The life of your roof depends on a few factors. It depends on the materials used for your roofing, the elements, existing damage, and whether you regularly schedule for roof inspections, maintenance, and repairs. However, if you don’t regularly schedule for inspections and repairs or arrange for roof installation when you need it, it can pose several problems for you and your home. Let’s take a look at why roof inspections, repairs, and total replacement are important.
Roof Inspections
Ideally, you should have two roof inspections per year. You need to schedule one before you incur rough weather and one afterward to make sure your roof doesn’t have any damage. It can be tempting to visually inspect your roof on your own. However, some damage isn’t visible from ground level. It’s dangerous to walk around on your roof. Mold, leaves, and other types of debris or substances can make your roof slippery.
Roof Repairs
There are times when the wind can cause shingles to come loose. The elements can otherwise damage your roof as well. If it’s not handled promptly, you may have to replace portions of your decking or seek roof installation altogether. Prompt roof repairs can help to extend the life of your roof and avoid more costly repairs down the road.
New Roof
If you need a new roof, it’s better to do so promptly. You might be able to get tax credits on your roof or take advantage of other programs. It’s well worth it to check into both of these options. A new roof will help to protect you and your loved ones from leaks. Leaks in a home can cause water damage and mold issues. Both of these problems can happen within a short amount of time.
