Many a Miami roofing company has responded to a homeowner needing extensive repair but who never invested time or money in routine roofing maintenance. Before your Miami home’s roof becomes an expensive re-roofing project, consider these four tips to save money and time.
Choose Metal for Your New Roof
Miami’s harsh sun and pounding rains are legendary. If you plan to be in your home at least two decades, consider investing in metal roofing expertly installed by a local Miami roofing company. You will save money in the long run. Selecting a strong, durable metal roof will also save many hours of labor. It is nearly maintenance-free and will help lower your cooling costs.
Get Annual Inspections for Your Old Roof
A typical Miami roofing company gets hundreds of residential repair and replace calls in a year, but far fewer inspection and maintenance calls. You can save yourself a lot of money and significant time by treating your home’s roof the same way commercial building owners treat theirs: invest in annual inspection and avoid expensive re-roofing.
A conscientious Miami roofer will check the integrity of your roof deck, look for signs of water infiltration, inspect flashing and assess the condition of your roofing material (shingles, tiles or metal). Small repairs can be made on the spot. More extensive work can be scheduled to keep the small repair from turning into a huge expense.
Clean Your Roof’s Gutters
Most Miami homeowners do not consider their homes guttering system to be part of the roof, but it is. It takes all the water running off the roof and escorts it safely away from your home. This saves time and money by preventing:
- Foundation repairs
- Roofing repairs
- Water infiltration
- Ruined exteriors
- Soggy landscaping
Consider Cleaning Your Roof
Many Miami-area roofs, residential or commercial, will benefit from periodic cleaning. On residential roofs, this simple process can remove moss and algae, restore color, and improve reflectivity to lower your cooling bill. A clean roof adds curb value, too. Homeowners are never advised to climb onto their roofs. Get a professional to do the job and avoid mishaps. Roof cleaning is fast and affordable and can add years of useful life to any residential roof.
