The roof is that structure in a house or commercial building which is exposed to maximum stress and strain year after year. It experiences the maximum exposure to natural elements and also has to take the full brunt of the changes in weather and external environmental conditions. It is usually the least looked after structure within the house.

We all realize that a good quality roof is simply vital for any house. Not only will the roof protect the house or out-building but it will also protect everything within the house. Your roof will face many weather elements over its lifetime to ensure that you are getting all you can out of your home’s roof.
Yearly inspection of your roof can be worth the trouble because it can help increase your roof’s lifespan. The National Roofing Contractors Association recommends checking your roof twice a year, in the fall and spring. This can be done by the homeowner of course, or hire a professional from RDM Construction.
Do I need to fix or replace related roof framing or other structures?
A new roof installation or roofing repair project, of course, is bigger than the roof itself. Water-damaged fascia and soffit areas should be repaired now. Because they aren’t accessible when the roof is on, if you repair them later, it can damage the roof and cost three to four times as much. Damaged or improperly installed flashing should be replaced to prevent water damage. Wall flashing is the biggest source of leaks. Deteriorated siding may also need replacement to securely tie in your new roof, and you may want to replace your chimney cap.
Can maintaining my home’s roof yearly help extend the roofs lifespan?
Yes – by maintaining your roof properly and catching problems when they are minor could absolutely help increase your roof’s lifespan. The National Roofing Contractors Association recommends checking your roof twice a year, in the fall and spring.
Here are some suggested yearly tasks you should perform on your building’s roof:
- Look for any loose material or cracks in the flashing at the base of chimneys, skylights and vents.
- Clean your gutters to prevent debris from accumulating on your roof.
- Trim back tree branches so they don’t touch your roof. They can scrape against shingles and wear them out prematurely.
- Replace any missing or torn shingles and secure any loose shingles.
- Clean any moss or algae.
- Clear any debris from the roof. In addition to being unsightly, it can cause water to sit on your roof and speed up deterioration.
