As a Tri-Cities homeowner, your roof is one of the most essential components of your home. It protects your house from the elements but can sustain significant abuse throughout the seasons, especially the harsh winters we see here in the Tri-Cities. Should your roofing fail, the damage sustained can be astronomical! Therefore, it is vital to integrate regular roof treatment into your home maintenance plan. As experts in shingle rejuvenation, we at Roof Maxx of Tri-Cities want you to get the most out of your roof! That is why we are sharing with you our secret to extend the life of your roof and reduce the cost of future roof replacements while practicing sustainable, non-invasive maintenance solutions. Let’s jump in!
Why Roof Treatment Should Be Part of Your Home Maintenance Plan:
As a homeowner, you should have a comprehensive home maintenance plan to keep your house in tip-top shape. Not only does this increase the longevity of your various home components, but it helps sustain your home’s value should you decide to sell. Your roof, in particular, is an aspect of your home that will be especially scrutinized should you choose to sell.
Unfortunately, the average asphalt roof only lasts about 12-20 years these days, with traditional replacement costs averaging between $8,000 and $17,000 for a 2,000-square-foot home. Luckily, there are methods to increase the longevity of your roof, including regular roof inspections and rejuvenation treatments.
First, regular roof inspections are vital for every homeowner as they can identify potential problems before they become costly damage. Roof inspections should occur bi-annually and after any major weather event. Say, for instance, you recently experienced a wind storm. By inspecting your roof, you may find that a few shingles have been blown off. This would leave your roof vulnerable to water damage should it not be repaired quickly. Overall, by being on top of your roof inspections, you can fix any problem before it takes a toll on your wallet.
Second, roof rejuvenation treatments can revitalize dried-out, brittle shingles, making them flexible and water-resistant again. The Roof Maxx treatment is a plant-based oil that is sprayed on dried-out shingles and penetrates deep into their asphalt cores. This oil restores flexibility and waterproofing capabilities, rehydrating the shingles and restoring them to the functionality of their youth. So, how does this benefit your roof?
The Benefits of Roof Maxx Shingle Rejuvenation:
Cost Savings:
As we mentioned above, the cost of a total roof replacement is generally upwards of 10k. A Roof Maxx Roof Treatment, on the other hand, is a fraction of the cost. You can add 15 years to your roof’s lifespan by repeating the process up to three times. This essentially doubles the lifespan of your roof for a far more affordable price than a complete replacement.
Environmental Benefits:
Roofing materials are a highly wasteful aspect of our economy. They require extensive materials and labor to produce, ship, and install, and they typically end up in the landfill after being used. By rejuvenating your roof and extending its lifespan, you are making an eco-friendly choice by delaying the consumption of new materials. Say you are able to rejuvenate your roof three times to get another 15 years out of it; that would essentially keep an entire roof out of the landfill!
Quick and Non-Disruptive:
If you have ever replaced a roof, you know how disruptive it can be. Not only can it take upwards of a week or two to install, but it requires notifying the neighbors and removing children and pets from the home. Then, there is the aspect of cleaning up all the mess! On the other hand, a Roof Maxx Roof Treatment can be applied in just a few hours without the mess or noise of a traditional roof replacement. It is a quick, clean, and efficient process that can easily be built into one’s schedule without a headache.
Signs Your Roof Needs Treatment:
We understand that calling in an inspection every time we have a windstorm might be too much. Fortunately, if you are confident in your ability to get on your roof, you can do so before an inspection. To do this, you just need to know the common signs of roof damage. For example, common issues you may encounter include roof sagging, missing flashing, and puncture holes. If you do find these, calling in a professional for quick repair is vital to prevent further damage.
Additionally, there are signs to indicate when you need a rejuvenation roof treatment. The easiest to identify are curling or cracked shingles, loss of granules, or missing nails. Should you see this, you can call in our Roof Maxx specialists to assess your roof and determine if it’s a good candidate for rejuvenation.
Integrating Roof Maxx Treatment Into a Comprehensive Maintenance Plan:
As homeowners ourselves, we understand how undertaking a comprehensive home maintenance plan can be challenging to keep up with. There is always something that needs to be done, but you don’t have to do it alone!
As experts in the roofing field, we highly recommend that homeowners combine roof treatments with other home maintenance tasks, such as gutter cleaning and exterior inspections. You may even call it Roof Week! This allows for a proactive approach to home roof care that can be completed in one fell swoop.
To do this, we recommend scheduling regular inspections and roof treatment to ensure your roof stays in optimal condition. Then, you can plan your Roof Week around those scheduled dates!
