As a home or business owner, you know roof maintenance is critical. But you might not know about the many roofing services available to help you maintain your property. Because there are many options you can choose from, you need to know what the purpose of each type of service is.

Here are the three most common types of roofing services and what they are used for: 

  • Gutter Services: Gutters redirect water away from your home. If your drains aren’t working properly, water can accumulate on the roof or run straight down into the foundation, resulting in flooding. A full-service roofing company can clean, repair, or replace gutters for you. 
  • roofing servicesRepair: Repair is the second most common type of roofing service. Roofs take quite a beating, between weather, animals, falling tree limbs, and general wear and tear. Shingles, for example, may curl, crack, blow off in the wind, or lose their protective granules. Leaks are another common issue, particularly in areas where shingles are missing or damaged, or around valleys, chimneys, and ice dams. It’s important to have your roof inspected and repaired often to prevent extensive damage and premature roof replacement. 
  • Replacement: Most roofs have a life span of about 20 years. After that point, you’ll likely need a replacement. In some cases, a contractor can install a new layer of material over the existing one. If not, they’ll need to remove the existing materials first. Replacement might also be necessary whenever a roof is damaged extensively, such as in a storm.
