Roof Maintenance
We’re St. Augustine’s Roof Maintenance Experts
Hester’s Roofing & Coating is a leader in roof maintenance for residential and commercial customers in St. Augustine, St. Johns, Marsh Creek, and Ponte Vedra, FL, as well as the surrounding areas. Your roof shields your family and belongings from Florida’s harsh weather. But like any other part of your home, it needs regular care to do its job well. Unfortunately, many homeowners forget about roof maintenance until problems appear. By then, many small issues have turned into costly repairs. But that doesn’t have to be the case for you. Our trained professionals offer expert roof maintenance services to keep your roof in top shape year-round.
What Is Roof Maintenance?
Roof maintenance includes regular inspections, cleaning, and small repairs to keep your roof working properly. The goal is to catch minor issues before they become major headaches. For example, a loose shingle only costs a few dollars to fix. But if a loose shingle lets water into your home, you could face thousands of dollars in water damage repairs.
Good roof maintenance covers several key areas. It includes checking for damaged or missed shingles, but it also involves assessing flashing, cleaning gutters, and checking for signs of water damage, mold, or pest problems.
Our Comprehensive Roof Maintenance Services
At Hester’s Roofing & Coating, our roof maintenance services cover every part of your roofing system. We start with a thorough roof inspection. We’ll check shingles, tiles, and other roofing materials for cracks, breaks, or wear during this evaluation.
We also examine all flashing and seals around roof penetrations because these areas often develop leaks before any others. Next, we’ll inspect gutters and downspouts to make sure water flows away from your home or property.
If we find problems, we’ll fix them as soon as possible. This includes replacing damaged shingles and sealing small cracks. Our maintenance service includes a detailed report of what we found and what we fixed. We’ll also recommend any larger repairs that may be necessary in the near future.
Benefits of Regular Roof Maintenance
Regular commercial and residential roof maintenance offers many benefits, the biggest of which is preventing costly repairs. Minor problems are always cheaper to fix than big ones. But that’s not all. Our Florida customers also enjoy:
- Longer Roof Lifespan – You can expect a well-maintained roof to last 20 to 30 years. Without proper care, that same roof may fail in 15 years or less.
- Improved Energy Efficiency – A roof in good condition helps keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. This means lower energy bills all year.
- Potential Insurance Discounts – Insurance companies prefer homes with well-maintained roofs. Some even offer discounts for regular maintenance. Plus, if you never need to file a claim, having maintenance records shows you took good care of your roof.
How You Can Maintain Your Roof Between Professional Services
While professional maintenance is essential, you can do your part to help your roof between service visits. Start by keeping your gutters clean. Clogged gutters will cause water to back up and damage your roof. Other tasks we recommend include:
- Trim Tree Branches – Trim any tree branches that hang over your roof. Otherwise, they can scrape shingles and drop leaves that clog gutters. Furthermore, they’re dangerous during storms.
- Check Your Attic Regularly – Look in your attic for water stains, damp spots, or daylight shining through your roof. If you notice any of these signs of damage, call for professional help immediately.
- Leave Roof Repairs to Professionals – Don’t try to make roof repairs yourself. Walking on the roof is dangerous, and improper repairs can make problems worse.
