Roofing Services: What You Need to Know – Part 1: What Are the Different Roofing Services?
It is one thing to get your roof designed and installed correctly, and another to maintain its condition and integrity. Aside from ensuring installation quality, you should also learn about other roofing services that are meant to help keep a roof in good condition throughout its lifetime. Read on to learn about these roofing services and their importance.
Roof Inspection
Every roof job must begin with a thorough and careful roof inspection. After all, how would you know what you actually need to have done unless you take the time to check what’s actually wrong with the roof?
The primary purpose of inspection is to recognize the signs that could indicate problems with your roofing, which may be caused by anything from a hole in the roofing material to loose flashing. It’s important to understand that even the smallest issue can grow and cause bigger and more expensive problems. With a comprehensive roof inspection, potential problems can be quickly identified and a solution can be planned accordingly.
Roof Repair
If roofing problems are found during an inspection, the roofer will evaluate the severity of the issues. If the problems can be remedied by simple repairs, we would encourage that you get them done right away.
Immediate repairs performed on minor to moderate damage will prevent issues from growing and expanding. The extent of the repair work will depend on the severity of the problem.
Roof Replacement
If roof inspection and repair have been put aside for a long time, it is possible that the old, damaged roof can no longer be repaired. In such cases, a replacement may be the only feasible solution. Replacement involves changing out the entire roof structure for a new one.
