ROOF MAINTENANCE FOR A SCOTTSDALE HOME

WE SERVE SCOTTSDALE, PHOENIX, FOUNTAIN HILLS, GLENDALE, QUEEN CREEK, TEMPE, and TUCSON

Roof maintenance refers to the regular inspection and upkeep of a residential or commercial roofing system to ensure it remains in good condition and continues to function correctly. This process can help extend the roof's lifespan and prevent costly repairs or replacements.

Regular inspections are essential to roof maintenance. They include checking the roof visually for signs of wear and tear, such as missing or damaged shingles, cracked or missing flashing, and leaks. Any issues identified during the inspection should be fixed immediately.

Regular maintenance also involves:

  • Cleaning the roof to prevent clogging and water damage

  • Applying coatings and sealants for UV protection

  • Maintaining roof equipment, such as HVAC units and solar panels

While homeowners can complete some simple tasks, they should leave roof maintenance to professional roofing contractors. These professionals will spot issues a non-specialist may miss and repair them efficiently to avoid further damage.

Benefits of Regular Roof Maintenance

  • Prevent leaks, drafts, and other exterior problems:

    Regular roof maintenance primarily aims to keep the roof functional. A properly maintained roof is less likely to leak or experience any exterior problems that can jeopardize the safety of the residents, the home's structure, and the roof's longevity.

  • Stay aware of potential issues and fix them before they become major:

    Regular professional inspection and maintenance will help identify the roof's weak points before they become problems that will wreak havoc on the roofing system. This way, the contractor can repair the roof while the damage is minimal.

  • Prevent expensive repairs in the future:

    By nipping roof issues in the bud, homeowners will avoid paying for more costly repairs down the road. In the worst-case scenario, the roof will require complete replacement if it's left unattended and minor issues are allowed to escalate.

  • Maintain appearance:

    Even the most durable roofing systems will show signs of wear and tear after exposure to UV rays and adverse weather conditions. However, regularly cleaning, patching, and sealing the roof will make it look almost as good as when it was first installed.

Tips for keeping a roof in good shape

  • Perform a thorough inspection every spring and fall. Look for wind and rain damage in the spring, such as loose shingles, punctures, rotting soffits, or leaky gutters. In the fall, look for wind damage, loose shingles, and flashing that may need to be resealed.

  • Keep the roof clean. Fallen leaves, branches, and pine needles are very acidic and can damage shingles or tiles. If debris gathers on the roof, try to sweep it off within a week or so.

  • Keep gutters clean. Gutters clogged with debris can fill with water that can seep up under the roof and cause damage. Consider installing a gutter protection system to keep debris out.
