Chances are you don’t give your roof much thought—or won’t until something goes wrong with it. But you should, at least, if you don’t want something to go wrong with it. Regular roof maintenance will prolong the life of your roof and reduce the chances of leaks, damage, and more.
At One Man & A Toolbox, we’re happy to handle your roof’s maintenance for you, but thought we’d give you just a few—or five—reasons to call us. Here are five key facts stressing the importance of roof maintenance:
Roof Maintenance Decreases Your Liability
A roof is like most other facets of your home. If you leave it unmaintained, you will run into issues that can be harmful not only to your house but your personal safety. Even worse, your homeowner’s insurance may deny your claim if it is found that you deliberately ignored minor roofing issues in the past. The potential of small issues compounding to extreme problems over time is remarkably high.
Roof Maintenance Saves You Money
Keeping with the theme of regular maintenance, having your roof inspected frequently will save you a lot of money in the long run. Major roofing issues, particularly leaks, can run your tab up into the thousands.
If you give your roof the attention it needs, you can ensure it will last for potentially decades and make your bank account breathe a sigh of relief.
Roof Maintenance is Non-Invasive
We have all had that handyman come in and pull out the noisiest equipment attached to his utility belt. One of the benefits of roof maintenance is that it is, in fact, very non-invasive. This is great news for you and your neighbors, as you will be able to go through your day undisturbed.
On the flip side of the coin, once water damage has been done to your home, the process becomes more complex and invasive. This is yet another reason why regular maintenance is essential.
Roof Maintenance Extends Your Roof’s Lifespan
As we touched on a bit earlier, roofs are built to last a long time. Maintaining your roof will save you the hassle and expense of having to replace it earlier than expected.
Full roof replacements are obviously a disruptive and time-consuming process. Professional maintenance is the only way to ensure you get the most out of your current roof.
Roof Maintenance Prevents Leaks
Finally, leaks are the most common issue that we see with roofs. Your roof will naturally experience wear and tear as it is exposed to the elements. If you only take one thing from this article, it should be to prevent leaks at all costs. Leaks not only damage your roof but the entire infrastructure of your home.
