Charlotte’s best
roofer talks about maintaining a wood shingle roof
If you want your beautiful wood shingle or shake roof to
last, then you must keep it maintained.
There are a few maintenance tasks which are recommended by the experts
at Charlotte’s premier roofing company.
These include regularly clearing gutters of debris and trimming or
removing branches hanging close to the roof.
It is also a good idea to regularly clean molds, lichen and moss from
wood shingles using a solution of chlorine bleach and water or another
commercial roof cleaning solvent.
Wood roofs come in two types: shingle and shake. Both are durable and resistance to insect,
but both also require treatment to last for 30 years or more. If not protected, a wood roof can begin to
decay or deteriorate. If you build and install a new roof or completely replace
your roof with wood shingles, ensure you keep a bundle of the shingles for
future repairs. The best roofer in the
Charlotte and Concord NC area, Advanced Roofing and Exteriors can recommend
several treatments options.
