ROOF MAINTENANCE
A cedar roof is a natural product and as such does require periodic maintenance. Care should be taken to observe the following :
1.) Keep the valleys clean of leaves and debris. This applies to any roofing system but is especially important in cedar roofs. When debris accumulates in the valley it retains the moisture and eventually will allow the cedar to decay and rot.
2.) Keep the gutters and downspouts clean and free of debris to prevent back ups and prevent ice damming.
3.) Trim back the branches of near by trees to prevent them from scrapping and brushing against the roof.
4.) In heavily shaded areas insure that the moss and fungus is not allowed to accumulate on the cedar. This moss build up allows the cedar to retain moisture and leads to decay
5.) Working on any roof can be hazardous and requires special tooling, skills and experience. Cedar Roof Design is a full service company that you may call upon to deal with any roofing concern including things as simple as routine maintenance and inspections.
