You Change Your Oil Every 5,000 Miles. Routine Roof Maintenance is Just as Important
If you did nothing to regularly maintain your automobile, you know what would happen. Fluids would run low, harming your engine and brakes. Tires would become threadbare and lose traction. Small dings and scratches would begin to rust your car’s body work. You maintain your car or truck adequately to ensure reliable, efficient performance and longevity. Think about your roof the same way. Whether it’s shingle roof maintenance, metal roof maintenance, or flat, commercial roof maintenance, your property deserves basic upkeep where it counts the most.
If your truck needed an engine overhaul because you neglected to practice recommended maintenance, you would have to fork over thousands of dollars–far more costly than a few visits annually to a Jiffy Lube or the dealership where you bought your truck. Likewise, when a roof springs a leak that becomes apparent when you notice stains ceilings inside your home, repairs can be costly. Regular roof maintenance can lead to early identification of developing roof issues and Maumee River Roofing can address those items proactively, saving you thousands of dollars in potential structural repairs to your roof system due to neglect.

Even the best manufacturers’ warranties do not cover general wear and tear, unless it leads to extremely premature roof system failure, which isn’t likely. A warranty generally covers product defects, but they don’t cover your roof when materials deteriorate due to natural causes of wear and tear… ice, snow, rain, hail, fallen debris, bacterial growth, or damage from the sun’s UV rays. Roof maintenance is the best way to detect and document material defects, as well as extend the life of your roof, prevent leaks, and save on the expense of major repairs or replacements.
