Roof Maintenance

Regular maintenance is recommend and necessary if the roofing system is to reach is maximum expected life. The average life expectancy of a typical residential roof is 15 to 20 years in Colorado. Cleaning gutters/downspouts and removing debris, sealing nail holes, re sealing loose shingles, replacing damaged shingles, and replace broken tiles are all common preventative  maintenance. Water damage to a home’s interior or overhangs is commonly caused by leaks from a single damaged part of the roof, poorly installed flashing, or from around chimneys and skylights. These problems do not necessarily mean you need a new roof. If your roof is in overall good condition it may only require some maintenance or repair.
