How to Extend the Life of Your Roof

After investing in a new roof, it’s only natural to want that roof to last for years to come. Although the type of material you choose for your roof will affect your roof’s longevity the most, there are some measures you can take to extend the life of your roof.

Have a Professional Inspect Your Roof Periodically

Much like other systems in your home, your roof needs a periodic inspection. A roofing professional will come to your home and assess the state of your roof. At Intelligent Design, when we do an inspection, we look for common problems and problems that are often overlooked. From ice dams to loose nails to missing shingles, we want to make sure that your roof is in tip-top shape. whether you just got it or you’ve had it a few years.

Get Roof Repairs as Soon as Possible

Another way you can extend the life of your new roof is to ensure you get repairs when you need them. Whether you are experiencing a small leak or you find a crack, allowing your roof to remain in this state will only make matters worse. In the instance of a water leak, a delay can lead to the growth of mold and moss, which can potentially be a health hazard for your entire family. By getting your roofing repairs in a timely manner you reduce the chances that your roof repair will be exacerbated.

Have the Right Type and Amount of Insulation in Your Attic

Have you ever been in your attic in the summer months? If you have, then you know how scorching hot your attic can get on a relatively cool day. Can you imagine being up there when it’s blistering hot outside? Well, your roofing system is there every day protecting your home. One way you can ensure it lasts for years to come is to have the right type and amount of insulation in your attic. If you don’t, then your shingles will become worn and dated from enduring high temperatures on either side.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had Stan and Alex climb our home and do a very thorough inspection of the hail damage on the roof and steel siding.  They were honest and upfront and told me that we had little to no damage which was confirmed by the insurance adjuster.  I admire their integrity and value their professional approach.  They documented everything and left me a folder full of data to compare to if I was to get another storm.  I will be calling them once that happens!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I toured the Intelligent Design facility in Maple Grove, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Seeing their full operation, including the paint shop and cabinet shop, really highlights the quality and craftsmanship they pour into every detail. What truly sets them apart, though, is the team. I had the pleasure of speaking with Stan (who co-owns the business with his wife) and Val, one of the project managers. They are incredibly solid, professional, and genuine people who clearly take pride in their work. I would definitely use them for my own future projects and highly recommend them for yours as well. If you’re looking for a professional team that delivers top-tier results with a personal touch, this is the place!
