check Those Tree Limbs 

Spring is the time when trees begin to bud again and regain their foliage, which also means that now is the perfect time to inspect for any damaged or overgrown limbs that could spell trouble for your roof – in particular, branches that are just a little too close for comfort. Trim back any limbs that pose a risk of falling or scratching your roof.  

As we embrace the renewal and growth that Spring signifies, we can’t forget that also means unwelcome guests like moss and mold can run rampant if not controlled. These nuisances can damage your roof and siding, leading to reduced energy efficiency and higher utility bills. If you spot this plant or fungus, consult with a professional as soon as possible and consider replacing it with a metal panel for easier upkeep. Our expert team can guide you through the process and provide suggestions tailored to meet your needs.  
     

Consider the Environment
