Why do I need to maintain my roof?

Roofs all need maintenance just like a car. Small isolate problems can cause your roof to have a shorter life span. Regular inspections can add to the life of your roof. Problems left undetected or ignored will over time cause extensive and expensive repairs or even replacement. Gutters need to be cleaned out at least twice a year. Caulking all windows, doors and other openings yearly is also a key part of maintenance.

All roof systems are susceptible to deterioration brought on by chemical and physical stresses that represent the normal aging process. As this deterioration occurs, small isolated problems such as leaks and loose shingles can not only accelerate the aging process, but also create a situation where your roof will fail. If left undetected, these small problems can escalate over time until the damage is more extensive, and expensive to correct.
