Hail, strong winds, tornadoes, roof problems… these things may be scary to some homeowners, but for those of us in Oklahoma City, these can be a part of an average spring day. Many homeowners don’t notice the negative effects of constant severe weather – at least not until the roof starts leaking.
Your roof makes up almost 50% of your home’s exterior, and it is the single biggest layer of protection your home has against the weather.
That’s why realtors and the experts at Triple Diamond Construction preach the importance of home maintenance. Catching roof problems created by hail and storm damage can save you thousands in costly repairs. Yearly roof inspections make it easy for homeowners to find roof problems quickly, but you may have also heard of a “roof tune-up” service that can extend the life of your roofing system. So what’s the difference, and which one should Oklahoma City homeowners choose? Read on to find out – the answer may surprise you!
What Is A Roof Inspection?
A typical roof inspection finds the source of damage, usually once a roof leak has formed. This includes walking along the roof to check for missing shingles/tiles, signs of hail damage, and the overall amount of wear on the roof based on its age. In most cases, roof inspections are completed to make the determination of whether it is more cost-effective to repair the roof or if it should be replaced.
Roof inspections typically don’t include a comprehensive review of a home’s gutters, siding, or attic. This can be problematic because all of these things are tied to a home’s roofing system!
What Is A Roof Tune-Up?
A roof tune-up checks all aspects of a home’s roofing system and ensures they operate at peak performance. Here’s how these elements work together to create a safe and fully protected home:
- Missing shingles that could cause leaks and debris build-up that will clog gutters
- Debris, clogs, or damaged gutters cause water to back up into the home
- Siding damage and mold allow rodents/insects to enter the home
- Faulty windows cause water damage/mold and air leaks
If there is damage, a roof tune-up makes it easy to fix and prevents costly problems! Ready to get started? Schedule your roof tune-up now!
