Tips for the Do-It-Yourselfer: Roofing Repairs

Nombach Home Exteriors has experts with years of experience in roofing, particularly roofing projects in the area around Chicago, Illinois.

When starting a roof repair, it’s important to understand what the problem is and what’s causing it, and the best way to repair it. From there, you need to be sure you perform your repairs with safety at the forefront: working on roofs can be very dangerous! Typically, the roofs on most homes are sloped and covered in shingles. This can make for a steep and slippery workspace. When working on your roof, be sure first that the conditions are safe. You should not start a roofing project if it’s raining or the roof has ice or snow built up on it. If conditions are good, make sure you have a friend ready to help with your project. When you’re working up on your roof, be sure to wear shoes that have rubber soles so you don’t slip off a sloped roof. To be extra safe, you might want to consider using a harness to prevent falling and ending up in the hospital.

Basic roofing projects for the do-it-yourselfer involve making repairs to shingles and dealing with clogged gutters. If you notice that some of your shingles are loose, you can secure them again using roofing cement. Be sure that the areas around the loose shingle are still watertight to prevent future leaks. While fixing loose shingles, take the time to check others- chances are, if you find one shingle loose, there are probably others, since they’ve gone through the same weathering and aging. Clogged gutters are no strangers to homes in and around Chicago. The area we live in is filled with beautiful trees just waiting to clog our gutters in the autumn months. When cleaning your gutters, be sure to be safe on your ladder: have a friend around to help out and don’t stretch too far to reach more areas. If you frequently find yourself cleaning your gutters, it may be a good time to call Nombach and have gutter guards installed. Gutter guards protect your gutters from getting clogged while still functioning properly. If you take the time to maintain your roof, you can prevent costly, more extensive repairs.
