Roof Maintenance Tips for North Texas Homeowners
Simple habits that help your roof last longer through Texas heat, hail and wind, and catch small problems before they become big ones.
Seasonal roof checklist
Spring (storm season)
Check for hail and wind damage after every storm. Clean gutters and downspouts. Book an inspection if you see dented gutters or loose shingles.
Summer
Make sure attic vents aren't blocked. Excess attic heat shortens shingle life and raises cooling bills.
Fall
Clear leaves from gutters and valleys. Trim branches that hang over the roof before winter winds.
Winter
Look for ceiling stains after rain or ice. Check flashing around chimneys, vents and skylights.
Do's and don'ts
Do
Keep gutters clear, trim trees, look at your roof from the ground after storms, and schedule a yearly inspection.
Don't
Pressure wash shingles, walk on the roof in hot weather or when wet, or put off small leaks. Small repairs are far cheaper than water damage.
When to call a roofer
- Missing, cracked or curling shingles
- Lots of granules in the gutters
- Water stains on ceilings or in the attic
- Sagging roof lines
- Your roof is 15 years old or more

Roof maintenance FAQ
How often should I have my roof inspected?
Once a year, and after any major hail or wind storm. Spring and fall are good times to schedule.
Is it safe to pressure wash my roof?
No. Pressure washing strips the protective granules from shingles and can void your warranty. Use a gentle cleaner made for roofs, or call a professional.
Do trees really damage roofs?
Yes. Branches scrape off granules and can fall in storms, and leaves trap moisture. Keep limbs trimmed at least 6 to 10 feet from the roof.
How do I know if my attic ventilation is good?
Signs of poor ventilation include a very hot attic, frost or moisture on the underside of the decking, and shingles that curl early. We check ventilation during every inspection.
