The security of your home begins at the roof. We remember Santa Barbara when it thunders. The same thing happens with the roofs of houses. It is common to paint the house, change the windows, change the tiles in the bathrooms, and renovate the kitchen. But very few people say, “I’ve inspected my roof to see if everything is okay.” We only look at the ceiling when a leak falls in the living room of the house. Or when a stain appears on the ceiling. Despite the fact that specialists recommend inspecting the roof twice a year. To do this you must go up and see if any tile is missing if mold is growing if it has any rot, stains, or holes. It is more feasible to detect any form of deterioration when it is small before it becomes a big problem. It is better to pay for a small repair than to solve major problems.
Roofs, like all things, have a useful life. When they reach these limits, the smart thing is to start preparing for their replacement and prevent it from happening as a result of a break. A planned fix is always cheaper than an emergency fix.
But you may be wondering, how long should the roof of the house last? The truth is that it depends on the materials with which it is made, the climate, and the inclement weather it has suffered.
Here in Florida, a shingle roof should last 12 to 20 years. Asphalt roofs between 15 and 30 years. Metal roofs from 50 to 75 years.
Remember that the roof is an essential structure for the protection of your home. Keeping it in good condition is one way to secure the rest of the house. Be aware of your roof, clean it, repair it, and don’t think about it, only when a problem appears. The security of your home begins at the roof.
