If you want to maximize the investment in your home’s roof, Emerald Roofing recommends regular roof maintenance in Lincoln, NE. The first step is to perform a comprehensive inspection. That will reveal any issues, which we can then correct through a roof tune-up. A tune-up will extend the life of your roof and help to avoid expensive roofing repairs. It will also tighten your building envelope. That will make the home more comfortable, enhance indoor air quality, and lower heating and cooling costs.
Better Protection With Roof Maintenance
A common question homeowners have is how often they should schedule maintenance. What we recommend is scheduling an inspection at least once a year. You should also schedule after any severe storm, blizzard, or period of high wind that may have damaged the roof. Our team will perform a thorough inspection and assessment. If we find any problems, we can show them to you and explore your options.
A prevalent issue is shingles curling up at the edge of the roof. It’s a much bigger deal than many homeowners realize. It provides the wind with more surface area to drive the shingle up. That allows rain to get in underneath the shingle where it may eventually penetrate the underlayment.
Other shingle issues to watch for include tears, punctures, and balding. You should repair or replace torn shingles as soon as possible. The tear will eventually undermine the shingles above and below the damaged section. Punctures allow for water intrusion. Balding is where a shingle loses its texture or granules either in a spot or all over. Often, it’s an indication of old age, but it can be due to a manufacturing defect or damage, such as from hail.
Keep an eye on your flashing, too. Flashing are the metal pieces covering seams in the roof. Bad flashing can allow substantial water intrusion, which can undermine a roof quickly. Look for pieces that are missing or out of place. Watch for discoloration as well, as it can be a sign that the flashing has started to corrode.
Watch for the signs that you may need roof maintenance:
Rusted flashing
Moss growth
Gutters clogging easily
Balding shingles
Sagging roofline
Torn or curled shingles
Missing shingles or flashing
