Yes you do. When is the last time you had maintenance on your roof? Just like your car, your roof needs regular roof maintenance to keep it from leaking.

The average person spends $500-$700 a year on car maintenance and zero on roof maintenance. Your roof protects one of your largest investments and your belongings. Roof leaks and failures are expensive and cost homeowners thousands of dollars on average. A regular roof maintenance schedule will protect your home against these costly repairs and extend the life of your roof.

But what if my roof looks good and isn’t leaking? This is a common assumption people make when thinking about their roof. Just because a roof looks good and isn’t leaking doesn’t mean it wont. A regular roof maintenance program will allow your professional to look for all the areas of potential leaks and fix them.

All roofs are different and there are different types. Tile, shingle and flat roofs are the most common. Looking at all aspects of your roof and assessing what is initially needed is the first and most important step. Once an initial “roof tune-up” is done, regular maintenance check ups and repairs will save you a lot of money in future avoidable repairs.
