Preventative Maintenance On Shingle Roofs
One of the most important aspects of preventative maintenance for a shingle roof is keeping an eye on the condition of the shingles. Look for any signs of wear or damage, and replace any damaged shingles as needed. You should also check the flashing around the pipes, chimney and any other roof penetrations. Make sure that the flashing is in good condition and properly sealed to prevent water from leaking into your home.
As with most roofs, the exposed sealant is one of the first things to fade on a roof. Next would be the rubber caskets on shingle roofs. Since shingles are susceptible to high winds, it’s also important to look for loose shingles and rescuer them as needed.

Tile Roof Preventative Maintenance
For a tile roof, regular maintenance is important to prevent cracking or breakage of the tiles. Especially as the roof gets older and the tile becomes more brittle. Even walking on an old tile roof can cause damages if not done by a licensed roofer.
We will inspect the roof for any loose or damaged tiles and repair or replace them as needed. You should also check the condition of the mortar between the tiles and make sure that it is in good condition. Mortar is used along the ridges, peaks and in areas of flashing. All of these areas might need some maintaining over time incase any of it cracks or slides out of place.
Metal Roofing Preventative Maintenance
For a metal roof, preventative maintenance is important to prevent rusting or corrosion. Inspect the roof for any signs of damage or wear and repair or replace as needed. You should also check the condition of the sealant around the edges of the roof and make sure that it is in good condition.
Metal roofing is the strongest option out there and also the easiest to maintain for a long time. As a metal roof gets older, the first thing to go is typically the flashing or any sealant around skylights or pipes. Thankfully these can be repaired or replaced without having to replace the whole roof.
Preventative Maintenance On Flat Roofs
Flat roofs probably need the most TLC when it comes to roof maintenance. They have a tendency to have ponding water which can become a problem if it sits up there for too long. So one of the first points of inspection are to look for ponding water and repair as needed.
The next point of a flat roof would be to inspect the seams and flashing along walls and penetrations. Since wind driven rain or ponding water will get into those seems if they are not held down securely.
Depending on what type of roof you have, a normal residential flat roof might last up to 12 years and a commercial flat roof could last up to 20 or 30 years.
