Composition shingle roofs are a popular choice for many homeowners due to their affordability and durability. However, like any roofing material, composition shingles require regular maintenance to keep them in good condition. Follow these tips to ensure that your composition shingle roof stays in top shape:

Clean your gutters regularly. Clogged gutters can cause water to pool on your roof, leading to damage and leaks. Make sure to remove any debris, such as leaves or twigs, from your gutters on a regular basis.
Inspect your roof regularly. Look for any missing, damaged, or curled shingles, as well as any signs of water damage, such as stains or discoloration. If you notice any issues, call Cornerstone Roofing as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

Remove debris from your roof. Debris, such as branches or leaves, can build up on your roof and cause damage. It's a good idea to remove any debris that accumulates on your roof on a regular basis.

Hire a professional for repairs or replacements. While it's possible to do some basic maintenance tasks on your own, more extensive repairs or replacements should be handled by a professional. A roofing contractor, such as Cornerstone Roofing, will have the knowledge and experience to ensure that the job is done properly.

Use a quality underlayment. A roofing underlayment is a layer of material that is installed between the roof deck and the shingles. It provides an extra layer of protection against water and can help extend the life of your roof. Using a quality synthetic underlayment such as Tiger Paw from GAF will ensure your roof deck stays protected.
