A little-known fact that the roofing industry might not want you to know is that anywhere from 50 to 80% of all roof replacements are done prematurely. That not only means that the average roof replacement costs homeowners money they don’t need to spend; it means that landfills are being filled unnecessarily. So if you are considering a roof replacement, you might want to know Roof Saver’s secret: you might just need a roof tune-up. What is it, and why might it be a better choice?
What is a Roof Tune-Up?
If you asked a car owner what a car tune-up is, they would likely know. Not many homeowners, however, know what a roof tune-up is and why they need one. The goal of a roof tune-up is the same for a roof as a tune-up is for a car. It prevents excessive wear and tear and the expense of costly breakdowns. If you treat your roof right, it will treat your home the same.
What are the Steps to a Roof Tune-Up?
Like most things in life, prevention is always better than fixing what’s broken. A roof tune-up will extend the life of your roof in many ways.
Roof Wash
Most homeowners know that pressure washing is not safe for roofs, but they also don’t understand the importance of regular roof washing. Soft washing is a method that is safe for roofs; it takes care of built-up algae, mold, and mildew so that they don’t sit on the surface of your roof causing damage. It also helps to restore the beauty of your roof to enhance your curbside appeal.
Fixing Small Issues
When you have a roof tune-up, a professional not only inspects your roof for signs of excessive wear and tear and potential damage; they also fix small problems before they can become bigger. A roofing technician will check for things like leaks in your chimney flashing, rotten wood, shingles, and pop-up nails and fix them on the spot. That way, those things that you might not be aware of are handled, not left to fester and get worse.
Gutter Cleaning
A priority that many homeowners forget is to check their gutters to make sure they are performing properly. When your gutters are dirty and become clogged, they can’t move water away from your home. It is also possible that dirt and debris buildup in your gutters can cause fascia and soffit rot and damage to your roof. A roof tune-up ensures your gutters are free-flowing so that you don’t have to worry about them not working as they should.
