How often do I need roof maintenance?

Your roof is one of the most important structures of your house as it works as a shelter that protects you and your family. Usually, it's one of the house structures that suffer the most due to its perpetual exposure to the sun, rain, and other natural phenomena.

When we see an old wall or damaged furniture, we know that it is time for maintenance. The problem with ceilings is that we do not see their surface daily, so it is easy to forget that this area needs as much maintenance as any other. Doing frequent checking and maintenance is essential to keep the house's roof optimal and ensure its safety.

Now, we know the importance of taking care of our roof, but how often is it necessary to maintain it?

At Perry Roofing, we recommend doing roof maintenance at least twice a year. This is an inexpensive way to find and fix minor problems early to avoid costly repairs in the future. In addition, by maintaining roofs two times per year, homeowners can ensure that their property is safe and in the best possible condition.

It is also advisable to schedule a roof inspection after unfavorable weather events such as storms, heavy snow, and blizzards because these events often cause premature roof decay.

A roofing expert will make sure to check the tiles, flashings, and gutters; and will provide you with a detailed report on the conditions and the improvement needed.

Homeowners can help with roof maintenance by alerting specific elements: loose tiles, blackened areas, leaks, etc. However, doing roof maintenance can be extremely dangerous for people without the proper training. That's why an expert group should always carry out a roof inspection to guarantee the best result.

A roof in good condition will provide you shelter and security. Additionally, it can help to increase the value of your property. Doing regular roof inspections and maintenance can significantly improve your lifestyle and avoid costly problems and repairs.
