They will also be licensed and insured to work in Oregon State. These simple steps help establish a contractor as trustworthy and responsible. Keeping a roof from falling into disrepair is one of the constant challenges of being a homeowner. Using this network gives someone a head start on expensive repairs.

How often should a homeowner be planning on roof maintenance?

The materials used to construct a roof greatly affect its lifespan. The design of the roof can also impact how often it will last. Because of these two factors being combined with the unpredictable nature of severe storms, most contractors recommend that a roof be inspected every three to five years. They also recommend that a roof be completely replaced after twenty to thirty years. Following this schedule is a responsible action, and can help maintain the safety of personal possessions. If a homeowner isn't sure whether an inspection is necessary they should consider the following factors:

• A roof can sometimes become damaged in spots that are difficult to see. Seals or insulation can wear out and allow water damage for long periods of time before becoming visible. A roof inspection can spot these trouble areas and get them repaired.
• Any company allowed into the 1-800-Roofcare network will provide a written estimate of any roof repairs that need to be done. This service is free and should alleviate stress on the homeowner.
• Preventative repairs are almost always cheaper than addressing a leaking roof after the interior has been damaged. Electrical wiring, plumbing, structural supports and personal possessions can all be damaged by a compromised roof. 

What types of damage merit seeking a roofing contractor?

If damage is suspected, a homeowner should always contact a roof repair specialist as soon as possible. This can help reduce damages and costs in the long term. Weather damage is sudden and can occur without warning. A homeowner can reduce the chances that damage will go unseen by performing a visual inspection of the roof before and after a storm. If any of these common types of damage are spotted, a contractor should be involved with the repairs:

• A bulging ceiling that appears to sag can be an indication of a leaking roof. The wooden supports can become swollen with moisture and bend with stress.
• Aging can occur prematurely on some roofs and should trigger an early inspection. If tiles have been spotted falling off, or loosely hanging, an inspection should take place.
• Weather damage can occur from both heavy precipitation and debris impacts. A broken branch or high winds can wreak havoc on the roof.
• Discolored or stained tiles can indicate moss, mold or algae growths on the rooftop. These can trap moisture and break seals.
• Buckling sections of the roof can point to areas that were improperly constructed. They can also signal broken seals and leaks. 

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

The referral network only allows qualified and trustworthy contractors into it. These companies are based locally and have been in the Hillsboro area for at least five years. They also have their license and insurance to work in Oregon State. There are other benefits to working with a small business: 

• A local company understands that its reputation can be decided by the quality of its work. Roof repairs can be visible to the entire community and if done well, provide a priceless form of advertisement.
• A small business can connect its workers directly with the client. This allows both parties to establish expectations and needs.
• A local roof contractor can often respond faster to severe weather and emergency repairs. This can save money and prevent further damage from occurring.
