As homeowners, we all dread the day when it comes time to replace or repair our roofs. We know it is going to be expensive and a hassle. However, what if we told you there was a way for homeowners in the Tri-Cities area to maintain or restore their roofs without incurring high replacement costs? At Roof Maxx of the Tri-Cities, we utilize the Roof Maxx Treatment – a shingle rejuvenation solution that can extend the lifespan of your roof for years. Today, we will share with you the common signs you need a roof tune-up and how the Roof Maxx Treatment can become a critical pillar in your roof maintenance plan!
Common Signs Your Roof Needs a Tune-Up:
#1 Cracked or Curling Shingles:
As shingles age, the constant exposure to the elements seeps away their essential oils. This, in turn, causes the shingle to lose its flexibility and become brittle, making them prone to damage. Due to this, cracked or curling shingles are one of the most common signs that you need a roof tune-up. Should they go unattended, it can lead to a host of issues, like the following.
#2 Leaks or Water Damage:
A second common and more obvious sign that a home needs a roof tune-up is if there are signs of water stains on ceilings or walls. This is often caused by compromised roofing materials, typically when shingles are damaged or missing, as they let the water seep into the roof rather than directing it to the gutter. If left unresolved, water leaks can become a massive and expensive repair concern and health hazard.
#3 Granule Loss:
A more discreet sign you need roof maintenance is when your shingles experience granule loss. The granules on your shingles help protect your roof from the sun’s UV rays, but as the shingles age, the granules slowly begin to pop off. Typically, homeowners notice granule loss when the granules appear in gutters or downspouts. Due to this, single granule loss is a key indicator that your shingles are starting to break down and require roof maintenance.
#4 Sagging Roof Sections:
Often going unnoticed until someone walks across the roof, sagging sections are a critical red flag that your roof needs immediate repair. A variety of factors can be the cause, but when the roof begins to sag, it is often due to an underlying structure concern triggered by poor roof health. If caught early, the problem may be resolved affordably. However, if it goes unattended, it can cause expensive repairs. You will want to call a professional immediately for an inspection if you notice signs of a sagging roof.
#5 Excessive Energy Bills:
The final common sign you need a roof tune-up is when you notice a spike in your energy bills. As a homeowner, you likely keep a firm grip on your home expenses, and you will notice if your energy bill suddenly spikes. Poor insulation and damaged shingles can lead to higher heating and cooling costs, as the roof is no longer adequately providing the necessary protection. If left unresolved, one can expect their energy bill to continue to rise.
How Roof Maxx Tune-Ups Work:
When working with us at Roof Maxx of the Tri-Cities, our roof tune-up service follows a simple, three-step system.
Step 1: Free Detailed Inspection
While the Roof Maxx Treatment is an excellent roof maintenance solution for many, it is not suitable for all roofs. One of our experienced specialists will come out to your home and provide a free detailed inspection. During the inspection, the specialist will determine if the Roof Maxx Treatment is the right choice for your roof, taking pictures along the way, and provide any recommendations for roof repair.
Step 2: Roof Maintenance
Before we begin the treatment, we will perform a roof maintenance service so your roof is fully capable of achieving the best results. Depending on your roof’s unique needs, this may include replacing crack shingles, sealing any exposed nails, repairing storm collars, resealing flashings, and more.
Step 3: Roof Maxx Treatment
The last step is to apply the Roof Maxx Treatment. The Roof Maxx Treatment works by hydrating dried-out shingles with essential oil beads, potentially extending the roof’s lifespan to up to five years. Like the soy technology used in Good Year tires, the Roof Maxx Treatment is an eco-friendly spray that restores flexibility so the shingle can contract and expand without breaking while reactivating the seal tabs on the shingles, helping to extend the waterproofing protection. A quick and clean process, most roofs can be treated within a couple of hours, with waterproofing protection returning within 72 hours.
Why Regular Roof Maintenance Matters:
As a homeowner, you have a lot of home maintenance on your plate, and roof maintenance is no exception. While it may not seem like a big deal, staying up to date on your roof maintenance can prevent costly damage.
By performing regular inspections, you will notice and be able to address minor problems before they escalate into major repairs or replacements. Not only will this save you from having to cough up a hefty repair bill, but it will also help you maintain energy efficiency and improve your home value.
At the end of the day, we always tell our homeowners that you can’t afford NOT to take care of your roof.
