Dunn Loring is quite a spectacular place to live with a small town feel, yet it encompasses all the amenities. It has a long and interesting history dating back into the 19th century. Many of our homes have been here for decades. One factor that has spanned the centuries is the effect the weather has on our homes. It makes no difference if some roofs have not been repaired in many years. Even the newer homes have to deal with the effects of the elements.  Roof repair is a necessary part of home maintenance as a strategy to combat the effects of time.

We are fortunate to have plenty of sun with 200 days a year, but sunlight is one of the toughest issues your roof must handle. The UV rays cause the adhesives in your shingles and roofing compounds to break down and become brittle. Even with the best roofing materials with high resistance to the sun, there is a level of regular maintenance involved. As the sealants shrink, they pull away from the roof and flashings, leaving seams and gaps where the roof is cut through, exposed to the rain. In our area, 43.6 inches of rain falls every single year, well over the average for the United States. That adds up to gallons of water leaking into your house with every storm.

Roof Repair Needs

When you hire experienced roof repair contractors, you have a greater historical advantage – years of wisdom gained from all the possible problems with a roof!  Why does it matter to give all this attention to your roof? The simple answer is that by repairing your roof, you are preventing a host of problems down the road. When your roof develops a small leak, a chain reaction begins. When water contacts materials that are meant to be dry, it leaves a path of destruction. Rot, corrosion, mildew and toxic black mold are the result. With each passing month, the cost of going through a roof repair is going to increase, and that means the longer you wait, the more you pay.

The Roof, the Soldier

Your roof is an unsung hero. It gets none of the praise but it never stops working. When a major rainstorm comes through, the roof takes the brunt of it. When there is a storm, it is usually the first to take on the savagery of the wind. Your roof fights the good fight for you, but it is a losing battle. Eventually, Mother Nature will win and defeat your roof. It’s a simple fact of home ownership.

Just One Shingle

Think of the roof as a suit of armor. The shingles are the plates that protect the roof, and therefore protect your home. The problem is that a wind storm can come along and take just one shingle away. That may not seem like a big deal, it is just one shingle out of dozens, but that is how it starts. Now, there is a weak point in your roof. The next wind storm takes a couple more shingles, and the rain soaks into the roof just a little bit more. The problem continues to get worse as time goes on until your roof is severely damaged, the water is leaking in every time it rains and you are faced with a huge bill for roof repair.

Don’t let that happen. Our roof repair contractors are keenly aware of the need to avert a crisis. The rain will always come to Dunn Loring, and that means you will always have to deal with those maintenance issues. Regular inspections and repair will add years to the life of your roof and increase the energy efficiency of your home,
