Roof Maintenance in Utah

Roof Maintenance Services

At American Roofing, we understand that thinking about and making time to check and maintain your roof is often overlooked. Life is busy, and the to-do lists are always longer than the time available. However, keeping an eye on the roof over your head can save you a lot of headaches and additional expenses down the road. That’s why we offer routine roof maintenance services to help you out.

What Is Routine Roof Maintenance?

Think of routine roof maintenance the same way you would address car maintenance. Just as you need routine oil changes and brake checks to ensure your car will stay reliable and in great shape for years to come, there are things you can do to make sure your roof stays in great shape as well.

Performing maintenance allows us to look for potential problems, make minor roof repairs, and clean things up to prevent future issues. It’s not about finding ways to sell you more services you don’t need. It’s about ensuring you don’t face large, unexpected expenses that could have been avoided.

What Does Routine Roof Maintenance Include?

Whether you choose to perform your routine roof maintenance or let American Roofing help you with these tasks, here’s what a thorough roof maintenance service program should include.

• Annual Inspection: We will go over every inch of your roof with an eye for little details that can make a big difference and work to correct any problems we spot along the way.
• Remove Debris: Common debris such as tree limbs, fall leaves, bird’s nests, and more cause damage when left on your roof. Our first order of business is to make sure we’re working with a clean canvas. We’ll also watch for signs of pests and rodents.
• Clean Gutters and Downspouts: We’ll ensure your gutters are clean and working properly to direct water away from your roof and home.
  Check and Repair Flashing: Next, we’ll look at the metal flashing along the ridges and seams of your roof. Damaged areas are repaired.
• Seal Joints and Pipes: Any seams and other areas requiring sealants, such as caulking, will also be reviewed and refreshed as needed.
• Repair Roof Vents: Rusty and damaged roof vents can be painted and repaired.
• Replace Popped Nails: We’ll ensure all nails are properly fastened and in place.
• Replace Shingles: Damaged and missing shingles can create a domino effect of increased damage the longer they go without being repaired. Any damaged or missing shingles due to high winds, severe weather, or other forms of wear and tear will be replaced as needed.
• Honest Communication and Meticulous Records: The main goal of roof maintenance is repair and prevention. You can count on American Roofing to keep you in the loop with honest and helpful information about the state of your roof, repairs that have been completed, and those tasks that we advise should be taken care of soon.

How Often Should a Roof Be Inspected and Maintained?

Generally, it is wise to have a full inspection and maintenance routine at least once a year. Twice a year can be a better choice if you live in an area with a lot of debris. This could include locations with dense foliage and very active wildlife.

You may also need to supplement these inspections with additional checks if you live in areas with severe weather or other factors that might interfere with the longevity of your roof. Consider an additional inspection after major events involving wind, rain, hail, snow, or ice.
