3 Things You Can Do To Extend Your Roof’s Lifespan

While your roofing system is designed to last several decades, there is no reason why you shouldn’t extend a little extra effort to ensure that it lasts even longer. The longer you can keep your roof in great condition, the less likely it is that you will need to have it replaced. After all, the average roof repair cost can run you thousands of dollars so it is really in your best interest to follow these three tips from Adams Roofing Professionals, Inc. to make sure your roof will last as long as possible.

Tip #1: Trim Nearby Trees

Trees are great! They add value to your property and provide you with shade, among other things. But, they can also damage your roof and siding if you allow them to grow too close to your home. To prevent punctures and scratches, be sure to regularly trim them. An accumulation of damp leaves on your roof can also cause your shingles to rot so be sure to clear those away as well.

Tip #2: Do Not Delay Action

It is normal for small issues to appear on your roof from time to time since they are exposed to the elements 24/7. If you notice even the smallest bit of damage such as loose shingles or cracks in your soffit and fascia, be sure to act on it quickly or you might end up with a severely leaking roof.

Tip #3: Schedule Regular Roof Inspections

This is probably the best thing you can do to extend your roof’s lifespan. A good rule of thumb is to have your roof inspected by a professional at least twice a year. Remember, prevention is the best cure and an experienced roofer can spot potential problems and take early action to ensure that they do not turn into major headaches later on.

I wanted to let you know about an experience I had with one of your employees. I live at 1200 Knottingham Court in Kingsport Estates and apparently, your company is servicing our condo association. My building has had a leak in the entryway for several months and Eddie was dispatched out to have me show him the source of the leak inside. I met him on Friday, September 21st and just wanted to tell you how impressed I was with his friendliness and professionalism. He immediately found the source of the leak and even went up on the roof to show me. He assured me that someone would take care of it as soon as possible and told me he would give the report priority to avoid any further damage. As someone who used to be in Customer Service, I always value a company that hires people that are not only skilled at their trade, but also skilled at interacting with people. Eddie is a great example of that and I wanted you to know so you could tell him what a great job he does! I am so glad that Alma Management chose Adams Roofing to be our roofing contractor!...

Charlie, Thanks very much for replacing the gutter! No one has been out to do it, at least before I left for work this morning. But I will definitely let you know whether it’s done correctly. I am very satisfied with your roofing job. It looks great, and more importantly, there were no leaks when it rained (even though we haven’t gotten really hard rains yet). So, I have been very pleased with my experience with Adams, especially with the professionalism and responsiveness of you and Dan. Thanks.... [more]

I wanted to take a moment to comment on your technician, Eddie. Eddie was assigned to inspect a roof leak I am having in my home in Cobblestone Circle. He was prompt, professional, courteous and informative; everything a customer could ask for when inviting a contractor into their home. Eddie represents Adams Roofing Well; and clearly he is an asset to your company. Kudos to him! Thank you.... [more]
