The Importance of Professional Roofing Maintenance

A new roof is a serious investment for any homeowner to make, but it does not end after the install is completed. Ensuring that your roof is regularly maintained can help protect you from expensive issues that can quickly get out of hand if not fixed by a professional. Keep your roof in top condition as long as possible by providing proper roof maintenance and upkeep by FHIA.

Recognize Problems Ahead of Time

Regular roof maintenance ensures that not only are existing problems fixed but that any issues that may arise are identified and solved before they cause harm to your home. Without years of experience identifying and fixing roof problems, homeowners cannot recognize issues within complicated roofing systems. Contacting a team of professionals, like FHIA, to perform a roof inspection and maintain your roof is an easy way to protect your home.

Increases Roof Lifespan

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements, and with that comes typical wear and tear. You can increase your roof’s lifespan by hiring professional roof maintenance to spot problem areas before they become costly. You don’t want to wait until there’s a leak to make the call.

Warranty Requirements

Manufacturer warranties often have requirements for regular roofing maintenance. After investing in a roof with a generous warranty, you’ll want to ensure you do not end up voiding it by not receiving the needed care to ensure your roof does last the intended lifespan.

At FHIA, we pride ourselves on years of experience helping homeowners take care of their roofs and save money in the long run. Contact us to inspect your roof and help you protect your investment, or fill out an online form to learn about our roof replacement options.

Be Storm Ready with a New Roof (Help Protect What Matters)

Hurricane season is already in full swing, and it’s essential to be proactive when it comes to protecting your house from extreme weather. Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against inclement weather. Older or damaged roofs may be more susceptible to damage, so it’s important to ask yourself, ‘Is my roof storm ready?’ Keep reading to find out!

Older roofs are more prone to damage

Older roofs are more likely to have structural issues and pre-existing damage. So when a storm hits, roofs like these can face even more damage and become worse for wear. Some of the damage a defective roof can face during a storm is:

Roof curling
Lifted or removed shingles
Leaks and water damage
Mold and rot
Missing flashing

Before storms can further compromise your roof, it’s vital to get an inspection and consider getting your roof replaced. Getting an inspection now will save you from costly repairs in the future and will also help keep your home safe.

Your insurance may not cover old roofs

Because insurance companies consider a roof’s age and existing damages when providing coverage, some insurance companies do not provide coverage for older roofs. The typical cut-off age for this around 20 years or older. And while some homeowner insurance policies allow for roofs older than 20 years to be covered, the roofs must pass a thorough inspection. If your home’s roof is older than 20 years, it’s a good idea to look into a roof replacement. While it may seem costly now, it’s a smart investment that can help you maintain insurance coverage.

Schedule an inspection today

Roofing experts suggest getting your roof inspected twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. Now is the time to make sure your roof is in shape and can withstand the inevitable rain and with this hurricane season. Scheduling an inspection today can help give you peace of mind this storm season. Not sure how to get started? FHIA is here to help. FHIA offers free roof inspections and roof replacement estimates.

Invest in What Matters Most: Structural Investments To Add Value & Protection During Challenging Times

Whether you’ve owned your home for years and years, or you just purchased a charming older build, you might be wondering what updates you need to make sure your investment is sound. Not only do building codes and regulations change over the years, but the conditions the home has weathered could mean it’s not as strong as it once was. What are some areas to keep in mind? Keep reading to find out!

Your Roof

Because your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements, it only has a lifespan of about 10-15 years depending on the region. Here in Florida, our roofs experience violent, hurricane-force winds almost every year which means you could be looking at replacement much sooner than that.

A compromised roof that goes without repair or replacement, won’t be able to protect your home anymore. The most typical consequence is a roof leak, which will allow water into your ceiling and walls. If the wood starts to rot, you could be on the line for serious and costly repairs. If you’re not sure how old your roof is or you don’t know how many storms it has weathered, it’s a good idea to get a roof inspection.

Replacing your roof will allow you to…

Upgrade to new, sturdier materials now available
Check and fix any weaknesses or leaks
Improve your insulation for better energy efficiency
Elevate your curb appeal
Increase the value of your home

Windows & Doors

Windows and doors are very important for the overall appearance of your home. Replacing your old windows and doors can improve your curb appeal and let more light into your home. But even if you like the way they look, there could be underlying issues that are impacting your home value.

One of the biggest problems with windows and doors is a faulty installation. If you have high-quality windows that were measured and installed wrong, you could still be letting out your nice AC and letting in water, dust, and critters. A window frame that doesn’t fit could also be hurting the structural integrity of your home.

Upgrading your windows and doors to impact-resistant, energy-efficient models could lower your electric bills, improve the security of your home, protect the structural integrity of your home, and even reduce your homeowner’s insurance quote!

Making upgrades to your home is no easy decision, but it can protect your investment and make sure it’s around to protect your family for years to come. Replacing your roof, windows, and doors is one way to make sure your home is structurally sound, safe, and won’t need costly repairs in the near future. Not sure how to proceed? We’re here to help!
