The Essential Steps for Effective Monroe Roof Maintenance
When you sign up for a roof maintenance plan with Golden Roofing, one of our professional roofing contractors will inspect your house twice a year, addressing the following to ensure proper maintenance:
Roof Cleaning
Roof cleaning is essential to maintaining the integrity of your roof and gutter.
Fallen leaves, sticks, and other debris can accumulate over time. This can create a dam that causes water to back up underneath the shingles. Removing debris from your gutters is also important, as the water can build up in your gutters and weigh them down.
Inspect Roof Pipe Boots, Flashing, and Ventilation Areas
Pipe boots cover vents and pipes of your roofing system. During the colder months, the plastic material can crack, allowing water to seep in. Cracked pipe boots are one of the most common reasons behind leaks.
Flashing is installed around chimneys, skylights, and vents to prevent water from seeping into these areas. When flashing becomes loose, it can allow water to enter into these openings.
Your Monroe roofing contractor will check the roof’s vents, turbines, and fans for any obstructions. If your attic isn’t properly ventilated, it can lead to the deterioration of the plywood decking adhesive, which can compromise the shingle installation.
Look for Signs of Animals
Attics are the perfect safe haven for animals. Unfortunately, when animals make themselves comfortable in your attic, they can chew on wiring, which can lead to a fire.
Look for Loose or Missing Caulking
Caulking on the roof’s exposed nailheads prevents water from penetrating. If the caulk around these areas has become loose or is missing, it can lead to leaks and water damage.
DIY vs. Professional Roofing Contractor: Choosing the Right Approach for Monroe Roof Maintenance
Roofing contractors have a better eye for diagnosing areas that could become more significant problems down the road when performing roof maintenance. Additionally, having your roofing system inspected by a professional isn’t just highly recommended; it’s mandatory for most homeowner insurance contracts.
Our roofing specialists recommend investing in bi-annual roofing inspections.
This helps ensure that the roof is prepared for any severe weather that the summer and winter months may bring. It’s also recommended to schedule an inspection following a major storm or other extreme weather event.
Understanding the Key Elements of Monroe Roof Maintenance
When you choose Golden Roofing for your Monroe home or commercial property, you will receive more than just a free roof inspection. Our customers that sign up for our roof maintenance plan also receive minor repair work, gutter cleaning, mended flashing, and more.
Regular Roof Inspections
Many homeowners don’t realize that the manufacturer’s warranty on your roof can be voided if you don’t have regular, professional roof inspections. Customers who sign up for the roof maintenance plan at Golden Roofing will receive annual roof inspections, ensuring that your roof is in proper condition.
Additionally, you don’t need to worry about scheduling the roof inspection for your home or commercial property. One of our staff members will call you to schedule your inspection when it’s time.
At Golden Roofing, we address the following elements:
- Damaged or broken shingles
- Accumulated debris
- Missing or damaged chimney caps and caulk
- Rusted flashing
- Moss or other growth buildups
- Cracked boots
- Gutter blockage
- Weak vent pipes
Identify and Address Minor Roof Repair
Golden Roofing strives to provide same-day services when we find minor roof damage during our inspection services. However, if that is not possible, we will ensure your roof is tarped to avoid further damage or leaks.
Tarping your roof is also essential for any claims you file with your insurance company. To qualify for roof damage claims, your insurance company must know that the proper steps were taken to prevent further damage.
When one of our roofing experts performs roof repair services, you can rest assured that the repairs will be made in a timely manner and will only use the highest quality materials.
Cleaning and Clearing Debris
During your annual roof inspection, your roofer will also clean up the roof and gutters. When fallen leaves and other debris accumulate on your roof or in your gutters, it can cause water to build up. When water can’t flow properly away, it can become heavy and weaken both the roof and gutters.
Trust that our professional roofers will clean up any construction materials out of your grass and driveway, as well!
What to Expect From Residential and Commercial Roofing Maintenance Contracts
Generally speaking, to uphold your roof’s warranty, scheduling routine maintenance checks is mandatory. You could need significant repairs if you fail to have your commercial buildings or residential roofing inspected.
If you want to remain in good standing with your roof manufacturer’s warranty, a roof maintenance contract can remove the headache of remembering to schedule those necessary roof inspections.
At Golden Roofing, when you sign a roofing maintenance contract, one of our licensed and insured contractors will inspect your roof twice a year. Our contractor will search for any areas that could need minor repairs and issues that could create leaks in the future.
If we discover any problems that the insurance company doesn’t cover, we provide a free estimate for repair services.
How Regular Roof Maintenance Can Help You Avoid Major Roof Repairs
Hiring Golden Roofing for your residential or commercial roof inspection contract can help you avoid major roof repairs in the future.
Routine roof inspections can help with the following:
Prevent Roof Leaks
Roof inspections can catch a weak area on your roof before creates water damage. While inspections are recommended twice a year, checking your roof after a major downpour can also help prevent larger water damage and leaks.
During your roof inspection, our contractor will also look for areas that appear to gather large amounts of water, which can also lead to bigger problems later. Pooling water is also a problem for commercial buildings since many of their roofs are flat. When water can’t flow from the roof, your commercial roof could swell or crack in the cooler months.
Avoid Significant Repair Cost
When Golden Roofing performs roof maintenance on your Monroe home or commercial property, you save money in the long run. Maintaining your roof is much less expensive than it is to pay for major repairs. You’ll also extend the lifespan of your roof with routine inspections, which can save your home or business money.
Curb Appeal
When your home or business has a poorly maintained roof, it shows.
Damaged shingles and overgrown moss can make your home look like it belongs in a horror movie and can decrease your property value if you want to sell.
Keeping your business’ roof is critical since it’s one of the first things your customers see. A bad-looking roof on your business could cause customers to avoid your property.
Signs Your Roof Needs Immediate Maintenance
If you notice any of the signs listed below, your roof may need emergency repairs.

Roof Leaks
Water leaking into your attic and through your roof is a sign that you need a roof repair. Leaks could mean your roof has holes or cracks that could become larger if not addressed quickly.
Sagging Roof
If your roof appears to be sagging, your roof either has too much weight on it, water damage, too many shingles, or a weakened structure.
Clogged Gutters
Your roof and gutter system work hand in hand. When your gutters become clogged from fallen leaves and other debris, they keep water from flowing, which can cause water to back up and create roof leaks. When water can’t escape from the roof and gutter, it can also create the perfect environment for pests to thrive. Roof and gutter cleaning is important in maintaining your roof’s life span.
Broken or Damaged Shingles
While shingles help make your roof aesthetically pleasing, they serve a much greater purpose. Ignoring broken or damaged shingles can lead to roof leaks and other damages later on.
High Energy Bills
When your roof is damaged, it can cause warm or cool air to escape, which can cause your HVAC system to overwork to keep your home at the desired temperature. You may need a roof repair if you notice higher-than-normal energy bills and your AC works properly.
Growth on The Roof
Moss, mold, or mildew can lead to your roofing system materials rotting. When you notice any growth on your roof, call the experts at Golden Roofing. We’ll send out one of our contractors to provide proper roof cleaning or replace the roofing problem to prevent further growth and damage.
Visible Light
If you have light coming inside and it’s not from a skylight, your roof could have cracks, gaps, or holes.
