As with the human body, a property too needs every one of its elements in good working condition in order to be at its performing best. Maintenance of a roof is one of the most essential requirements to keep a property – be it residential or commercial, in prime condition over its lifespan. At Hynes Construction, we have dedicated over 40 years to understanding roofs and the problems that come about when they don’t get properly maintained. Here are 5 reasons why you need to get your roof examined and maintained by experts, at least once every year.
1. Extend your roof’s life
Think of your roof maintenance like an annual health check-up. You can resolve issues before they develop into severely damaging problems that can cut short your roof’s lifespan.
2. Ensure the comfort and safety of your family
Your roof is a critical barrier between the force of the elements and the comfort of your family. The smallest of cracks and tears can disrupt the temperature balance between the world outside and your haven inside, besides exposing your family to the threat of pests, insects and unpleasant weather conditions. With regular maintenance, your family can continue to thrive in comfort without any unwanted occurrences.
3. Maintain your property’s integrity
A sound roof protects everything that comes under its spread. By this, we don’t just mean the assets within the spaces of your home or workplace but even the structural elements that support your home or business all through the year and beyond. A well-maintained roof that’s not compromised, will not pass on any extra load or impact the stability of other supporting structural elements like beams, rafters, walls and so on.
4. Save on heavy maintenance
Early detection also saves you from the liability of heavy expenditure. After all, when you identify and nip problems in the bud – like ice dams that have started to develop on your roof or shingles that have begun to loosen, crack or warp, you prevent them from developing into problems that call for costly repairs or even more expensive roof replacement ahead of time.
5. Protect your property’s value
A home or business with a structurally and aesthetically well-maintained roof enjoys a good curb appeal. This will increase the probability of things swinging in your favour, when you decide to put your property up for sale.
Keeping your roof in good condition with regular annual maintenance is a decision that will benefit you in the long run.
