When it comes to protecting your Fresno home, your roof is your first line of defense against heat, storms, and everything in between. At Preferred Roofing Fresno, we’ve been helping homeowners in Fresno and Clovis keep their roofs in top shape for over 30 years. Here are the top 5 maintenance tips every homeowner in the Central Valley should follow to extend the life of their roof and avoid costly repairs down the road.
1. Schedule Regular Roof Inspections (At Least Once a Year)
The Central Valley heat can wear down roofing materials over time. We recommend scheduling a professional roof inspection every 12 months, especially before the rainy season. At Preferred Roofing Fresno, we offer free roofing estimates and affordable inspections to catch issues early—like cracked shingles, lifted flashing, or clogged gutters.
2. Clean Gutters and Downspouts
Fresno gets its fair share of wind and dust. Leaves and debris often clog gutters, leading to water damage and even roof rot. Cleaning your gutters at least twice a year (spring and fall) helps keep water flowing away from your home, protecting your foundation and roofing system.
3. Trim Nearby Trees
Overhanging branches are a serious risk to your roof—especially during windy storms. Falling limbs or constant rubbing can damage shingles and lead to costly repairs. Make sure to trim back trees regularly to avoid unnecessary wear and tear.
4. Check for Damaged or Missing Shingles
After any heavy wind or storm, inspect your roof from the ground or have a professional check it out. Missing shingles or granule loss can lead to leaks that may not show up until it’s too late. We offer high-quality replacements with products from GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed, backed by warranties up to 50 years.
5. Don’t Delay Repairs
Fresno summers can be brutal on your roofing system, and small issues can quickly turn into major damage if left unchecked. Whether it’s a minor leak or storm damage, getting it fixed ASAP can save you thousands in the long run.
