Six Roof Maintenance Myths BUSTED
Ready to bust some of the most common roof maintenance myths we hear in Eugene?
-
Myth 1: “My Roof Only Needs Inspection After a Storm.”
- Reality: While storm damage is a significant concern, regular inspections matter, even during calm periods. Gradual wear and tear, like granule loss and damaged flashing, can lead to costly problems down the line. Our drone inspections are safe, effective, and accurate, allowing us to catch issues before they escalate.
-
Myth 2: “DIY Roof Repairs Can Save Me Money.”
- Reality: DIY roof repairs are a risky gamble. They pose safety hazards and often void your roof’s material warranty. Our certified installers handle repairs correctly so you keep your material warranties and receive the kind of long-term protection that means peace of mind.
-
Myth 3: “All Roof Cleaning Methods Are the Same.”
- Reality: Different roofing materials require different cleaning methods. Improper cleaning can cause significant damage. We use industry-approved techniques to safely and effectively clean your roof, preserving its integrity.
-
Myth 4: “My Roof Warranty Covers Everything.”
- Reality: Roof warranties have limitations. Regular maintenance is often required to keep your warranty valid. At NW Roofing & Siding Pros, we provide warranties you can trust, and we’ll help you understand how to maintain them.
-
Myth 5: “If There’s No Leak, There’s No Problem.”
- Reality: Hidden damage, such as damaged flashing or poor ventilation, can lead to leaks and other costly repairs. Regular inspections often uncover these issues before they cause significant damage.
-
Myth 6: “My roof is new, so I don’t need maintenance.”
- Reality: Even new roofs need maintenance. Proper ventilation and regular inspections are still good ideas for longevity.
