The roof of your house is one of the most important aspects of the property. Not only is it vital to the structural integrity of the residence as a whole but it is also extremely important for the presentation of your house. A regularly painted roof looks fantastic and provides a host of other benefits for your home as well.
5 reasons you should get your roof sprayed:
-
Better defence against damage
Your roof takes a battering from the elements on a regular basis, from blistering heat in the summer months to the cold, wet and rain of winter, your roof is constantly under attack from everything nature can throw against it. A newly painted roof can help stave off erosion, damage from impact and general deterioration due to age.
-
Extend the life expectancy of your roof
A roof that is regularly painted is better protected against the elements and accidental damage as described above. However, the process of spraying the roof also comes with other benefits. For example roofing professionals can survey the state of the roof and recommend if there might be other issues present or fix minor problems such as repairing dislodged shingles or replacing a tile before they become much more serious structural issues. This extends the overall life expectancy of the roof by a significant amount over time as issues are caught early and the roof is always protected by a fresh coat of paint.
-
Save money on roof repairs and replacement
For anyone who has had a leaky roof or any kind of serious elemental damage to repair they know just how expensive serious roofing issues can be. Let’s face it painting a roof every couple of years is a whole lot cheaper than replacing the whole thing. By expanding the life span and catching any minor issues early, painting a roof can save you some serious cash in the long run.
-
Improve the energy efficiency of your home
Another way to save money by having a freshly painted roof is through its properties as a solar reflector. While old roofs are dull and faded a freshly sprayed roof will still have that new home shine that helps reflect solar energy on hot summer days. This can go a long way to keeping the home cooler and saving you money on air-conditioning bills.
-
Increase the value of your home
A properly maintained roof is a huge asset for anyone looking to resell their home. A freshly painted roof looks great and helps to set the tone for the rest of the house straight from the curbside. Aside from the fact that it looks aesthetically pleasing, it also helps allay fears that many buyers have that if they buy a new home, they will have to replace the roof, which can be extremely expensive and scare many buyers off from bidding in the first place.
