Benefits of Regular Roof Maintenance

In general, regular roof maintenance tailored to the specific materials of your roof can help you avoid the risk of:

• An unwanted appearance
• High utility costs due to bad insulation

How Often Should I Have My Roof Inspected?

The National Roofing Contractors Association recommends bi-annual self-checks of your roof, as well as annual inspections by a professional roofing contractor. Roofing inspections and maintenance are best completed both before and after the season with the most severe weather, which, in Texas, is summertime.

Roof maintenance steps include:

• Checking the condition of shingles and replacing any old or damaged shingles
• Checking for signs of fungus or algae build up that might pose a threat to the integrity of the roof and the health of your family
• Checking the condition of the flashing and cleaning/resealing as needed
• Sealing any cracks in the mortar or caulking

Although roof maintenance can be done by anyone, it’s highly recommended that you seek an experienced roofer to get the job done. This can protect from major damage and repairs in the future.
