Whether you have a roofing upgrade on your mind or have recently installed a new metal roof, knowing how to care for a metal roof is essential to the diligent homeowner. If you read our blog about the 5 reasons why metal roofs are worth it, you’ll know that this roofing upgrade is costly. However, this material can last over 50 years, which means that you won’t have to worry about replacing it for the rest of your life if you maintain it. How do you take care of your metal roof to keep it looking like new?
The Good News
- Corrosion
- Leaks
- Dents
- Scratches
- Normal wear and tear
Many of these problems are easy to identify even for the amateur eye. Whenever you spot anything suspicious, you should call in a roofing pro from Noble Roofing to assess the damage and fix it quickly.
A Regular Maintenance Schedule
Metal roofs, like any other kind of roof, will fare the best when they are inspected annually or after any significant event like a storm or impacting object.
It’s also important to do surface-level maintenance every year and a half for temperate climates like Northern Virginia. Ask us how we can help do this safely without causing any damage to your roof.
As you know, we’re passionate about gutter maintenance because it directly impacts the health of your roof. You should clean out your gutters every 6 months to avoid costlier damage around the eaves, soffit, and fascia boards.
Check the Sealant
In metal roofs, sealants lock out water, dirt, wind, and other outdoor elements to keep your roof weather-tight. Make sure that your contractors install your metal roof with UV-resistant sealant, which is more durable than standard sealants. If your sealant looks cracked or damaged, it’s time for a replacement to keep your roof in the best shape.
