Know the Life of Your Roof

Roofing professionals will usually ask about the installation date of your roof, as it helps them determine the roof’s life expectancy.

New roofs normally come with warranties of 15-20 years, while the number is variable for a renovated roof.

Different aspects like installation, composition, building’s interior conditions, weather, and foot traffic impact the roof’s life.

Is Your Roof Showing Its Age?

Whether residential or commercial, the state of a roof says a lot about living conditions and forms the first impression.

If you want this impression to remain positive, you must watch out for indicators of roof maintenance, or that the roof is nearing the end of its life.

For example, if it needs repairs every month, it is clearly a warning sign for degradation.

Without quick repairs, replacement might become the only option. Always remember that replacement is many times more expensive than renovation.

One method of roof damage is due to infestations by mosses and fungi. They can be found any time of the year on your roof, but more in the rainy season.

In case regular cleaning has not been done here, there could be a lot of harmful growth.

Mosses cause tremendous damage to a roof’s structural integrity, in addition to presenting dreadful sights.

This leads to significant devaluation in case you want to put the house or office on rent. Also, when in combination with moulds and bacteria, mosses cause holes in a roof and could lead to leaks into the building.

Roof replacement seems to be the most obvious solution to this in California, but a really expensive one in most cases.

If it is possible a reputed roofing contractor will surely try to get back the lustre with the help of maintenance activities, available at a fraction of the cost.

Stopping Moss Growth

Are you feeling perturbed by the uncontrollable growth of mosses? If yes, you are likely to be desperately searching for methods to get rid of them.

You need not search anymore since expert roof cleaning professionals in CA know how to removes mosses through the following methods –

  1. Pressure washing gets rid of the major growths, which can then be scraped off with the hands
  2. Tree branches close to the roof may require trimming
  3. Cleaning professionals wear protective gear and often apply bleach to get rid of the mosses. They use diluted forms of bleach chemicals to prevent harm to roof tiles.
  4. Zinc strips prevent the future growth of mosses. It is, in fact, much safer than bleach.
  5. During the cleaning process sticks, mosses, and leaves will fall into the gutter and on the roof. You do not have to worry about these as the professionals will clean them.

Ventilation of the Attic

One of the major determinants of the roof condition is the state of its attic. The attic needs to be well insulated and ventilated at all times.

When there is adequate ventilation, there will be no condensation on the decking. Also, proper insulation prevents warm air from being released and melting snow on the roof.

As soon as the snow refreezes, ice dams that could make roofs collapse are formed.

Anticipating Environmental Conditions

Highly reputed roofing contractors must be able to anticipate weather conditions during the year and prepare their tools accordingly. They need to be constantly updated with changes in wind, rain, and snow conditions.

On top of everything, they have to really know their jobs so that they can handle emergency situations also, if necessary.

They should be able to decipher the kinds of maintenance activities that any roof will require after looking at it. Complete attention must be given to customer satisfaction.

Commercial Roofing Solutions

Cost-effective and innovative custom solutions are needed for commercial roofing challenges, many of which may be complicated.

Contractors use a combination of the latest technology and their knowledge for preparing a robust commercial roofing solution. Every aspect of such a project is important for the company’s success.

These requirements are only slightly different as compared to residential properties, but they are certainly unique. Most contractors in California are able to handle both commercials as well as residential solutions.
