Adelaide Homeowners, Is It Time for a New Roof?
There are various categories of home renovations, some more exciting than others. While fixing your roof might not exactly be considered the most thrilling work you can have done on your home, it is essential. Roof replacement, Adelaide homeowners have found, is not always necessary as a roof restoration might do the trick. However, sometimes there’s simply no way to avoid completely stripping and replacing your roof.
Roof Replacement: Homeowners Wonder If It’s the Only Way
When it comes to your roof, you generally have two options; restore or replace it. Roof Restoration generally involves a good cleaning, fixing any minor problems and then re-coating the roof. This can be a great option for roofs that have minor damage as it can extend its life for as much as 20 – 30 years, depending on how old your roof is in the first place, and it will definitely make it look much better.
However, there are situations where roof painting and restoration isn’t enough. If you have too many roof leaks, or the material has become excessively porous, has rusted and kinked or has surpassed its “expiry date”, then your only option will be roof replacement. Adelaide homeowners know that the longer they wait to replace the roof, the more damage the rest of the property is likely to incur, especially if the roof is leaking. So, the faster you get your roof rebuilt, the less money it will cost you in the long run since you won’t be repairing water damage and other problems that might arise.
If your metal roof is becoming rusty, loose roofing sheets flap in the wind or leaks appear on your ceilings, replacing with modern Colorbond® roofing not only fixes the problem – it adds value to your property.
With tiled roofs, sometimes the condition is beyond practical restoration and a re-roof is needed. Replacement with cement or terra cotta tiles is an option or your roof can alternatively be re-roofed using Colorbond® roofing.
Due to the original design specification, a tiled roof can be re-roofed with tiles or metal. However, an original metal roof normally can only be re-roofed using metal replacement. This is due to differences in the roof truss specifications and the fact that tiles are heavier then metal sheets.
Delaying the Need for Roof Replacement: Homeowners Learn the Importance of Roof Maintenance
In some situations, roof replacement is unavoidable. However, once you replace your roof, if you employ some minimal maintenance, you will be able to keep the roof in great condition and delay the need for a roof restoration or replacement.
The good news is that you don’t have to be up on your roof every other day, tinkering away. A little bit of general maintenance now and then will keep your roof in great condition and you won’t have to spend a fortune. After all, roof replacement cost is not cheap, so any step you can take to minimize the need will help you save money in the long run.
If you can see any lichen or moss build-up or the presence of any other organic growth, you need to remove it because it can damage the roofing materials if left alone. Pressure cleaning is the usual method to remove these growths.
