Why Is Regular Roof Maintenance Such a Great Idea?

Some homeowners take their roofs for granted and only pay attention to it when something goes wrong. The mentality of “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it” is not a good approach to take when maintaining your roof. Regular preventive maintenance will save you money and help improve your roof’s lifespan and performance.

Maintenance Extends Your Roof’s Lifespan

The best reason to schedule roof maintenance is because it can extend your roof’s service and lengthen the time between roof replacements. With regular maintenance, you can expect an asphalt shingle roof to last for decades. This allows you to get the most out of your roof replacement project. A roofer will be able to spot roofing issues early and prevent them from turning into roof leaks that may compromise the integrity of the roof.

Maintenance Protects Your House

Regular maintenance will also help prevent structural damage to your house and protect your interior from water damage. Roof leaks can damage the underlayment, roof decking and the wooden parts of the roofing structure. Even a small roof leak can cause damage that’s expensive to repair if the leak is left unattended for a long time. As one of the most experienced roofers in our area, we highly recommend scheduling regular roof maintenance.

Maintenance Saves Money

When professionals maintain your roof, they will carefully evaluate its condition, note down any problem areas and then make recommendations on how to repair current issues and prevent problems in the future. In general, the smaller a problem is and the earlier it is caught, the less it costs to fix. Regular roof maintenance can save you a lot of money over the lifetime of your roof.

We had significant hail damage due to the May 2016 hail storm in Cary, and warded off all the storm chasers that came through our area for 2 months after. I called Scro’s Roofing after the insurance adjusted had written off the roof, and they worked us into their busy schedule. Amazing job done by an amazing and hard-working crew. I was impressed by the way they used tarps to protect the landscaping around the house, and Patricia was pretty particular about cleaning up after the crew. Danny was a pleasure to work with, and he provided several improvements to our roof like a installing a chimney cricket and ridge vents. We used Moire black shingles and the roof looks...

In life you get what you pay for and this is certainly true with Scro’s Roofing. There are so many “fly be night” roofing companies out there who do not have the long standing customer service and support that a local roofing company can offer. Everyone should take the time to educate themselves about the roofing process and the track record of the company, as this is a very larger investment and an area where you don’t want to cut corners. The team at Scro’s Roofing provided me with many educational links and never pressured me into a sale. They wanted to ensure that I fully understood the process and trusted that I would make an intelligent decision. This sharing...

Scro’s Roofing installed a new roof on our home and everything went exactly as planned and scheduled. The installation crew covered all our plants and deck when removing the roof and then cleaned up perfectly when the job was done. We were kept informed all along the job from start to finish so we knew how and when everything would be done. I’ve never experienced a contractor, a company or an owner like Danny who worked with us on every detail. Further, we had gotten several other quotes with Scro’s being the best. This project couldn’t have been done more smoothly… We greatly appreciate Danny the owner and Sarah our scheduling contact. They both were there for all and every...

We just had our roof done by Scro’s Roofing, and we are very happy with the results. Danny and his office were very helpful in answering all of my questions. I did a good bit of research beforehand, and after talking with Danny, I had a lot of confidence that they are up to date on best practices and latest materials. In particular, I liked that they hand nail the shingles, use a synthetic underlayment instead of tar paper, install a drip edge, and provide a 10-year labor warranty. The thing about getting a new roof is that most people may not find out whether the installer did a bad job or used inferior materials for 5-10 years when they...

The big hail storm of May 2, 2016 did extensive damage to our roof (and Leaf-Guard gutters as well). Our insurance company appraised the roof and said it all needed to be replaced. My first choice was again Scro’s Roofing. I was not about to use one of the “storm chasers” that descended on our neighborhood like carpetbaggers from who knows where. Danny, the owner of Scro’s Roofing looked up my record from seven years ago and was able to give me an estimate almost immediately from the information he already had on file. Their estimate was within a couple percent of what our insurance had already written a check which made the decision to go with Scro’s Roofing again...

I had a great experience working with Danny and his team. Danny even recommended a less expensive roofing product based on our needs. Sarah was so helpful and accommodating throughout the process. I wish all home repairs/renovations were this easy and professional. A wonderful company to work with!
