ROOF REPAIR DALLAS

YOUR ULTIMATE ROOF MAINTENANCE GUIDE

To get the best results from your roofing system, you will have to do some housekeeping first. Whether you are working on summer roof maintenance or winter care, you should always start by taking care of the debris. When you hire our team of professional roofing contractors from 911 Exteriors, we will first clean your roofing system and clear all debris away from your home. We do not just pay attention to your shingles, but we make sure to pay attention to all essential components of your roof.

Given below are a few features of your roof that we will keep a close eye on

• Installations
• Skylights
• Downspouts
• Solar panels

As we get ready to start cleaning your roof, it is essential to eliminate any clutter. Picking up all the leaves on your roof and fallen branches are crucial to get the best results. Regular upkeep of your roof should be a normal part of your roof maintenance. If you feel like you have a lot of debris on your roof more frequently, then it’s probably a better idea for you to get rid of all the unnecessary vegetation.

CLEAR ALL EXCESS VEGETATION

It would be best if you got rid of all overhanging tree limbs that give your roof a surplus of leaves. If you notice that a tree has a dead branch that is just waiting to fall, you need to get rid of that too. In case you do not feel safe clearing the vegetation all by yourself or if it is hard to reach, you need to call for a professional to do it for you.

GUTTER MAINTENANCE

Next in the process comes gutter cleaning. Digging out all the leaves and other debris from your gutters is a crucial step to increase the lifespan of your roof. Anything that blocks water from flowing through your gutters needs to be removed to get a perfectly functional roofing system. When your roof’s gutters are clean, water can freely flow through them.

INSPECTING YOUR DOWNSPOUTS

Our team will make sure that all rainwater can pass through your downspouts quickly and efficiently. If water is being interrupted, it is because you may have some plant material that still needs to be cleared from your gutters. Next time it rains, you need to see if your downspouts are functioning adequately. Make sure that all the rainwater is going away from your house. If you notice some drips happening after rain, there could be an issue with your downspouts. Get in touch with 911 Exteriors immediately to get all your roofing problems looked after.

MONITORING MOSS

Most homeowners do not seem to understand how bad moss can be for their roofing system. The natural look of moss may make your home look more appealing, but you need to remember that moss can be damaging to your home’s roofing system. If you allow moss to grow on your roof, it can damage all kinds of roofing material with time. Concrete, asphalt, and wooden roofs, all are at risk of damage from excessive moss.

WHY IS MOSS UNHEALTHY FOR YOUR ROOF?

If given enough time, moss will start to work its way through the cracks and shingles of your roof. It tends to lift your roof’s shingles up and out of position, allowing various elements like rainwater and moisture to get inside your home. Another major disadvantage of moss growth is that it holds a lot of water. If you allow soggy moss to sit on your home’s roofing system for months, then leaks and damage to your roofing materials are sure to follow.

So how do we treat moss? It is simple; we scrub it away for you! Hiring a professional from 911 Exteriors means that you don’t have to spend extra time out of your busy schedule trying to scrub off moss from your roof. Our team will also use special chemicals that help combat and prevent moss’ growth on your roof.

REGULAR ROOF INSPECTION

So far, we have told you how we clean your roof and monitor your downspouts. After your roof has been cleaned, we will do a thorough inspection to see any signs of damage, such as hail storm damage. The purpose of getting regular roof maintenance is to find out any issues or problems now before they become a bigger problem to deal with. Get in touch with 911 Exteriors to perform a professional roof inspection in Dallas. Our team is familiar with all the different types of roofing systems and know what to expect. This is why it is easier for us to find out if something needs to be repaired.

Professionals suggest that you should get your roof inspected for damages at least once a year. We will not just take a look at your roof but also check your home’s ventilation system to see if it is working correctly.

GETTING YOUR ROOF REPAIRED

If we notice anything that needs our attention after the inspection, we can handle it right away for you. Even if you leave small roof problems unattended, they can quickly grow into a significant nightmare.

Given below are some of the most common types of roof repairs:

• Repairing cracked shingles
• Repairing loose shingles
• Replacing any missing shingles
• Replacing valley flashing

Your roofing system uses valley flashing to protect your home from water. Any cracks or corrosion can allow water to seep in and damage your home. If your valley flashing has lost its integrity, you need to get it replaced immediately. Besides valley flashing, your home also features other types of flashing to help you fight against water. For example, if your house has a roof vent or a chimney, it will also have flashings to prevent water from entering.

These are a few of many tricks that professionals use to help you maintain your roofing system. Most homeowners believe that it is better to take a DIY approach.

Even though it may seem tempting to fix the roof of your home all by yourself to save some money, we suggest you not to do it unless you have some experience. A home roofing project needs professional skills and on-field experience to get the job done right on the first attempt. A roofing project requires you to stand and maneuver around your roof at certain angles, which may be a risky task for someone who does not have any previous experience. Besides that, the chances are that you may end up damaging your roof even more in the process of fixing it.

To help you better understand, here are a few advantages you get from hiring a team of professional roofing experts from 911 Exteriors in Dallas, TX.

QUALIFICATION AND KNOWLEDGE

When it comes to maintenance, repairs, or replacement of your home’s roof, there cannot be a better person to get your roofing project done than someone who has the most relevant experience. Here at 911 Exteriors, we hire only the best and most appropriate experts who are professionally trained to be the best at what they do. This extended qualification allows all our professionals to learn everything there is to know about different types of roofing systems along with years’ worth of knowledge and experience. This allows our professionals to identify all problems with your roofing system at once and assure you of getting the job done correctly.

COST EFFICIENCY

Most homeowners choose to hire a cheap technician or a general handyman to do maintenance and repairs of their roof to save some extra money while getting the job done. What they often fail to understand is that when an unskilled professional works on your home’s roofing system, you can never be sure about how long it will last. If you get your roof serviced by someone who’s not a professional, you will notice the same problems coming up again and again, robbing you of your money.

Hiring a professional roofing expert from 911 Exteriors will ensure that all your repairs are done professionally and correctly so that you don’t have to keep stressing about any recurring expenses of continually getting your roof’s leaks repaired. A roof repaired or installed by a professional from 911 Exteriors is more likely to stay perfect for a longer time, which will help you save all the extra money you would have otherwise spent on calling for repairs throughout the year.
