Use dependable local roofing contractors in Lexington KY to repair or replace a home’s roof. Neglected roofs need to be replaced sooner. They can be damaged by storms, and if that damage is not repaired promptly, leaks may develop. Roof leaks can cause thousands of dollars of interior damage and encourage the growth of dangerous mold. A homeowner can save money by inspecting the home’s roof after storms or high wind events to check for damage such as missing or damaged shingles. If repaired promptly, this damage is not expensive to fix.
Maintaining A Roof
When a person is considering purchasing an existing home, they should insist on a roof inspection. This establishes a baseline for roof condition and the need for repairs. Then, the repairs should be made or the roof replaced if necessary. The buyer and seller can agree who pays for the roof work before the home is purchased. This can save the homeowner thousands of dollars in unexpected costs.
If a homeowner has an older roof and has not had it inspected in more than a year, they should call a company such as Affordable Exterior to inspect it. Roofs that are older than ten years old are nearing the end of their estimated life depending on the roofing material. Getting the roof inspected or inspecting it one’s self can detect damage and weak areas before they become serious problems. If repairs are performed as needed, the roof will last years longer.
Walking around the home after a storm looking at visible roof surfaces for missing shingles and looking on the ground for displaced shingles is a good start. If the damage is spotted, roofing contractors in Lexington KY can be called to do repairs before roof leaks develop. A roof leak is a serious problem that should be attended to quickly. A roofer can find where the leak originates and repair it before more interior damage happens.
Replacing A Roof
Once a roof starts leaking, it may be worn out and need replacing. It is better to replace an older roof before it starts leaking into the interior of the home. The same roofing contractor that repairs roofs can replace them. Contact us for additional roofing information.
