Your roof does more than just improve the aesthetic of your home. It protects your home from outside weather while helping maintain a comfortable temperature.
As roofs age, they begin to develop problems. They crack, wrap, or develop leaks. To get the most out of your roof, make roof maintenance a priority. A well-maintained roof can help you lower your heating and cooling costs and improve indoor comfort. With a well-maintained roof, you can avoid the costs involved with premature failure or replacement.
Roof maintenance is best left to experts. Roofing experts are trained to diagnose and fix issues that homeowners tend to miss. Your contractor will fix roofing problems before they snowball into significant concerns, helping you save hundreds to thousands of dollars on expensive repairs.
What does professional roof maintenance in Marin County include? Let’s find out.
Checking for Signs of Damage
Before your contractor climbs your roof, they will examine the interior of your property for signs of damage, including drips and leaks, water stains, and peeling paint. If you have heavy equipment on your roof, the professional will inspect the beams and trusses for signs of structural issues such as rot, rust, and cracking.
Checking for Cleanliness
Once your roofing expert is on the rooftop, they will inspect the roof for accumulated dirt and debris. If your drains have become clogged, they will thoroughly clean them and trim overhanging branches, remove dirt & debris, and pressure wash your roof.
Checking the Roof Surface
Your contractor will check the surface of your roof for signs of damage or weathering. They will take careful note of any blistering, abrasions, scratching, or holes in the membrane.
The professional will check your tile or shingle roof for loose, damaged, or missing pieces. If moss or algae is growing on your roof, your roofing expert will clean it with a cleaning solution.
The professional will check the flashings to see if they are pulling away from your roof or leaving gaps. If you have expansion joints, your contractor will inspect them for cuts, tears, and gaps.
Checking Exterior Structural Components
Your roofing contractor will inspect the surfaces of vents, chimneys, skylights, and pipes for signs of aging such as rust, rot, and peeling paint. They will look for structural damage signs such as sagging parts, missing parts, and bent elements.
