From intense summer heat to winter storms, maintaining your roof’s integrity is crucial for protecting your investment. KNA Roofing understands the unique challenges faced by both residential and commercial property owners in our vibrant borough.

Regular roof inspections are vital for preventing costly repairs. Here are key indicators that suggest it’s time to schedule a professional assessment of your roofing system:
• Curling or missing shingles
• Water stains on interior ceilings
• Granules collecting in gutters

Year-Round Maintenance Tips
Maintaining your roof doesn’t have to be complicated. Following these essential practices can help extend your roof’s lifespan:
1. Clear debris regularly, especially after storms

Commercial Roofing Considerations
Brooklyn’s commercial property owners face unique challenges when it comes to roof maintenance.
