A roof replacement is a big deal! Nobody wants to be surprised with a costly bill for a roof replacement. These tips can help you not feel blindsided by the replacement.
Annual Roof Inspections
By committing to a roof inspection once a year, you’re doing yourself a big favor! Each year, you may have to replace a couple of shingles or patch a small hole. When we find these issues quickly, the cost to repair is typically lower. If you let these repairs pile up over a couple of years, you’ll be looking at a larger investment into your roof.
Additionally, getting an inspector up on your roof each year will help you know what is happening up there. Inspectors are able to look at your shingles and know approximately how much time they have left. When you work alongside your inspector, you can start to plan for the future by knowing when you’ll be looking at a full roof replacement.
Yard Maintenance
Keeping up with the maintenance around your yard will help your roof last longer. Cleaning out the gutters and trimming trees that hang over the roof is a great place to start. Also, make sure to head out into the yard and take a look at your roof after a storm. Not all damage can be seen from the ground, but if you’re able to spot missing shingles or debris on your roof it’s a good time to schedule an inspection.
Do Your Research
There are many different choices that go into picking a new roof. Doing research beforehand and learning about the different kinds of roofing materials or insulations will help you be prepared to have these conversations with your roofing team.
