Compelling Reasons to Have a Roof Maintenance Plan in Edmonton AB Today

Roof repairs and replacements are always problematic. They cause a huge dent in your budget. The thing is, they always happen during the most inconvenient of times -- when it's just about Thanksgiving, Christmas, or even summer holidays. You can avoid huge roofing repair and replacement expenses by having a roof maintenance plan in the following year.

By having roofers take an in-depth look at your roof, they can fix many small problems that can evolve into bigger ones within years. For example, a small, unnoticeable puncture on your roof sheath can progressively grow in size through the years. If you leave it as it is, it will cause major damages that will cost you much more than the amount you pay regularly for roofing maintenance.

Roofing maintenance is only as effective as the roofers you hire. Therefore, only look for the best and highly reputable Edmonton AB roofing company. In doing so, you guarantee your roof receives the utmost care and attention to every aspect without fail.

What's involved in an average roofing maintenance routine? Puls has a great list that most Edmonton AB roofers use when inspecting roofs on properties.

1. Clean out the gutters on a regular basis.

Your gutters are an integral part of keeping your roof dry. Rain and snow melt sheds from your roof into your gutters where it runs safely to the ground. If your gutters are clogged, water can pool on your roof and cause the roof and fascia to rot.

Clean out your gutters twice a year. Consider adding gutter guards if leaves and debris build up more often.

If you find a lot of loose gravel from asphalt shingles in your gutters, that's a sign of severe wear and it's likely time to replace your roof.



2. Trim your trees to lower the risk of damage.

Large, mature trees create a beautiful backdrop to your property but they can also create a significant threat to your roof. Overhanging limbs can break and fall onto your roof. Falling leaves can build up and trap moisture underneath. Trim overhanging branches to prevent damaged shingles, holes in the roof, and algae build-up.

3. Replace broken or missing shingles.

With age, regular asphalt shingles can wear thin or loosen and fall off. Any gaps in your roofing can allow moisture to build up causing leaks and rotting. Replace worn or missing shingles as soon as possible.

If you've got a metal roof, repair/replace corroded, damaged or loose panels. The same goes for tile roofs where there are loose, missing or damaged tiles.

4. Reseal and caulk around vents and pipes.

Your roof is vulnerable everywhere there's an opening such as chimneys, vents, pipes and skylights. Make sure you seal around these components with caulking or roofing tar to close gaps and reduce moisture infiltration. (Continued)

Roofing maintenance isn't as costly as most think it is. In fact, it can cost just about 20% of the usual roofing repair or replacement service. While you're spending this steady amount yearly, roofers guarantee you can maximize the lifespan and durability of your roof.

You might think that investing in long-term roofing material such as clay tiles, slate tiles, or metal roofing won't need any roofing maintenance. In truth, all roofing materials require them. What changes is the frequency of their maintenance provisions. For example, an asphalt shingle roof will need one or two roofing maintenance visits to ensure they're in top-performing condition.

On the other hand, a standing seam metal roof will need one or an every-two-years visit from roofers for maintenance. True enough, standing seam metal roofs cost more than asphalt shingles initially, but this clearly illustrates why top-quality roofing materials are always paramount to saving on many expenses from repair, replacements, and even maintenance.
