Schedule biannual roof evaluations, especially after severe weather, for signs of damage like curling, cracking, or missing shingles. Address small issues early before they escalate into major structural repairs.

Trim overhanging tree branches to prevent scratches and minimize falling leaves and twigs.

Schedule expert roof assessments periodically to catch hidden damage.
