Roof Maintenance Reduces Overall Costs & Extends Lifespan

Residential roof maintenance is often overlooked because it’s kind of hidden from sight. But everyone knows the value of regular home maintenance, whether it’s for your furnace, air conditioner, garden, or yard. Your roof is no different, and arguably even more important.

It is consequential to maintain your residential roof because your house is both a shelter for you and your family, as well as a valuable investment that requires ongoing attention.

Your roof is your first line of defense against the outside elements, especially in Northwest Illinois and Northeast Iowa. Rain, snow, extreme hot and cold temperatures, hail… your roof takes a beating year-round. Roofs get dirty. Shingles deteriorate. Tree limbs fall and make small puncture holes that allow water leaks.

Neglecting your roof maintenance can lead to structural damage and compromised safety. If addressed too late, repairs can be costly. Not to mention, reduces your property’s value.

Proper maintenance ensures your roof is in its best condition, extends its lifespan, and protects the underlying structural integrity of your home.

5 Benefits of Maintaining Your Roof

PROTECTS YOUR HOME FROM THE WEATHER
Over time, constant exposure to Mother Nature can cause significant damage to your roof, including leaks, rot, mold, and compromised structural integrity. Regular roof maintenance ensures that minor issues are promptly spotted and repaired before they escalate into major problems, safeguarding your home and preventing more costly damage.

EXTENDS ROOF LIFESPAN
Routine roof inspections and maintenance help identify and address potential issues early so they don’t become more serious problems later which can severely shorten the useful lifespan of your residential roof.

IMPROVES ENERGY EFFICIENCY
A well-maintained roof plays an important role in continuing a comfortable indoor temperature, humidity, and reducing energy costs. Over time, wear and tear, inadequate insulation, or damaged seals can compromise your roof’s energy efficiency.

PREVENTS WATER DAMAGE & MOLD GROWTH
A leaky roof can cause extensive water damage to your home’s interior, causing compromised ceilings, walls, flooring, and even electrical. This becomes a breeding ground for mold to thrive which can pose serious health risks. Regular roof maintenance helps prevent leaks by identifying damaged shingles, deteriorated flashing, or clogged gutters. Addressing these issues promptly mitigates the risk of water damage and mold growth, protecting both your residence and your family’s well-being.

PRESERVES PROPERTY VALUE
A well-maintained roof improves your home’s curb appeal and reassures potential buyers that your structure is in good condition.

Elevated Roofing Verified Company Reviews

Chad Weirup

This it long overdue. The crew completed the work back in November. We had some storm damage back in April, and it took some time for the insurance company to get adjusters out. I had another company come out and look at the job first, but they didn't seem interested in the job, so I called some friends and was told to reach out to Elevated. They had a great experience with them. I had also seen them doing work in my neighborhood, so I gave them a call. I talked to Erika, and she said she would have Matt get back ahold of me tomorrow. As promised, Matt called me back the next morning, and within a day, he was out inspecting the job. He was very knowledgeable. He went into all the facets of what it would take to complete the job and that he would have the job done in 2 days. I was not expecting them to be able to start the job before the spring of 2025, but to my surprise, Matt said they would be able to get it done before winter. I was not sure how they would have it done so quickly. The job was 54sq. Matt assured me the he would have two crews and his leads JT, and Colton would keep them moving and on time. On the first day of work, the crews showed up promptly ready to start at 7am. I met with JT, and Colton. I was impressed with their knowledge and ability to get the crews started, and by the end of the first day, they had all the tear-off completed. They did a good job at keeping the debris picked up from the yard. They did a great job keeping me informed as to the progression. They even came to get me when they found OSB that needed to be replaced. I was expecting that to cause a delay, but they went out that day and picked up the materials needed to keep the job on track. I believe that is what allowed them to get the job done on time. I was very impressed with the level of care they took to make sure my yard and the area around the house was thoroughly cleaned from any debris. I can't say enough good things about Erika, Matt, JT, Colton, and everyone there. They even took care of all for the insurance stuff. Another positive thing was the accuracy of the price estimate. If you are in the market for a new roof, reach out to them.

we had a small roof repair that was beyond our ability to fix. From quote to complete repair, it was 2.5 days. The roof is fixed and we feel more prepared for winter. Excellent service!
