Why should a homeowner consider getting their roof inspected?

The average roof needs to be inspected every three to five years and completely replaced every twenty to thirty years. It seems infrequent and can even feel like an unnecessary precaution, but preemptive roof repair can save huge headaches and exploding costs. The roof protects every part of the home from weather damage. Whether it be intense temperatures or heavy precipitation, a roof in disrepair cannot provide the protection that a house requires. Damaged structure supports, wiring, pipes and personal possessions are common problems when a roof isn't functioning as it should. Keep these factors in mind when determining if roof repair is something you should schedule soon:

• All companies that participate in 1-800-Roofcare are required to provide a free estimate of any work that needs to be done. This establishes pricing and lowers anxiety levels.
• Some roof damages require a trained professional to spot. Sometimes interior layers of insulation wear out while hidden from view.
• Roof damage can become very expensive since the rest of the house is put at risk when a leak or other damage occurs. Regular inspections prevent a simple roof repair from becoming much more.

What common types of damage should signal the need for roof maintenance?

In the Metaire area, there are many types of common roof damages. If a roof falls into disrepair, it's always a good idea to seek a trained roofer for help. If any of the following conditions are suspected, an inspection is a good idea. Precautionary inspections can save large amounts of money and give the homeowner peace of mind. Call a contractor if any of these situations are witnessed:

• Sagging ceilings are usually a result of a leak that has bleed through into the interior of the structure. The wooden supports absorb moisture and eventually begin to bend as a result.
• Buckling tiles on the exterior are a common sign that a seal has broken or the roof has been improperly constructed.
• Aging tiles and shingle can sometimes detach and fall to the ground. Any loose spots should be brought to the attention of a contractor.
• Discolored and stained portions of the roof indicate that moss, algae or mold may be growing. These can trap water and weaken the interior structure.
• Weather damage can result from precipitation, high winds, or debris impacting the roof. Always inspect the exterior of a home after a severe weather event.

How does 1-800-Roofcare help a homeowner connect to a roofing company?

By dialing 1-800-Roofcare or filling out the form on this website, a homeowner is redirected to a local business in the New Orleans metro area. They can provide a no obligation quote on any work that needs to be done. This business also has experience working in the Louisiana area, and is both licensed and insured. Outside of these baseline factors, keep the following in mind about the benefits of small businesses:

• A local company will know when a severe weather event is impending or has happened suddenly. They can often respond to emergency repairs faster than large companies.
• A small business owner understands that their work will be on display to the community after the job is done. They treat every customer and job with the utmost respect.
• A small company can connect a homeowner directly with the roofer that will be doing the work. This can establish expectations and help both sides proceed with less stress.
