You mow the grass. You paint the house. You place caulk and wood sealant around the door and window frames to keep the drafts out. You do all the normal home maintenance to keep your house looking good and structurally sound for years to come.

Unfortunately, the one thing that most homeowners forget about is the roof. The roof is the most important structure of your house besides the foundation and the walls. It takes the brunt force of all the Lexington, Kentucky, weather every year. Without the proper maintenance, you could spend thousand of dollars in completely replacing your ruined roof.

Preventative roof maintenance helps to detect the potential problems in your roof so that the proper repairs can be made before the problems get any worse. This preventive maintenance should be performed at least twice a year with a thorough inspection done along those areas that wear down quickly.
