What You Need to Know About Your Home's Roof

As the homeowner, what do you truly know about your home's roof?

In order to understand just what regular maintenance of your home's roof can consist of, it pays to know the anatomy of the structure, from the outermost layer, down to the support system that keeps it all above your head.

So let's take a look at the basic components that make up many of the different kinds of roofing, their purposes, and what keeping them maintained typically entails.

• The Roof Shingles/Shakes - As the outermost layer of your home, the shingles are what anyone would immediately see upon looking at your roof.
  
  They come in a variety of materials like cedar, asphalt, and many others, so the steps you take to care for them will have to depend on their composition.

  In general, you want to look for damaged, missing, or broken material as a sign that you might need some sort of maintenance.

  By replacing damaged or missing shingles and shakes with new ones, you can ensure that you will prolong the life of your roof.

• The Gutters - These surround your roof and draw water away, but they need to be free and clear of obstruction in order to work.
  
  A regular gutter cleaning is the best way to make sure that your gutters function properly, and will be able to continue carrying water away from your roof and home.

• The Soffits and Fascia - These components are critical to the ventilation of your home, so you want to make sure that your inspection includes them.
  
  In general, look for signs like decay and stains as indicators that soffits and fascia need replacing and you will be able to make sure that the home ventilates properly throughout the year.

These basic components of roofing are all good places to look when carrying out an inspection so that you can ensure the entire system is able to hold up against the conditions you need it to withstand.

Beyond that however, you also want to take a look at the area that surrounds your home.

If you have trees surrounding your home, that could easily lead to debris like leaves and wayward branches breaking loose and finding their way onto your roof, leaving the potential for damage to occur over time.

Likewise, growth like moss can occur on your roof thanks to a combination of water and humility, so that's something else that can be addressed during roof maintenance.

These problems can be corrected with a roof cleaning that will prevent you from having to replace the entire roof.

So when it comes to making sure your roof in safe, regular maintenance just makes sense, but who can you rely on deliver a thorough inspection that guarantees problems are caught early enough?
