Your roof is meant to protect you and your family against the weather while protecting your home from the natural elements. But to ensure your roof’s effectiveness, it must be inspected and maintained regularly by trusted professionals. But how does this save you more money in the long run? Roofing and siding contractor Shine Construction Inc. explains how this works:
Roof Inspections And Their Benefits
A typical roofing warranty covers most or part of the expenses for more extreme damage such as that from a recent storm. However, this is only valid if your roof has been inspected and maintained according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. This is to ensure that your roof was maintained properly before it was severely damaged by natural causes. As part of your roof’s warranty, you’re required to have it inspected at least once or twice a year. If you don’t repair even the minor damage on your roof during maintenance and inspection, you’ll risk voiding your warranty.
When a professional in roofing and window replacement does the inspection, they’ll know what to look for. Any minor problems they spot will be addressed immediately before they become more serious and costly to repair. You’ll also save more money in the process!
What Happens During a Roof Inspection?
During a professional roof inspection, your hired contractor will check your roof for any signs of damage, such as loose and missing shingles. They’ll make sure to repair any sign of damage properly such as racked/split shingles or raised nail heads that indicate that they were lifted by high winds. They’ll also replace any missing shingles to bring your roof back into shape!
They’ll also check the flashing and gutters of your roof in case they show signs of damage. Flashing is found around vents, chimneys and where two slopes of the roof meet. They’re meant to divert the water runoff properly and prevent leaks, but they can sometimes get dented by hail or other natural elements. Gutters should also be kept clean to prevent clogging, which can cause the water to pool and become too strained and heavy.
