When You Should Go For Roof Restoration?

Introduction

• After the foundation, the roof can be said to be
  the most important aspect of the house.
• A good roof not only protects you from the harsh
  weather elements outside, it also serves to keep
  out all kinds of insects, rodents, etc., from
  your home! Not to mention, an attractive roof
  makes the home look even more beautiful and even
  increases the property value of your home.
• It increases curb appeal and makes you feel proud
  each time you look up to your home.
• In order to keep the roof looking as bright,
  shiny, and beautiful as on the day they were
  brought, it is important to give them regular
  inspections and maintenance. You can do either a
  roof repair or a roof restoration, it is
  important to know what to look for when you
  conduct your regular inspection of your roof.

Why Is It Important to Inspect Your Roof
Regularly?

• The condition of your roof will depend to a large
  extent on the kind of weather that is predominant
  in the area that you live and the kind of
  surroundings that you have.
• For example, if you live in Mornington Peninsula
  in a place that is surrounded by trees, you can
  be sure that there might be a lot of debris
  collected on the roof from all the fallen twigs,
  branches, bird droppings, or even dead rodents
  and insects.
• This weight can bear down heavily on the roof
  structure, and when combined with the wind and
  rain that is typical of Mornington Peninsula, you
  get a roof that is heavily burdened and under
  great stress. This can be further compounded if
  the roof has not been cleaned in a while, which
  could lead to the roof shingles breaking down and
  getting damaged due to the weight of all the
  debris.

How to Know If a Home Roof Restoration Is Due?

• There is a difference between roof repair and
  roof restoration and it is important to know the
  difference so that you will know which
  professionals to call for help to fix your roof.
• Here are the major signs that you need a complete
  roof restoration for your home in Mornington
  Peninsula, and not just a roof repair
• Check the age of your roof. Roofs usually last
  about two decades, so if your roof is older than
  that, then its time to go for a restoration
  rather than just a repair.
• If your roof is leaking all over, then you
  definitely need a new roof!
• The roof valleys are the space where rain or snow
  falls through and into the gutters. If there are
  shingles that are damaged or missing in your roof
  valleys, a restoration is definitely in order.

How to Know If a Home Roof Restoration Is Due?

• If there are any shingles that are missing from
  your roof, then it is wiser to go for a
  restoration as there will be shingles missing
  from other places too. It is especially important
  to check for this in the aftermath of a storm.
• Check your gutters to see if you find any
  granules of the shingles in them. If you do, you
  can be sure that your shingles are damaged.
• Your insulation will be moist if your roof is
  damaged. This requires a restoration.When you
  walk on the roof, it will feel bouncy or spongy,
  which means it need to be restored.
• If light can be seen through the attic ceiling,
  the shingles are missing and need to be replaced.

  for them, you can also get started on the

  signs which will only lead to greater damage and
