As a Treasure Valley homeowner, you’re probably always looking for ways to save money. This often means cutting back expenses by turning off unnecessary lights or turning down your thermostat to save on expensive energy bills. However, the last thing you want to do is put off preventative roof maintenance. Even if your roof seems like it’s in good condition, it should never be neglected. Why? Waiting until something goes wrong can cost you thousands of dollars. That’s why the Boise roofers at Madison Roofing would like to provide you with the following ways preventative roof maintenance saves you money.
Why Preventative Maintenance Makes Financial Sense
While a new roofing system is an expensive investment, it’s your first line of defense against the harsh outside elements, essentially protecting your property and loved ones. If you don’t maintain it or fix issues as they develop, it can accelerate the processes of deterioration, creating expensive damage down the road. Think of your roof like a car. If you don’t change your oil or rotate your tires, your vehicle won’t last as long as it should have if you had maintained it on a regular schedule. Instead, you’ll end up dealing with major repairs or having to purchase a new car altogether, which is a much more significant expense than a few oil changes. The same goes for your roof. Performing regular maintenance will prevent you from having to replace your roof sooner than you need to, and it will save you thousands in the long run.
Prevention Is Easier Than It Seems
At Madison Roofing, we make it easy for you to maximize the return on your new roof. With us, we can help you maintain your roof and make necessary repairs when you need them so bigger issues don’t develop. As the old saying goes, “a pound of prevention is worth an ounce of cure”. But when it comes to major systems like your roof, prevention adds up to thousands of dollars, which is worth the investment.
Our Boise roofers will look for any displaced flashing, broken or missing shingles, faulty adhesives, missing nails, or clogged gutter or drains. We know small problems can quickly become bigger, much more expensive ones if you aren’t proactive. We will then provide you with a list of recommended repairs and maintenance services and a general idea of how long your roof should last before needing to be replaced.
Furthermore, regular maintenance helps to satisfy certain manufacturer warranties. Many times, Treasure Valley homeowners must have proof of regular maintenance and inspections for a warranty to be deemed valid. That means if you fail to schedule regular maintenance inspections and a major problem develops, you may be financially responsible for all the repairs or an entire replacement, which can cost thousands of dollars. At Madison Roofing, we recommend having your roof inspected and maintained twice a year. In Idaho, it’s important to have these inspections done in the spring and fall to identify any issues before the summer or winter weather hits.
