You’re renovating the house, not the roof. So why should your shingles be part of the plan? The truth is that contractors still sometimes need to get up on the roof anyway, and every time they do, the risk for damage increases. That’s especially true on an older roof with aging, brittle shingles.
You found an online guide with strategies for maintaining the roof on your home. Can you trust it? It turns out the answer might be no if you live in a mobile home. Manufactured homes are built to different standards and often have lower pitches and weight limits that significantly change how you should approach care. The good news? Once you know how to handle it the right way, you can follow a maintenance schedule that actually fits the way your roof was built.
Not every aging roof needs replacement, and not every aging roof qualifies for roof restoration. Shingle rejuvenation treatments are specifically formulated to help resolve the oil depletion and brittleness that comes with age, so it works best on roofs that are 5-20 years old but are still in generally good condition. The best way to find out for sure is to book a free assessment. You don’t want to miss out on evidence-based benefits like these!
Wait for your roof to fail instead of taking care of it now, and you might end up with a surprise bill of up to $30,000 with zero warning. Roofing maintenance plans help you avoid the shock by paying a more affordable, predictable rate for preventive care that keeps your roof healthy long-term.
There’s more to consider than just aesthetics if you’re thinking about putting on a new roof. The color you choose could affect everything from how long your shingles last to how well they perform over time. The darker the shingle, the more UV rays and heat it absorbs, breaking down the asphalt core faster.
You did your research and sourced a few quotes for the roof work you need done on your home. Before you assume the lowest bid will offer the best value, or the roofer who says you need a replacement is right, you need to understand the condition your roof is in and how to spot the most common red flags. Most Roof Maxx dealers are also roofers, which is why it makes sense to schedule a free roof assessment first.
High attic humidity rots out wooden decking, corrodes fasteners, and creates a breeding ground for mold. Once the wood and other materials get wet, they can swell and warp enough to push the shingles up away from your roof. Improving your ventilation and making attic checks a regular part of your maintenance plan can help you avoid disaster.
Thermal cycling happens to every asphalt roof in the United States every single day as temperatures rise and fall. You can’t stop it, and depending on where you live, the local climate may even make it worse. The good news is that roof restoration, shingle rejuvenation, and attic ventilation improvements can help you fight back and slow it down before it can severely damage your shingles.
High temperatures can wreak havoc on an asphalt shingle roof, but it’s actually the UV rays in sunlight that cause the most damage. These shorter-wavelength forms of light transfer much more energy into your shingles, which can cause the petrochemical oils inside the core to evaporate or harden. Shingle rejuvenators like Roof Maxx treat this problem at the root by replenishing these lost oils so the shingle feels soft and flexible again.
Most tenants appreciate when landlords keep up on maintenance, but a multi-day tear-off with dumpsters in the driveway can be so disruptive, you have to temporarily relocate them into other accommodations. Roof restoration helps you take care of minor repair needs for up to 80% less and takes less than an afternoon, and it can also help you get up to 15 more years of life out of each roof. More time between replacements means more money in your pocket, especially when you scale it across your portfolio.
