Like everything with the city, you likely have something going on with your home. There’s always something to look into, update, or repair.

How Often Should You Inspect Your Roof
A good rule of thumb is to inspect your roof professionally once a year. Whether you decide to have it checked when you have your gutters cleaned or have it reviewed as a stand-alone service, it is up to you.
But why should you have your roof inspected once a year? Minor issues can develop over the course of the year. These issues are often complex, if not impossible, to spot from the ground, especially if you are not familiar with what to look for. Singles might be loose, some might have become waterlogged, others might have developed moss growth, and issues with flashing around chimneys can also happen.
These are all minor problems that won’t cause immediate issues with your home. However, if left untreated, the problems may spread causing more severe issues. Shingles may begin pulling up from the roof, exposing the sunroof to moisture and outdoor critters. Flashing can start to pull away from the siding of your home, which can also put unwanted pressure on the various parts of your home. These small issues can go from minor matters to costly and extensive repairs.
What Causes General Roof Damage?
Natural elements typically cause damage to your roof. Strong winds damage your roof, as they can reduce the shingles’ bond with the roof underneath. Hail is especially damaging as well. These might cause small impact craters on the roof, allowing moisture to pool in. Once this starts, the water might seep under the shingles into the roof and eat away at the wood underneath. Mold can also develop from this.
Even prolonged sunlight on your roof can become a problem. There is a reason houses out West use clay tiles for roofs. Clay handles sunlight and heat well and can expand and contract without much of an issue. Asphalt shingles, though, may begin to crack and split due to prolonged sun exposure. All of these can lead to damage to your roof.
In order to avoid more significant problems, it is necessary to have the minor damage repaired following an annual inspection.
During your annual inspection, we can inspect other elements of your home. From gutter and siding repair and replacement to the installation of new windows, Macaw Construction Services LLC provides home services for all our needs.
