Regular roof maintenance helps prevent and identify issues before they become bigger and more expensive to fix. Friendly crews from Harvard Roofing & Sheet Metal remove debris and meticulously check for, and fix, missing, curling, loose or damaged shingles. We also check vents, ridge caps, stacks, flashing, and soffits and fascia for damage and leaks. Moss retains water and if left growing on a roof can lift and damage shingles. We have the professional equipment to safely remove and kill roof moss and spores. Blocked gutters can also cause a lot of damage to a roof and surrounding area. We clean gutters to make sure they’re running freely.

In winter months, snow removal becomes an important maintenance issue. This is of the utmost importance for property managers. Any accumulation of snow above 10” on low-slope or flat roofs can cause drains to ice over and become blocked. Once this happens, flat roofs become swimming pools with huge, excessive weight bearing down on the structure. To prevent damage, drains are opened and cleaned and tributaries are shoveled in the snow to allow water to flow to the drains.
