After Your New Roof: First-Year Care in NH

· New Hampshire exteriors

A new roof is mostly set-and-forget — but a few first-year checks catch nail pops, drainage issues, and attic surprises early.

Normal first months

  • Light granule grit in gutters from new shingles
  • Slight odor from asphalt in hot weather (temporary)
  • Settling noises as the house expands and contracts

Worth a call

  • Active interior drip
  • Loose ridge cap or visible lifted tabs
  • Gutters overflowing because of pitch or blockage from tear-off debris
  • Soft spots you did not have before

Seasonal habit

Clear gutters in fall, glance at attic stains in spring, and keep our number for warranty questions.
