As with most partnerships in life, communication is key to success. This is why you should have an open line of communication with your roof maintenance company. A big part of this is knowing the right questions to ask your roofer. A good roofing contractor understands that you are not an expert and will welcome any query that you might have to gain a better understanding of the roof over your head.
Question #1: Are My Roof Vents Working as They Should?
Keeping your roof well-ventilated is extremely important as it keeps your attic at an optimal temperature year-round. A roof with a faulty or poorly installed ventilation system will need to be repaired more often. If not addressed, it can even lead to premature failure which is why you want to know if your vents are doing their job.
Question #2: How Long Can I Expect My Roof to Last?
Even the most durable roofing system will need to be replaced eventually and knowing when that is essential if you don’t want to be caught unprepared. Remember, a roof replacement is a major endeavor and one that can cost a significant amount of money so you want to know exactly how much your roof can be expected to last.
Question #2: How Are My Gutters Holding Up?
Your rain gutters and downspouts are an essential part of your roofing system. It helps shed excess rainwater and diverts it away from vulnerable areas of your home. Aside from asking about the overall condition of your roof, you should also inquire about the condition of your gutters.
