Some remodeling ideas are easy to do and inexpensive.

These include painting your cabinets, transforming an unused kitchen island into a sit-down breakfast bar, and so on. Of course, there are also home improvement projects that aren’t so fun but necessary.

For example, roof repair or replacement isn’t something you shouldn’t delay. You can live with unpainted cabinets, but a leaky roof can lead to mold within your ceiling or rot your house’s support beams.

The good news is, with roof maintenance, it’s possible to keep repair costs down. So how much does roof maintenance cost? Here’s a list of what you need to know.

1. Follow a Roof Maintenance Schedule

Depending on where you live, roof replacement costs are around $5,000 to $12,000. It’s a significant investment, which is why you have to know how to budget for roof maintenance. If you stick to a maintenance schedule, you can help extend the lifespan of your roof.

Once or twice a year, have a professional inspect your roof. If the inspection reveals problem areas, be sure to address those asap. You can also hire experts to clean the gutters and trim nearby trees.

If necessary, re-caulk flashings. It’s also best to check your attic. Remember, if it’s not adequately ventilated, ice dams could form on your roof, which could tear off gutters, loosen shingles, and cause water damage to your home.

2. Lower Your Roof Maintenance Cost by Being Proactive

Suppose you forgot to have your roof inspected. You think it’s not a big deal, and there’s always next year, anyway.

If you’re lucky, your roofing will be fine even without a yearly inspection. However, if you notice sagging, cracked shingles, algae, or moss on the roof, etc., don’t put off calling a reliable contractor like Falcon Roofing. For more information on them, you can check out https://www.falconroofingsd.com/.

Keep in mind that roofing materials are becoming more expensive because of increasing demands for installation and repairs. Long delivery times are also an issue, so you’ll want to fix what you can right now to guard against future price increases.

3. Check Your Homeowners Insurance

Most of the time, homeowners insurance will cover some roof repairs. The keyword here is ‘some’ because if your roof springs a leak due to lack of maintenance, your insurer can deny your claim.

You can check your policy to know the roofing damages it covers.

4. Prepare to Spend for a New Roof

If you have plans to sell your home, investing in a new roof can help increase your selling price.

Before you search, ‘how much does a roof cost?’ though, you need to understand the factors that could cost you to spend more or less. These include roofing materials, labor and installation, roof pitch and height, and roof layers. Be sure to consult a roofing expert to help you budget for your new roof.

5. Know When to Call a Pro

DIY is popular as it allows homeowners to save money. There are some home improvement projects, however, that are best left to professionals.

Roof repairs and replacement are jobs for experts, not DIYers. Tinkering with your roof is not only dangerous, but it could also result in further damage to your roofing.

Make Your Roof Future-Proof

It’s easy to lower your roof maintenance cost if you follow the tips listed here.
