Hawaii’s rainy season takes its toll on even the newest roofs, and if you’re not prepared, this rainy season could lead to serious roof damage and expensive repair bills. Hawaii’s tropical climate calls for quality roofing services from a trusted contractor, and no one offers better roof coating, maintenance, and repairs than Rainbow Roof Maintenance. Located in Honolulu, they offer these tips to help Oahu residents make it through the rainy seasons with their roofs intact.

• Inspect Your Roof: Before the rainy season starts, take the time to inspect the condition of your roof. Dig out your ladder and look for things like loose or missing shingles and damaged flashing. Once you do an exterior inspection, head inside and take note of any water damage that could be a sign of a roof leak. Call a professional roofer to resolve these problems before heavy rains turn those minor issues into costly catastrophes.
• Clean Out Your Gutters: If your gutters are clogged, rainwater will have nowhere to go. Water will get backed up and flow onto your roof. This can cause serious damage to both your shingles and the supportive beams underneath. You’ll have the same problem if your gutters are broken or not properly attached.

  

• Trim Back Trees: Hawaii’s rainy season is always wet, but it’s also windy. Those high winds can rip up shingles, and they can also send large pieces of debris flying onto your roof. The best way to prevent storm damage is to be as prepared as possible. Remove overhanging branches, and inspect your trees for dead or dying limbs.

Unlike other home improvement projects, roof maintenance is dangerous and requires professional equipment and attention. Give your roof the best chance of making it through the rainy season by taking advantage of the quality roofing services offered by Rainbow Roof Maintenance.
