How to keep your roof \u201chealthy\u201d and extend its life expectancy with routine maintenance<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nThe New Year brings new projects and new resolutions. Why not let replacing your roof be one of your 2016 resolutions? Some people are organizing their home while others are changing the design completely. Your roof affects the value of your home and your home\u2019s curb appeal. Before you begin a home improvement project, a roof inspection should be performed first. During a typical roof inspection a professional roof consultant will examine your roof, skylights, rooftop units and any parapits. One of the main reasons roofs fail prematurely is due to neglecting the roof and failure to perform routine inspections that can save money in the long run. Doing a self-inspection of your roof once a year is the best way to prevent any problems from appearing or getting worse. A self-inspection should be done regularly to determine if your roofing contractor should come out, these inspections can be done safely from the ground with binoculars.<\/p>\n
Items to look for that need immediate attention from a roofing professional<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Missing or broken shingles
\n\u2022 Any moss or algae growing, this means your shingles are rotting
\n\u2022 Shingles that are curling, buckling and blistering
\n\u2022 Rust spots in you\u2019re flashing or cracked caulk
\n\u2022 Cracked rubber boots and vent pipes
\n\u2022 Damaged chimney cap<\/p>\nIf you notice any of these items during your inspection, it\u2019s a good idea to contact a local roofing professional to perform a more thorough roof inspection. A professional will be able to give you a quote for repairs and roof replacement, perform small repairs immediately and tell you whether or not it\u2019s a better investment to replace your roof or repair it to extend its life span a few more years. More often than not, repairing or replacing your roof is somewhat of an unexpected expense. Putting a lot of money in a roof fund budget each year is not a completely reasonable expectation. However, it may be beneficial to set aside a certain amount each year to help with unknown future expenses or \u201csurprises.\u201d Performing routine inspections will also help to estimate when it may be time to replace your roof so that you can be financially prepared rather than surprised.\u00a0<\/span>–\u00a0Baker Roofing<\/em><\/p>\nInterested in new roofing?\u00a0Contact\u00a0Medina Exteriors<\/a>\u00a0today, (330)591-4040<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
