Benefits of Roof Restoration
Property maintenance can be costly, but there are a number of benefits to having your roof restored. Roof restoration is one of those investments that offer both visual improvement and a practical outcome. The main benefits of roof restoration include:
Increase the value of your property:
Figtree property owners who plan to sell their homes often choose to go with roof restoration due to how it can boost a property valuation. Professional roof restoration can really transform a home’s appearance, making it look years younger, whilst instilling confidence in potential buyers. Investing in your roof now can avoid potential delays or issues with subsequent building and pest inspections that may occur once your house goes on the market.
Reduce energy bills:
Cracks and holes in roof tiles can lead to the loss of warm air from your home, affecting it’s ability to insulate. With rising energy costs in NSW, it’s financially and environmentally smart to ensure your home is as efficient as possible. To address these issues, we recommend you use a professional roofer to conduct an inspection.
Confidence during big weather events:
Severe weather conditions have affected southeast NSW in recent years and have highlighted underlying roof issues in several Figtree homes. Knowing that your roof is structurally sound, impermeable, and functioning as intended, is reassuring when the next extreme weather event.
Pest Control Measures:
Your roof can be attractive as a habitat to various types of wildlife, such as rodents, possums, birds, and even snakes. Wildlife that decides to inhabit your roof can cause damage and result in unpleasant consequences such as odours, disease, and further pests. It’s easier to maintain your roof and prevent unwelcome guests from entering than to locate and remove them afterward.
Extend the life of your roof:
Addressing minor damage addressing weak spots in your roof is much simpler and cost-effective than undergoing a complete roof replacement. Planning for a roof restoration in advance on your own terms is also less stressful and expensive than dealing with emergency repairs following a catastrophic failure during a storm. If you plan to own your home for an extended period, roof restoration can be viewed as an investment rather than an expense.
Meet your insurer’s home owner obligations:
Many building insurance policies have specific requirements for homeowners to adequately maintain their property. Failure to meet these requirements can sometimes result in rejected insurance claims. Property maintenance does include addressing blocked or clogged gutters, as well as repairing and replacing rusted and worn roof components. Avoid the possibility of having an insurance claim rejected by making sure you meet your obligations as a property owner.
Should you consider roof restoration?
Many people underestimate the importance of roof maintenance. Many Figtree properties are exposed to strong winds, fallout from trees, and extreme weather events such as drought, intense sun, thunderstorms, and even hail. Before contacting a professional roofing service, you might already be aware of the following signs that may indicate the need for roof restoration:
- Roof leaks.
Large leaks are generally easy to detect, but small roof leaks may only become apparent through discolouration or mould growth in the ceiling or roof space. A single roof leak may be a simple repair, but in the case of more complex damage, it might be more appropriate to consider roof restoration. - Older Roofs.
Tiled roofs usually stay in pretty good condition for about 20-25 years, although this can vary depending on factors such as maintenance and environmental exposure. As your roof ages, repairs become more frequent and costly. In such cases, roof restoration can be a more cost-effective solution over the long term than paying for several smaller repairs. - Inefficient gutters and downpipes.
Gutters that leak, are blocked, or rusted fail to effectively redirect water away from your property. This can result in more significant problems if water penetrates fascia, wall cavities, and ceilings. - Damaged roof tiles.
Terracotta and concrete roof tiles are excellent materials for preventing water from entering your home. However, a single misplaced or broken tile compromises the entire roofing system, and can allow water to seep in. If left unchecked, this can lead to the rotting of structural timber components in your roof. - Damaged valleys.
Roof valleys ensure water flows off your roof and not into it. It’s important to address any deterioration or damage to valleys promptly. It’s also essential to investigate any signs of wear around chimneys, vents, or skylights. - Sagging roofs.
Compromised rafters will result in visible sagging across the roof surface. - Corrosion of fixtures and fastenings.
Rust around the fastenings in your roof is an indicator of water collection, and if left unaddressed, can lead to compromised structural integrity. It’s crucial to replace corroded fixtures as needed. - Mould growth.
Mould is a clear indication of water intrusion in your home. Exposure to mould can have significant negative health effects. It’s important to prevent mould growth to safeguard your health and well-being. - Worn or damaged flashing.
During a roof restoration, we can replace tar or cement flashing found in aged roofs with metal flashing if the current flashing is cracked or deteriorated.
