1. Safety First.
It's not just for kids. Make sure you are familiar with you roofs pitch or steepness. Some roofs require special equipment. Have the proper foot wear, something with a grip. Always be sure the ladder you are using is the correct height. A harness is something to consider if you are working with multiple stories and a high pitch roof. It costs a little extra, but definitely cheaper than a trip to the ER. Never take for granted that you are a distance from the ground. if you are 6' tall it takes less than 12' to do significant damage.
2. The weather.
The weather is an obvious thing to consider when you are planning any work to your roof, but be sure to get specific. Plan the weather down to the hour and allow for incidentals. Take into consideration wind speed in your planning especially if you are going beyond 1 story.
3. Find a Possible Leak.
If you are worried about a possible leak and have enough hose length, spray the roof in the suspected area. You can use plastic sheeting or roofing paper also known as roofing felt to protect the roof once the leak is detected until you can repair it or call a roofer.
4. All about Maintenance.
Once the weather is suitable in your area, once a year there are things you can do to prevent unnecessary costs. Clean all ventilation systems, seal around vents and pipes, paint exposed metals to prevent rust, and of course clean those gutters!
Remember we offer great repair rates and maintenance packages!
