Routine and thorough inspections are important to keep a roof in good working order.

Here are some tips to help identify and fix issues before they become bigger problems:

• Scan the roof for missing, loosened or damaged shingles as well as cracked caulk or
  rust spots on flashing.
• Check the chimney for damage, such as broken bricks or cracked mortar.
• Clear gutters and downspouts. Collections of debris can cause blockages, which often leads to structural problems.
• Trim tree branches that hang too closely to (or directly above) the roof.

It’s also an important time to calculate your overall cost of debt for more affordable options.
