One of the most ignored responsibilities of a homeowner is roof maintenance and repair. They either intentionally or unintentionally ignore the structure that is over their head. Ignoring roof maintenance and needed roof repairs will ultimately lead you to roof replacement sooner than expected.

Water leaks and other damages turn serious in long term situations. Whether you intentionally or unintentionally ignored the issues, that doesn’t stop or slow down the need for roof replacement.

How will you know when to repair or replace the roof?

Below are 6 signs that indicate your roof needs to be repaired or replaced:

1. Water Damage- The most common sign is water damage on the ceiling and/ or walls. Water stains and other signs of water damage are not to be ignored! Sure, it may not look so bad but behind those walls is a mess of costly repairs getting worse as time passes.
2. Damaged Flashings- Flashings are intended to prevent water from entering your roof. These, typically aluminum made, flashings is a thin material for the purpose of keeping water from leaking into the roof. If the material of the flashing is deteriorated or damaged, the risk of water leaking into your roof is much higher. Water leaking into the roof can result in wood rote, mold growth, and overall structural impairment.
3. Sagging- With good structure, your roof will follow a straight line with edges or ridges. If the roof sags or contains saddlebags in the ridge, its a good indication that your roof has structural damage and is at high risk of collapsing if not corrected in a timely matter. A sagging roof can be caused by excess exposure to moisture, incorrect roofing materials, and low-quality installation.
4. Roof Age- The life expectancy is partly determined on the type of material used. If your roofing material is getting old and worn out, call for a roof inspection. The roof expert will assess your roof and provide options on repair and replacement, if needed.
5. Moss & Fungi Growth- Moss might be okay outside in a shady part of your backyard but it’s not healthy to have moss growth on your roof. Signs of moss, mold, or fungi are good indicators that the roof has some trapped moisture and should be treated immediately to avoid further roof damage and even collapse.
6. Loose & Damaged Tiles- Be sure to inspect your roof tiles every so often. You can get on the roof or schedule an inspection annually. If you see damaged tiles and notice some missing, it might be time to replace the roof depending on the severity.

What is Spray Foam Roofing?

Spray foam roofing is the process of spraying a liquid coat that transitions to a foam like texture eventually creating a solid layer over your roof. The purpose of spray foaming the roof is to improve energy efficiency and interior comfort.

What is the lifespan of spray foam?

With proper maintenance, spray foamed roofs can last 30-50+ years! The overall lifespan of your roof is also dependent on the environment and the types of weather conditions it endures. Roof maintenance and inspections should be done twice a year to ensure longevity of your roof.

When was the last time you had a roof inspection done? Most homeowners have either never had their roof inspected or have only had it done once or twice.  

Your roof goes through a lot defending you and your family against the outside elements. When there is hot sun, cold rain, intense winds, and hail, your roof keeps you safe through it all. It’s crucial to get a professional roof inspection done by a certified contractor after a storm. All of nature’s elements affect the condition of your roof. To ensure you’re protecting your family in a sheltered home, it’s imperative to also protect your roof. When you schedule a roof inspection, you’re taking the first step in protecting the roof. 

Roof inspections after a storm give you the opportunity to repair any damage that may have occurred. How can a storm damage my roof? 

1. Hail damage can easily occur when it comes down in unbelievable sizes. From the size of a pea to the size of a soccer ball, when there is an awful hailstorm be sure to schedule a roof inspection. 

2. Intense winds can do damage to roof shingles and even blow them off your roof. The strong winds also cause heavy tree limbs to fall onto the roof causing damage. 

3. Heavy rainfall can cause the surfacing on the shingles to wear down and lose its durability. If you’re in an area that experiences monsoon storms and consistent rain, regular inspections are important to ensure the shingles are in good condition. 

When you choose to take care of the roof over your head, the benefits are many. A roof inspector will assess all damage that might be difficult to see, will bring all issues to your attention whether they’re big or small, know what they’re looking for, and save you money over time. Don’t wait until catastrophic damage occurs to repair your roof, schedule a roof inspection and proceed with repairs annually. This will save you money in the long run.

For homeowners, the stability and strength of the structure of their home is often overlooked. We would rather spend our money and efforts upgrading the kitchen and bathrooms. I don’t blame you, I’m the same way. However, if we don’t ensure our homes are structurally solid, those beautiful teal cabinets and white marble countertops can easily be destroyed.  

How do you avoid that from happening? For starters, you’ll want to make sure the roof over your head isn’t going to come crashing down on you. This requires regular roof inspections annually and preventative maintenance.  

During a roof inspection, the roofing specialist will do a thorough inspection in and outside the home. If they find any damage or areas of concern, they will bring them to your attention and provide repair or replacement options if necessary. Most roofing contractors offer financing so you can give your home the attention it needs without worrying about financial stress.  

To avoid unnecessary roof damage, there are things you can do: 

1. Trim back branches on tall trees close to the house. 

2. Clear gutters. 

3. Check for broken tiles or shingles.  

4. Keep the roof free of debris 

5. Schedule annual roof inspections with a trusted roofing contractor.

It’s no surprise that Arizona is on the top 10 list of hottest states. The summer days are sunny, hot, and long! During those 117+ degree days, all you want to do is jump in your cool pool but unfortunately, it ends up being a giant bathtub full of warm water.  

Normally by this time, we get a little break from the monsoon rain, but it’s been lacking this year. Everybody and all things have been impacted by the increased temperatures and reduced amount of moisture. This includes your roof no matter what type of material it’s composed of. 

Your roof is about 50 degrees hotter than the outside temperature. That means when it’s 117 degrees outside, your roof is roughly sitting at 167 degrees! These brutally high temperatures cause the roofing material to break down creating a higher chance of damage. For example, a lot of Arizona homeowners have asphalt shingles that will eventually develop into loose and brittle shingles. When they become so weak, even a medium-sized tree branch falling and landing on your roof can mean extensive damage. I’m not saying it’s bound to happen to your roof, but the likelihood is there.  

What can you do to avoid it? To be fair, you can’t avoid what Mother Nature has to offer. However, what you can do is be proactive in getting your roof inspections done annually. With a roof inspection done by an expert every year, you can know the condition of the roofing materials and take care of any necessary repairs.  

Don’t have a trusted roofing expert in your contact list? Now you do! Give Almeida Roofing Inc. a call at 602-743-3175. 

We live in one of the hottest states, Arizona. The sun is constantly shining, and the heat is always rising. You might be wondering, can the heat damage my roof? That is a fair question considering the Arizona heat can be harsh on just about anything.  

Extreme Heat & Your Roof 

When people think of Arizona, the unbearable heat is the first thing to come to mind. Your roof can agree! During the summer when temperatures are at their highest, your roof will reach 150+ degrees. HOT! Those high temperatures lead to the breakdown of roofing materials. Shingles loosen, tiles crack, and even flat roofs bubble. 

Roof Inspections 

To ensure your roof is in tip-top shape during the summer and winter months, it is recommended to have a roof inspection 2x a year, once in the Spring and once in the Fall. If not twice a year, at least annually.  

During an inspection, the roof specialist will check the structural integrity, materials, and signs of damage throughout the ceiling and walls. For any signs of damage, the inspector will bring options for roof repair or replacement. Whether you have loose, broken, or cracked tiles, a licensed roofing contractor can get your roof back in tip-top shape.

This summer has been a slow one this year, but we know, the rain, strong winds, and lightning are just around the corner. Have you prepped your roof for monsoon season yet? 

How can I prep my roof for the monsoon season? 

Clean Gutters- During monsoon season, we get A LOT of rain. It is crucial your gutters are clear of any debris so the water can drain properly. Without proper drainage, the water will create a pool on your roof resulting in costly damage.   

Trim Trees- You’ll either want to get out the trimmer or call a landscaper to cut any overhanging branches. The strong winds can easily cause any branches to break off and come crashing down on your roof. Falling branches can cause serious damage resulting in costly repairs that no one wants to pay for. 

Scan all openings- Over time, areas around openings in the roof fail. The flashings are one of the materials that need replacing. A flashing is a thin metal material that roofers use to direct water away from certain areas in the roof. They’re typically installed to surround features like vents, chimneys, and skylights. 

Schedule a professional roof inspection- To get the most accurate status of the condition of your roof, find a roofing contractor you can trust and schedule an inspection. They’ll be able to fully inspect the roof, provide options, and repair or replace it if needed.

Your roof could have a hole and you wouldn’t even know until it was too late. A hole in the roof allows moisture to cause water damage. This water damage will be in your roof and ceiling.
