Regular maintenance contributes to the longevity of residential roofing systems. If you take proper care of your roof, you can avoid several issues, including cracking, fading, curling and granule loss. It helps ensure your roof is always ready to defend your home against harsh weather and the elements.
Your attic needs good airflow to stay at moderate temperatures. There should be a ridge vent at the roof’s peak and intake vents near the eaves. Roofing components will deteriorate faster if the area gets too hot and humid. A professional roof inspection will help determine if you need to improve your attic ventilation.
Residential and commercial roofing systems require regular cleaning to prevent damage and last long. Leaves, twigs, seeds and other debris on your roof can retain moisture and heat, potentially causing issues and premature failure. Professional cleaning and trimming trees around your property help will help keep your roof clean.
Scheduling professional roof inspections helps detect small issues before they become serious problems. You could deal with costly repairs if you fail to do so. Moreover, routine checks will also give you an idea about when a roof replacement is necessary.
If your contractor tells you your roof needs repair, don’t delay it. It’s never a good idea to ignore warnings from professionals. The longer you wait to address roofing issues, the worse they will become. Being proactive is vital to a long-lasting asphalt shingle roofing system.
