3 Simple Maintenance Tips to Increase Your Roof’s Life Span

A roof replacement is a major investment, so finding ways to extend your roof’s service life is smart. By hiring a trusted professional to conduct regular roof inspections, you can identify and repair small problems before they cause costly water damage and compromise the integrity of your roofing system. This will improve your roof’s performance and lengthen its service life. Here, Tango and Gotti, the leading roofing company in our area, explains more:

Work With the Right Contractor

Your roof is a complex system and mistakes made by inexperienced or poorly trained contractors while working on it can decrease its lifespan. Find a company that can provide you with excellent workmanship. Read online testimonials, ask for recommendations, and choose companies with at least a decade of experience. Then ask them to perform a quick inspection of your roof at least twice a year.

Look for Warning Signs

As an expert in roof replacement, we recommend simple but regular visual inspections of your roof. Take out your binoculars and look for obvious patches and cracks. Check for torn, cracked, or missing shingles and any damaged or loose material around your vents, chimneys, and pipes. Indoors, check your ceiling for any water spots. If you see any of these signs, call us. We’ll perform the necessary fixes.

Perform Preventative Measures

Trim any overhanging tree limbs that are near your roof. Branches can damage your roof during storms or high winds. Make sure that your attic has suitable insulation and ventilation, which is necessary to prevent water vapor from pooling and damaging the underside of your roof. This also helps you save energy.
