Ask Roofstar – How Often Should I Maintain My Roof?

1 week ago

Your roof is one of the most critical aspects of your home. It protects you, your family, and your belongings from the elements, and it plays a significant role in your home’s curb appeal. However, like any part of your home, your roof requires regular maintenance to keep it in top condition. But how often should you maintain your roof? Let’s dive into the details with the team at Roofstar.

Understanding Roof Maintenance

Roof maintenance involves regular inspections, cleaning, and minor repairs to prevent significant damage over time. Whether it’s removing debris, checking for signs of damage, or fixing small leaks, regular maintenance is a proactive approach that can save you from expensive repairs or replacements in the future.

When Should I Maintain My Roof?

The simple answer is: regularly. But let’s break it down a bit more.

Seasonal Maintenance: It’s a good idea to maintain your roof at least twice a year, usually in the spring and fall. These times are perfect because the weather is generally milder. In the spring, you’ll prepare your roof for the harsh summer sun, while in the fall, you’ll be getting ready for the winter season.
After Severe Weather: Severe weather, like heavy rain, hail, or windstorms, can cause immediate damage to your roof. After a significant weather event, it’s a good idea to have your roof inspected for potential damage.
Before Monsoon Season: Here in Mesa-Phoenix, we’re familiar with the powerful storms brought by monsoon season. Ensure your roof is in top shape before these storms hit by scheduling a professional inspection and completing any necessary repairs.

How to Maintain Your Roof

Roof maintenance can be broken down into a few key tasks:

Inspection: Look for visible signs of damage like missing or damaged shingles, sagging areas, or signs of water damage inside your home. Remember to also check your gutters, downspouts, and flashing.
Cleaning: Remove any debris from your roof and gutters. Blocked gutters can cause water to back up and seep into the roof, leading to water damage.
Repair: If you notice minor damage during your inspection, it’s best to repair it promptly to prevent it from escalating. For more significant damage or if you’re unsure, it’s best to call a professional.

Our experience with Roofstar was very professional from the moment someone came out for the quote. They were the only company to get on our roof when they were initially quoting us. We really appreciated how thorough and professional they were. The crew working on our roof was very timely, clean and efficient. The quality of the roof exceeded our expectations. We could not feel happier about how it turned out! We will always refer Roofstar Arizona to friends and family! Our neighbor is actually going to get theirs done now because they saw the quality we received!

Extremely pleased with our extensive roof repair work. The crew showed up early and we could hear them working on the roof all day for a number of days. The price was extremely fair for the scope of the job. I had other roofing companies give me a bid prior to Roofstar. But once Roofstar came out, inspected our roof and told us what needed to be done, I knew they were who we’d hire. They have integrity and honestly which is refreshing when hiring contractors.

I have had several neighbors ask about your company and have given favorable recommendations to this point. Your team was very professional and I think to this point did a great job! I am in sales as well and just to let you know Mike was very professional in his meeting with me and his presentation and follow up made the difference between other companies.

Jeff found problems we knew were wrong with our roof that other Roofers who inspected & gave proposals missed. He was very straight forward, honest & always making sure our questions were answered. He & his crew showed us materials being used & explained everything! He got on the roof during the work to make sure things were going right. His crew are outstanding, respectful, honest and very clean. Couldn’t be more satisfied!! He came highly recommended & we can see why! Thank you Jeff, Juan and Crew for all your hard work. They care & take pride in their work & customers!

I have a new roof today thanks to Roofstar. From the estimate with Chris with understanding the process. Able to talk to all top brass with the care and interest in sharing the process through the team that showed up and did The work. Always willing to answer my questions I am thrilled with the results. Thanks Jeff, Jose, Juan, and Chris. I would highly recommend your team. Your onsite workers were fabulous.

Roofstar provided professional inspection and detail quotes on the repairs needed to be done for our properties. We collected a few quotes from different roofing companies for comparison. Roofstar repair cost was very competitive and reasonable. We ultimately chose to go with Roofstar because we felt confident that they would take care of the problems. They came back to correct the minor issue that we had and finished the job to our satisfaction without further questions. We would highly recommend Roofstar to our families and friends.

I have been so impressed with Roofstar! First let me say I was amazed with Mathew. From the first time he came to our house. Mathew was running about 5-10 minutes late. Mathew called and let me know he was close but would be a few minutes late. He was less than 5 minutes late. What a nice touch! Looking at his age as he appeared young, I wondered how much can he know about roofing? When Mathew came off the roof and explained every picture he took I was impressed. It was obvious he knew how to inspect a roof.

Mathew’s follow up was exactly what he said it would be. This day and age that type of service is hard to find!

On the 2 occasions that I spoke to your staff on the telephone I hung up thinking these employees must love their boss, because they cared so much for his customers.

I don’t make a habit out of sending this type of email, because we just expect good service. Your employees went above and beyond good service.

I look forward to refer friends and family in the future, hoping I never need your service again, but I know where I will call if I need my roof fixed.

Very impressed with Jeff’s response to my concern over a rain caused leak in our ceiling.

Jeff arrived promptly in the a.m. for an evaluation, congenial, confident – integrity fully present. The same characteristics I respected, wanted and needed and had happily experienced the moment I met him. After observing the
rather slight damage to the ceiling we went to the roof where he promptly flattened himself atop the shingles and like a practiced detective began to assess shingles and flashing, etc, in order to create a likely scenario that might have generated a leak. His minute attention to detail was impressive.

Having isolated the potential problem he proceeded to caulk here and there. He also took the time to address other concerns that I had regarding roofing issues going forward.

All in all Jeff delivered the kind of prompt, competent service all homeowners seek, are entitled to, and hope for in a tradesman.

Thank you, Jeff for living the kind of values that make owning a home worth the while.

After a monsoon storm ripped off half our asphalt shingles, I got several quotes from Valley roof companies. Roofstar impressed me with their quote, attention to detail, and quality photos showing the job as a whole. I went ahead used Roofstar, who replaced the entire roof while I was out of town and did a great job picking up the trash, sealing the A/C unit, and affixing new drip edges. I had a small issue with the new trim not matching the old color and the owner, Jeff, was kind enough to come back out and paint the trim himself. Would I recommend Roofstar to friends and family? SURE! They stand behind their work.

Will refer your team and you…..you all fully understand and work for Total Customer Satisfaction…..hope sign generates a new client or two. Take care.
