Proper maintenance extends your roof's lifespan and prevents costly repairs. Regularly clean gutters to avoid water backups and check for debris that can trap moisture. Inspect your roof for damaged or missing shingles, cracks, or leaks, especially after severe weather. Trim overhanging branches to prevent damage from falling limbs and reduce debris buildup. Remove moss, algae, or lichen growth, as they can deteriorate roofing materials over time. Ensure proper attic ventilation to prevent moisture buildup and prolong roof life. Schedule professional inspections twice a year to identify and address issues early. These steps help maintain your roof's structural integrity and appearance.

The best roofing material for extreme weather depends on the specific conditions. Metal roofing is highly durable and resists heavy rain, snow, and wind, making it suitable for various climates. Slate and tile roofs are excellent for hot, dry regions due to their ability to withstand heat. Asphalt shingles, especially those rated for impact resistance, are good options for moderate climates and can handle storms reasonably well. Flat roofs often use materials like TPO or rubber, designed to handle temperature fluctuations. Ensure your chosen material meets local building codes and is rated for your area’s weather conditions.

Roof replacement involves removing the existing roof down to the deck and installing a new one, while re-roofing adds a new layer of shingles over the existing roof. Roof replacement is necessary for significant damage, structural issues, or when the roof deck is compromised. It provides a fresh start and ensures all problems are addressed. Re-roofing is a quicker, more affordable option for minor wear but isn’t suitable for roofs with multiple layers or structural damage. While re-roofing may be cost-effective short-term, roof replacement often provides better long-term benefits. Consulting a professional helps determine the most appropriate solution.
