Regular roof maintenance is one of the most important steps you can take to prolong the life of your roof and avoid costly repairs. At Southern Shingles, we offer a comprehensive roof maintenance service designed to keep your roof in excellent condition year-round. Whether it’s the harsh summer heat or winter storms in Upstate South Carolina, your roof needs attention to ensure it remains durable and watertight. Here’s what’s included in our roof maintenance service:
Inspecting and Sealing Exposed Nails
One of the most common sources of leaks is exposed nails. Our team will thoroughly inspect your roof and seal any exposed nails to prevent water from infiltrating your home. This simple yet essential step helps to maintain the integrity of your roof and keep moisture from entering your attic or interior spaces.
Checking and Repairing Flashing
Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights is designed to prevent water from getting inside your home. Over time, flashing can become damaged or worn, leaving areas vulnerable to leaks. As part of our maintenance service, we will inspect all flashing for damage and perform any necessary repairs to ensure it is functioning properly.
Shingle Inspection and Replacement
Damaged or missing shingles can compromise your roof’s ability to protect your home from the elements. Our team will carefully examine your shingles for wear and tear, replacing any that are damaged or missing. This helps to preserve the overall integrity of your roof and prevents larger issues from developing.
Sealing Pipe Boots
Pipe boots are the seals around the vent pipes on your roof, and they can deteriorate over time, leading to water leaks. We will inspect and reseal these areas to prevent water from leaking around vent pipes, ensuring that your roof stays watertight and secure.
Cleaning Gutters and Downspouts
Clogged gutters are a major cause of roof damage. When gutters become blocked with leaves, twigs, or other debris, water can back up onto your roof, causing damage to shingles and flashing. We will clean your gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage and prevent water damage from affecting your home.
Applying Roof Sealant or Caulking
Roof sealant and caulking are essential for protecting your roof against leaks, particularly around seams, joints, and vents. We apply sealant or caulking as needed to protect vulnerable areas of your roof. It’s important to note that roof sealant/caulking typically lasts 3-5 years, so regular inspections and maintenance are critical to ensuring your roof remains watertight.
Yearly Roof Maintenance Contracts
To make sure your roof continues to receive the care it needs, we offer yearly roof maintenance contracts. With a maintenance contract, you’ll receive regular inspections and services designed to keep your roof in top condition year-round. By signing up, you can rest easy knowing that your roof is being taken care of by professionals who will catch issues before they become major problems.
