6 Tips for Roof Maintenance Los Angeles

Tips on Roof Repairs

Most homeowners only notice the roof when it’s a severe storm and water is gushing out from areas on the roof. As a homeowner myself, I rarely pay much attention to the most important part of my house; the area that is designed to protect me against nature.  Their human natures to forget what works and focus on the areas that are not doing so well. In order to keep this human nature going, we have a few tips to maintain your roof, so when things do get bad you have a solid roof that won’t crack, leak or fall apart.


Here are your 6 Tips for your Roofing 

1. Inspecting your roof is the only way you would know if the roof is in good or bad condition and taking the time to go over the roof or have professional asses the area will help you avoid thousands of dollars in damages if it turns out to be in bad shape.

2. Patch what needs to be patched. A small patch can ensure your comfort during a heavy storm. Los Angeles is known for one of the worst heatwaves and most roofing materials don’t last very long with our type of extreme weather. Check the area and consider if this material is worth the patch, or a replacement would be more efficient and last longer.

3. Insulating your roof can help you protect it longer than anything else. Schedule a free estimate and learn how it can help you.

4. Seek financial assistance for entire roof replacement. There are options available to fund your project as roof replacement falls under keeping your home energy efficient. PACE programs are available to help you stay on top of the repairs and for emergency replacement.

5. Choosing a responsible contractor for your roof replacements or repairs is crucial. There are many roofing companies out there that do work that is subpar and barely pass inspection from city officials.  Hire the right contractor for your roof replacement. Experience counts and a trusted contractor with experience and a full crew to get the job done right is the difference between a successful roof replacement.

6. Last concern I felt like is rarely address is the rodent problem that homeowners rarely know they have. Roof is a relatively flat surface where rodents can run around and scavenge for food. Raccoons, possums and rats can eat through roofing materials, cause small cracks, and more. Even cats in the neighborhood can often chase rodents up the roof and do havoc without a homeowner’s knowledge.  An roof inspection can reveal rodent problem among other things.
