What can I expect from my roof maintenance?

Every house needs attention and maintenance to look fresh and pleasant. Some parts of the house are more visible than others and are easier to care for and maintain. However, some house areas, such as the roof, need constant attention even if we do not see them daily.

It's easy to know when a garden, a pool, and even a moldy wall needs maintenance. With a simple glance, we can identify these elements' conditions. Still, the areas that we don't see frequently are often the ones that need more maintenance to function. 

Roof maintenance consists of an exhaustive review of the roof through an expert group to check its actual condition to spot problems and avoid significant issues. 

Although you may think that roof maintenance should be done every once in a while, the truth is that it's necessary, and you should do it at least twice a year.

All roofs need maintenance, as they are permanently exposed to the sun, rain, winds and tend to suffer damage over time. When you ask for roof maintenance, the roof examiner should:

• Check the pipes: pipes are often the main reason for roof leaks and water cans.

• Remove debris from the roof and gutters: including leaves, branches, and trash that can collect in downspouts and create moisture and mold.

• Search for animal presence: the attic and roof are often the ideal home for some animals, which can damage the structure, destroy electrical wiring, and pose a risk to the house's inhabitants.

• Inspect shingles and gutters: The inspector should ensure that all shingles are firmly attached, thus avoiding accumulations of water and other unwanted debris and damage from falling. It's also necessary to ensure that all gutters are correctly installed and not obstructed.

The best way to ensure that your roof is in optimal condition is to do constant maintenance. Performing maintenance twice a year will bring significant benefits to your life:

• You will avoid expensive repairs in the future.

• It will extend the roof's lifetime. 

• It will increase the value of your property in the market.

• It will give you peace of mind and security.
