Your roof is one of your home’s most important defenses against the elements. In Colorado, where weather can go from sunshine to snow in a matter of hours, proper roof maintenance isn’t just helpful, it’s essential.
At Mile High Renovation, we’ve seen how a little maintenance can go a long way in preventing costly repairs and extending a roof’s lifespan. Here are five expert tips to keep your roof in great shape year after year.
