Benefits of Roof Restoration
Property maintenance is costly, but there are a several benefits to roof restoration. It’s is one of those investments that offer both a visual improvement and a practical outcome. The main benefits of investing in roof restoration include:
Increasing the value of your property:
Property owners in Woonona who plan on selling their homes choose to have us do their roof restoration because it can bump up a property valuation. Professional roof restoration can transform a home’s appearance, making it look years younger. It also boosts confidence in potential buyers. Making sure your roof is in good condition can avoid potential delays or issues with building and pest inspections that can occur once your house goes on the market.
Reduce your energy bills:
Gaps in roof tiles can result in loss of warm air from your home. With rising energy costs in NSW, it’s financially and environmentally smart to ensure your home is as insulated as possible. We recommend you use a professional roofer to conduct a roof inspection.
Peace of mind through extreme weather:
Weather extremes have affected southeast NSW in recent years and brought underlying roof issues to light in several Northern Illawarra homes. Be confident that your roof is structurally sound, impermeable, and functioning as intended, when the next major storm cell hits.
Pest Control:
Wildlife, such as rodents, possums, birds, and even snakes that decide to inhabit your roof can cause damage and result in unpleasant odours, and disease. It’s easier to maintain your roof and prevent unwelcome guests from entering than to remove them after they settle in.
Extend the life of your roof:
If you plan to own your home for an extended period, roof restoration really is an investment rather than an expense.
Meet your insurer’s home owner obligations:
Building insurance policies have specific clauses that require homeowners to adequately maintain their property. Failure to meet these requirements can sometimes result in rejected insurance claims. Maintaining your property includes tending to blocked gutters, and repairing or replacing worn roof components. Avoid having an insurance claim rejected and make sure you meet your obligations as a property owner!
Is roof restoration the right option?
Most people don’t see the importance of roof maintenance. Homes in Woonona, Bulli and the Northern Illawarra get exposed to strong coastal winds, fallout from the leafy escarpment, and extreme weather such as drought, intense sun, thunderstorms, and even hail. The following signs indicate roof restoration could be right for your property:
- Roof leaks.
Major leaks are generally easy to locate, but small roof leaks sometimes only become apparent through gradual discolouration of walls or mould growth in the ceiling or roof space. Some roof leaks are a simple repair, but in the case of more complex damage, it might be worth considering roof restoration. - Old Roofs.
Tiled roofs often 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 property ages, repairs become more frequent and unfortunately, more costly. Roof restoration can be a cost-effective solution over the long term, as opposed to paying for several smaller repairs. - Inefficient gutter systems.
Leaking or blocked gutters and downpipes can’t effectively redirect water away from your property. If water penetrates fascia, wall cavities, and ceilings, it can cause a lot of damage. - Broken roof tiles.
In Australia, terracotta and concrete roof tiles are excellent materials for roofing. However, a single dislodged or damaged tile can compromise the whole roof system, allowing water to seep in. Over time, this can lead to rotting of structural timber components in your roof. - Damaged roof valleys.
Roof valleys keep water flowing off of your roof and not into it. It’s important to address deterioration or damage to valleys promptly. It’s also essential to investigate any signs of wear around chimneys, vents, or skylights. - Rusty fixtures and fastenings.
Visible rust around roof fastenings indicates water collection, and can lead to compromised structural integrity. - Mould growth.
Exposure to mould can have some pretty nasty health effects. Mould growth indicates that moisture is getting into your home. - Worn or damaged flashing.
During the roof restoration process, we can replace tar or cement flashing found in aged roofs with metal flashing, if the existing flashing is cracked or deteriorating.
