Roof Maintenance and Roofing FAQs

What are the most common reasons for roof failure?

Roofs fail due to poor installation, storm damage, aging materials, lack of maintenance, and inadequate ventilation. Regular inspections and timely repairs help prevent premature roof failure.

How long does a roof last?

The average roof lasts between 25–50 years, but the lifespan of a roof depends on the material, climate, and maintenance. Asphalt shingles typically last for 15–30 years, while metal roofs can last 40–70 years. Regular inspections and maintenance can help extend your roof’s lifespan and prevent early replacement.

How often should I have my roof inspected?

A professional roof inspection is recommended at least once every 2–3 years or after major storms to catch issues early and extend the life of your roof.

How can I prepare my roof to prevent damage?

Regular maintenance, such as cleaning gutters, trimming overhanging tree branches, and scheduling frequent inspections, can help prevent roof damage. Proper attic ventilation and timely repairs of small issues also help extend the life of your roof.

What is proper roof maintenance, and why is it important?

Roof maintenance involves regular inspections, cleaning, and minor repairs to prevent larger issues. It ensures your roof lasts longer and performs optimally.

What happens if I don’t clean my gutters?

Clogged gutters prevent proper drainage, leading to roof leaks, foundation issues, and water damage. Regular gutter cleaning helps prevent costly repairs.

What are the signs of a roof leak?

Common signs of a roof leak include water stains on ceilings or walls, dripping water, mold growth, or a musty odor in the attic. You may also notice missing or curling shingles, damaged flashing, peeling paint, or sagging areas on the ceiling. If you suspect a leak, schedule a roof inspection to prevent further damage.

What are the most common causes of roof leaks?

Roof leaks can result from missing shingles, damaged flashing, clogged gutters, ice dams, and improper ventilation. Regular inspections can help detect these issues early.

How do I know if my attic ventilation is affecting my roof?

Poor ventilation can lead to excess moisture, mold, ice dams in winter, and higher energy costs. Signs include musty odors, high humidity, and inconsistent indoor temperatures.

What should I do if I see missing shingles?

Missing shingles expose your roof to leaks and further damage. Schedule an inspection to determine whether repairs or a replacement are needed as soon as possible.

Can hail or storm damage my roof?

Yes, hail and storms can cause dents, cracks, or even structural damage. Signs to look for from the ground include missing shingles, granule loss, and leaks, but we recommend that a professional safely inspect up close. Schedule a roof inspection if you suspect damage​​!

What should I do if my roof is damaged after a storm?

It is best to immediately contact a reputable roofing company for a free inspection. We’ll assess the damage, document it, and guide you through repairs or replacements​​.

Should I climb on my roof to check for damage?

No, it’s not recommended to climb on your roof to inspect for damage. Walking on your roof can be dangerous and may cause further damage, especially if shingles are loose or the structure is weakened. Instead, look for signs of damage from the ground, such as missing shingles, sagging areas, or debris buildup. For a thorough assessment, schedule a roof inspection to ensure your roof is checked safely and professionally.
