Your roof may be protecting your home from the elements, but that does not mean it is not damage-proof. It is subject to wear and tear caused by constant exposure to the sun’s heat and precipitation all year round, which is why you need to keep it in good condition. Unfortunately, misconceptions about roof maintenance continue to surface that could give you the wrong ideas about it.

Myth: You Can Repair Any Roof Damage on Your Own

It might be tempting to do it, but repairing damaged flashing or replacing missing shingles on your own is never a good idea. Regardless of the extent of the damage that needs to be fixed, always rely on the expertise and experience of the professionals to handle whatever problem ails your roof. You don’t want to risk voiding your roof’s warranty by DIYing repairs.

Myth: Maintenance Is a Waste of Money

Having your roof maintained at least twice a year comes at a cost, but it is an investment you should do. Getting your roof checked by roofing experts gives you peace of mind that it is working as intended and performing at its best all year round.

Myth: A Modernized Roof Doesn’t Require Roof Maintenance

Manufacturing innovations paved the way for more durable and stable roofing systems, yet they still have the same function as any regular roof. This means that any type of damage done to them would be just the same. Therefore, new and old roofs still require proper maintenance.

Don’t let these myths hinder you from keeping your roof in top shape. Roof maintenance is a preventative measure that will not benefit you only for the short term, but for years to come as well.
