Neglecting Your Roof Isn't Wise

When was the last time you did anything for your roof? Despite it being one of the most integral parts of our home, many of us neglect our roofs, letting the recommended roof lifespan of 20 years pass without so much as even checking if it needs any updating. If this rings true to you, you should consider taking a look at your roof and seeing if it needs to be repaired or restored.

IDENTIFYING A POTENTIAL ROOF ISSUE

If you aren’t already in the habit of regular roof inspections, that is a good place to start. Many potential issues with your roof are avoidable, but issues accumulate over time if you don’t catch and repair them. For example, small amounts of water damage or leaks are very manageable, but if you don’t catch them right away, they might turn into a condition so severe that you can’t manage it on your own. When inspecting your roof, here are some of the things to look out for:

1. A damp attic after heavy rain, indicating that water got in because the roof is compromised in some way
2. Blistering paint in your attic, indicating that there is a problem with the ventilation
3. Cracked, broken, or missing shingles can lead to excessive leaks
   

CALLING A ROOF RESTORATION OR REPAIR PROFESSIONAL

A licensed and insured roofer will be able to look at your roof and determine the necessary steps in order to maintain the integrity of your home’s first line of defense against severe weather. Each roof restoration is different: Sometimes roofs need to be fully replaced and other times they just need a few repairs. Here are the steps a professional will take while looking at and working on your roof:

1.  INSPECTION

The professional will do both a visual and a tool-based inspection. This is how they will determine the extent of work that needs to be done on your roof.

3.  REPAIR

This is when the actual restoration takes place. Trouble areas will be focused on and reinforced accordingly.

2.  PREPARATION

If your roof needs to be restored, proper preparations like cleaning and clearing the roof of debris will be taken to get the roof in the right condition for an effective repair process.

4.  PROTECTION

Many professional roofers will add some additional reinforcements to the roof after restoration is complete to ensure that it is strong and will not need repairs for the foreseeable future.
