How to Inspect Your Roof For Potential Repairs

Your home is supposed to be your safe haven from the worries of the world where you can just relax and enjoy time with your friends and family. Unfortunately, your home is susceptible to damage and wearing down from braving the elements for you, year after year. That’s why it’s vital to perform a house inspection at least once a year to ensure the safety of you and your loved ones. Luckily, you can perform a home inspection yourself or you can hire My Florida Roofing Contractor. You don’t even need to risk a rooftop walk if you have a pair of binoculars. If you do happen upon some areas of your roof that require repair, roof repair Vero Beach FL should be your first search. Don’t put it on the back burner. Roof repairs can be costly if left too long.

What to Look for During Your Inspection

Whether you choose to inspect your roof from the ground with a pair of binoculars, or you decide that you’d rather have an up-close inspection to ensure you cover your bases thoroughly, there are a number of things you should make sure to look out for. Cracked caulk or rust spots can indicate a possible entry point for leaks. Shingles that are worn out and curling are a weak point that can lead to more serious damage. Missing or broken shingles will allow water to enter your roof and may cause rotting supports and can be extremely dangerous if left alone. Cracked and worn rubber boots around vent pipes are a common way for roofs to leak and cause serious structural damage. Chimney caps are a good way to keep water and animals out of your chimney, so if yours is broken or missing be sure to get it fixed or replaced right away. Moss and lichen may indicate that your roof is decaying and should be dealt with as soon as possible.

If You Find Something During Your Home Inspection

If your shingles need to be replaced, this can be done by yourself, given you’re comfortable on a roof, with a $24 bundle of shingles and $6 roofing caulk. Vents, chimneys and skylights can also be resealed with roofing caulk on your own. Be sure to check if your flashing and vents boots are rusted, because those will need to be replaced. You also have to option of calling a professional roofing company. It will cost more, but if you aren’t comfortable on the roof or are worried that you may not do the job well enough they are your best bet.

My Florida Roofing was phenomenal, always on time and detail oriented. Very knowledgeable on the different types of roofs and options. Felix and Maria, picked up the phone immediately and always answered my questions. The owner Rene was on site frequently looking over the job. They were also the best priced and were even recommended by other roofing companies. Very happy with the outcome.

Having my roof done by My Florida Roofing has been nothing less than an excellent experience. The entire team has been super professional and attentive from the beginning. From the office team who handles the paperwork/permits and customer service and quickly sets up appointments; to Felix, our very knowledgeable and courteous sales rep, who was in constant contact throughout the project time, to give us updates and check up on us; to the installers who did an amazing job; to the owner who made sure to personally come and inspect before, during and after the roof was installed. Everyone did an outstanding job. Now let's talk about GOING ABOVE & BEYOND: Maria - the project manager. She was absolutely the person that made the entire process smooth and easy. She was always available to answer any questions and to give me updates (Maria - you are amazing- thank you!) We love our new roof. I am thrilled we decided to use My Florida Roofing. Thank you! I totally recommend this company and to anyone who needs to come by and see our roof we are at Lindsey Lanes - Vero Beach (house will be painted off-white soon, but for now is Yellow) - See photo for reference.
