When well maintained, a high quality Salisbury Roofing job can last as long as thirty years. In fact, most people are lucky to have never had to have roof repairs in their lifetimes. This can only happen when the roof is well maintained, though. If you are a new homeowner, you might be in trouble if you do not follow the following basic rules of thumb for roof maintenance;
Inspection
The first step in solving a problem is finding it, and in the case of the roof, early enough before it causes too much damage to the house. Make sure to inspect the roof regularly, looking out for different signs during different seasons. For instance, in the fall, look out for the damage caused by ice damming. It is also advisable to inspect the roof after heavy storms or strong winds.
The gutters
They might seem unrelated, even insignificant, but they contribute to the likelihood of early roof repair. If the gutters and downspouts are not cleaned, especially in the seasons where trees shed their leaves, then there is no runoff from the roof. The accumulation of dirt and debris on the roof will likely cause undue damage. To be sure, look for qualified experts like the Ibarra Moon Contractors to do the cleaning and clearing for your home.
Sometimes, it is just a simple matter of walking around the house looking for signs of damage, like broken shingles on the ground or trees hanging too close to the roof causing direct damage. The thing about the roof is that most of the time the damage is often unanticipated and catches the homeowner by surprise. Do not wait until you see the roof leaking or until it is too old to take action.
Professional inspection
Even with constant inspection and maintenance, there are some things only a trained and experienced eye can see. Considering the potential losses, it probably will not cost too much in the long run. Go for a local company that understands the local risk factors and will be available for a follow up even after the job is done.
