Why your roof restoration is so much more than good looks…

There are many reasons people decide to restore their roofs. Some choose to restore because they are having issues with leaks. Others feel their roof is looking tired and worn and needs to be updated. While some notice their bedding holding the ridges in place is holding on by a thread. 

Roof Leaks

Often the damage is already done by the time you find a roof leak. Occasionally, this may be after a bad storm where excessive water has found a broken tile and ran down into the roof cavity. This may then cause permanent damage to the plasterboard on your ceiling. At best, it will dry out and no damage will be caused, yet even so, the broken tile is best to be changed.

Leaks may be a result of broken tile/s, blocked valleys, cracked bedding or ridge capping. All of which will be dressed during your roof restoration to prevent any future leaks.

Adding Value To Your Home

Curb appeal is everything. Especially if your roof is over 50% of your home’s visibility from the street, depending on the angle and the hight of your house. Aside from making your roof sound, a roof restoration is the quickest way to add value to your home along with being the most cost-effective way to refresh the exterior of your home. 

There is a wide variety of roofing colours available restoring your roof with Brisco Roofing. When choosing a colour it is best to keep in mind the 60-30-10 rule.

Breaking Down Bedding 

When you look up at your ridges, is the bedding showing signs of cracks? We have seen bedding so broken down that you can lift the ridge with no effort. It is just sitting there on your roof. In a strong wind storm, a flying ridge can cause a lot of damage! Every 10 or so years we suggest having your roof inspected to ensure no maintenance needs to be carried out. 

Bare tiles 

This reason is often overlooked when looking up. Over time your roof coating wears down, eventually revealing a bare concrete tile. If left the tile will continue to weather and break down weakening the tile and as a result, you will find your roof tiles easily fracture. We have seen roofs where the tiles are too far gone to restore and water damage is extensive. This results in a necessary (and very expensive) re-roof. 

Every 10 years your roof should be inspected. Leaving your roof for 15-20 years may end up costly!
