Roof Repair and Replacement Tips

HOME ROOF REPAIR AND ROOF MAINTENANCE TIPS
To minimize roof-related issues, professional roofing contractors recommend you inspect your roof components at least once per year. Examine roof covering (shingles, tile, metal, etc.) to assure its integrity. Is the flashing working and preventing water seepage? Is your roof’s drainage system designed well and free of debris so it carries water away from your home effectively? Look in your attic area for warped rafters, water damage, or other signs of trouble. Find "Homeowner Approved" roofing contractors in Charlotte to assist with roof repairs and roof replacement.

ROOF MAINTENANCE TIP - KEEP WATER OFF OF YOUR ROOF
In order to maintain your roof clean leaves, small branches, and other debris from gutters, downspouts, and downspout extensions at least twice per year to assure water is properly moved from your roof and away from your home. Look for sagging gutters or otherwise damaged drain components and repair or replace them as needed to keep the drainage system functioning properly.

MAJOR ROOF REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT TIP - BUYER BEWARE
Once you’ve decided to get a new roof, be very selective. There are many companies that offer roofing services; however, not all of these companies are created equally. Since your roof is one of the main barriers between nature and your family’s safety, we recommend thorough research for this project. We strongly recommend that you review the Contractor Selection Tips and follow them carefully.

ROOF REPAIR TIP - QUALITY MATERIALS ARE ESSENTIAL
Request and compare at least two “apples-to-apples” roofing quotes, then select the roofing company that offers the best combination of quality and price. With a roof, don’t be too cheap; it’s better to pay more for brand name materials and quality workmanship. In the long run, you’ll save money, and have fewer headaches from water damage and its associated repair costs.

ROOF TIP - PROPER VENTILATION WILL EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR ROOF
One of the most critical factors in roof durability is ventilation. Without it, heat and moisture cause rafters and sheathing to rot, shingles to buckle, and insulation to lose effectiveness. Attic ventilation also increases roofing material life, reduces energy consumption, and enhances the comfort level of rooms below the attic.

ROOF TIP - INSULATION IS ALSO KEY
Insulation plays a key role in proper attic ventilation. An ideal attic has a gap-free layer of insulation on the attic floor to protect the house below from heat gain or loss, and a vapor retarder under the insulation and next to the ceiling to stop moisture from rising into the attic. It’s also important to have enough open, vented spaces to allow air to pass freely, with at least one inch of space between the insulation and the roof sheathing.
