It is a great idea to always get your roof checked and, if needed, a tuneup. This is the case even with the best roofs. A roof tuneup will make sure your roof lasts.
So what is a Roof Tuneup?
A roof tuneup is a series of preventative inspections and tasks that can be performed by a roofing specialist. These specialists will check your roof for common issues and address them before they become a major problem. Some of the things a roofing company inspects, includes:
- Loose, missing, or damaged shingles
- Loose flashing
- Leaks
- Growth of mold or algae
- Debris
- Checking the chimney seal
- Sealing pipe collars
- Looking at all penetrations
- Caulking
- Check gutters
Roof Tuneup Benefits
The primary goals of a tuneup is to keep your home protected, and to extend the life of your roof. However, there are additional benefits that can come from a tuneup. Some additional benefits include:
- Increase energy efficiency – If sealing is required, there is less areas for heating and cooling to escape
- A newer looking roof – buildup, debris, and algae can make even the newest roofs look old
- Fewer unexpected repairs – Potential issues can be discovered before they create real problems
Roof Tuneup Frequency
How often should you give your roof a tuneup? The answer isn’t straightforward and there are many factors in play. If you live in an area that is hit with intense weather conditions, you may need tuneups more often. However, it is good to get your roof checked every 3 years or so.
