Every season brings challenges for protecting your land, your property, and your business, but the summer heat and humidity can cause damage to your roof in a variety of ways. It is so important to ensure you are practicing high quality and preventative roof maintenance to ensure your roof is not falling victim to the ever-changing summer weather because the health of your room is paramount to the health of your building. At ABR Construction in Nicholasville, Kentucky, we want to offer you a few tips to maintain your commercial roof this summer as well as the confidence in knowing that you can trust our professional and dedicated team to perform this room maintenance for you.

Tips for High-Quality Summer Roof Maintenance

1. Take a visual assessment of your roof.

As with any business-improvement project, you will not know what scope of work or protection is needed on your roof until you look at the roof itself. If it is safe, look at your roof and check for any missing shingles, debris, as well as mold, moss, or algae. Summer in Kentucky can often mean rain and humidity, and those elements can encourage mold growth. If not addressed properly, mold and algae can damage your roof and gutters in the long term.

2. Remove any debris or tree leaves.

While you are taking your assessment of your roof, take this opportunity to remove any debris or tree leaves that have fallen. Debris and leaves from low-hanging branches can clog and damage your gutters. Again, please only complete this if it is safe for you and your team. When in doubt, our team at ABR Construction would be happy to come out and take a look at your roof.

3. Check your attic, if applicable.

Many people do not know that attics can heat to nearly 150 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer months from heat that radiates through the roof. If your building has an attic, look for signs of moisture, leaks, or extreme heat to see if your attic is in good condition.

4. Clean up and replace loose gutters.

As mentioned, debris and loose leaves can damage your gutters, leaving them clogged and nonfunctional. If you notice poor water filtration, a new increase in insects around your gutters, or sagging gutters, this could be a sign that they need to be cleaned or maybe even replaced. If you are not comfortable cleaning your gutters yourself, please call a professional!
