Protecting Your Roof in South County and Beyond

At Ocean Breeze Property Services, we understand the unique challenges that coastal living can present to your home’s roof. Whether you’re in South Kingstown, Wakefield, Narragansett, North Kingstown, Newport, or East Greenwich, RI, these tips will help you maintain your roof and extend its lifespan.

1. Regular Inspections

Conduct visual inspections of your roof at least twice a year, ideally in spring and fall. Look for:

• Missing or damaged shingles
• Signs of water damage or leaks
• Sagging areas
• Moss or algae growth

2. Clean Gutters and Downspouts

Ensure your gutters and downspouts are free from debris to prevent water backup and potential damage to your roof and home’s foundation.

3. Trim Overhanging Branches

Keep trees trimmed away from your roof to prevent damage from falling branches and reduce the accumulation of leaves and debris.

4. Address Issues Promptly

Don’t delay repairs. Small issues can quickly escalate, leading to more extensive and costly damage. If you notice any problems, contact a professional roofing service immediately.

5. Consider Your Roofing Material

Coastal areas often benefit from materials that can withstand salt air and high winds. Consult with Ocean Breeze Property Services to determine the best roofing options for your specific location.

6. Ventilation is Key

Proper attic ventilation helps regulate temperature and moisture levels, which can extend the life of your roof and improve your home’s energy efficiency.
