Roof Inspections Kitchener, Ontario
When you own your home, your roof is one of the last things that you pay attention to, but it’s one of the first things that you look at when you originally get it. It is one of the most important parts of your home as it keeps all weather elements from entering your home.
With Kitchener Affordable Roofing, our roof inspectors know just how important your roof is to your home. No matter how good you think your roof is, if you don’t get a professional inspection, you’ll end up spending more money than you have to.
One of the most important things to remember about the inspection is that it should be done on a regular basis. It shouldn’t be a once-a-year thing. It should be done after a cold winter season and one after the end of the summer season.
It is never recommended to inspect the roof yourself as it is dangerous going on top without supervision and experience. This is why it is a smart choice to have one of our inspectors go up and check that everything is in working condition. He/she will check to make sure there are no cracks, holes, and other things that aren’t visible to the naked eye. If you don’t want to have to deal with the cost of repairs, you can get an estimate from our company that specializes in roof inspections.
If your roof is new, you have the peace of mind that all is well with it. Anything beyond 10 years old, you should have it inspected twice a year depending on what province you live in. So many elements can wear down and damage it, like rain, snow, wind, hail, and ice! All these factors can really wear your roof down and destroy the material over time, so make sure to stay on top of the maintenance.
When it comes to roof repair, the two most common types of repairs include structural and cosmetic. Structural covers the main sections of the roof while the aesthetic type will clean up any damage to the home’s exterior.
Roof damage can occur in all forms. Some damage can be from natural wear and aging. For example, it is common to find broken shingles and crooked tiles on roofs that are over 10 years old. Some repairs may also be as simple as replacing a part or even repairing the whole thing, but this can often be covered by homeowner insurance.
Aesthetic repairs also referred to as maintenance repairs, are performed to repair the aesthetics of the home rather than the actual construction of the home. For example, a small crack in the ceiling can be repaired so it does not cause any problems with the aesthetics of the home. Similarly, a gutter that leaks can be repaired to make it more attractive.
When you as a homeowner to have an idea about the types of repairs that your home needs, you can discuss all this with one of our professionals. You can ask all your questions about the types of damage repairs that we handle and take care of, as well as what types we have come across and taken care of in the past.
