Roof Repair

Roof repair encompasses various tasks to restore the functionality and integrity of a building's roofing system. This includes addressing leaks, damaged or missing shingles, deteriorated flashing, cracks, or sagging areas. The process typically begins with a thorough inspection to identify the extent of the damage and the necessary repairs.

Once the issues are identified, the repair process may involve tasks such as:

Patching or replacing damaged shingles or tiles
Repairing or replacing damaged flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights
Fixing leaks by sealing cracks or holes in the roofing material
Reinforcing or replacing damaged sections of the roof structure
Repairing or replacing damaged gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage

Roof Maintenance

On the other hand, roof maintenance involves proactive measures to prevent damage and prolong the roof's lifespan. This includes regular inspections to check for signs of damage or wear, typically performed biannually or after severe weather events.

Maintenance tasks may include the following:

Cleaning debris such as leaves, branches, and dirt from the roof surface and gutters to prevent water buildup and clogging
Trimming overhanging branches that could potentially damage the roof during storms
Checking and repairing any loose or damaged flashing
Inspecting and repairing caulking or sealant around roof penetrations to prevent leaks
Applying protective coatings or sealants extends the roofing material's life and enhances its resistance to weathering
