WHY SEASONAL ROOF MAINTENANCE WILL SAVE YOU THOUSANDS

admin  |  February 19, 2019  |   |  No Comments

We tend to overlook the importance of a roof. It’s above us every day and we rarely even think about it. Not to mention the fact that a good roof is necessary if you want to have a happy home. In almost every house we’ve been in, when the roof is well-maintained and it’s just above the family at the right height, everyone in the house is always happy.

The exterior of your home, just like any other piece in your home, has an important role to play. It is able to guard your family against harsh environmental conditions such as rain, snow, wind, sun, and hail. That also means that every day your roof is exposed to weather hazards and other conditions that eventually lead to deterioration and damage.

The biggest cause of roof problems is usually poor maintenance. Since this is one of the largest parts of your house, it requires constant inspections, repair, and maintenance. Particularly if you are in an area with extreme weather conditions. As one of the most vulnerable parts of your house, the lifespan of your roof can shorten dramatically if it’s neglected. However, with proper maintenance and care, the life of your roof can go close to 30 years and more.

You might still be wondering why roof maintenance is important when it comes to your roof.

MAIN REASONS WHY MAINTAINING YOUR ROOF IS IMPORTANT

  1. It increases the lifespan of your roof

The weather outside is quite extreme. That’s actually one of the reasons why we wear sunscreen every time we take a walk outside. Now imagine having to experience the harsh weather all day and night? That’s what your roof has to go through all its life.

Maintenance will help lengthen the life of your roof. There are two different ways you can maintain your roof: replacement or repair. This will help minimize future costs or unexpected injuries.

So, how often should you get your roof maintained or inspected? This will depend on a number of factors including; weather conditions, the age of the roof, any problem that might have been identified among other factors. Even when you have a new roof, it’s always a good idea to have it inspected at least once after every few years.

  1. If you haven’t realized it by now, the warranty won’t protect you

Warranty will always give you a sense of protection. However, you need to remember that even if your roof came with a warranty, that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be repaired without question.

Your warranty is just like any other legal document. It’s limited to a certain pair of rules. When you are dealing with warranty, don’t forget that there are certain factors at stake. More importantly, not all warranties are the same.

What’s more, if the installation wasn’t done properly, then these warranties can be voided. Or even if the accident was caused by a simple roof-top installation of a satellite dish. Most roofing companies will insist on the fact that you should get a roofing inspection after every few years. If you are not able to show that your roof has been maintained, then you might run into trouble if you want to make a claim on your warranty.

  1. Maintenance eventually saves you money

I know you are probably wondering how spending money on maintaining your roof will eventually save you money. Well, if your roof has an accidental leak, you might have to spend an extra buck just to get it fixed. Are you really going to keep shopping for the best price while your roof is actually leaking on your table?

You will obviously go for the quickest and fastest solution. And like any other business, most companies will capitalize on your urgency and your pocket might end up suffering. However, most companies don’t charge extra for maintenance and regular inspections.

From driving to the location, equipment used for the repairs, materials to the time spent on the repairs, all these will be billed on you in case of an emergency. You might end up staying at home just to inspect most of these services. Meaning you are bound to miss work and important appointments.

If you add all that up, in the long run, you will end up spending more. On the other hand, regular maintenance cuts all these costs in half.

  1. The roof might have hidden problems

As a homeowner, it’s impossible to realize your roof has any damage until it starts to leak. And by this time, the problem is bigger than what you might imagine. When water infiltrates your home, it enters the attic and eventually damages your wood framing, insulation and even cause mold to appear.

The worst part is that gravity might make it hard to notice exactly where the origin of the leak is. Regular maintenance will help locate the problem even before it begins to appear in your home.

  1. Finally, it gives you peace of mind

Knowing that your roof is in perfect condition gives you a sense of peace. You don’t have to worry about occasional leaks associated with poor roof maintenance. Even in extreme weather, you will always be happy to know that your family is under a well-maintained roof.

This will give you control and it will let you focus on other things.
