Here are some suggestions that can help maintain the longevity of your new roof:

• Have any tree branches hanging over the roof cut back to eliminate the potential for wildlife getting onto the roof and causing damage. This will also help eliminate the potential for tree damage to the roof.

• Any leaves or branches settling in valleys and behind skylights and vents should be cleared and removed.

• Remove excessive amounts of snow from roof to avoid ice dams.

• Keep your gutters clean and maintained.

There is in fact a benefit to selecting a lighter shingle color! Lighter shingle colors don’t absorb as much sunlight as darker shingles, which will help make your shingles last longer and will help to keep a roof a little cooler during the hot New England summers!
