Question 1

What are the signs that my roof needs inspection?

Accepted Answer

Visually, you can spot signs of wear such as discoloration of shingles, misalignment, or damage over the years. However, it's advisable to have an expert perform a more thorough inspection of seals, caulking, roof edges, and ventilation spaces.

Question 2

When is the best time to have my roof inspected?

Accepted Answer

While there's no single answer, an annual inspection can identify potential problems or damage from the past year. If your roof has been exposed to extreme weather conditions, an inspection after such events is also recommended.

Question 3

How do I know if my roof needs replacement or just repairs?

Accepted Answer

Several factors are considered, including the age of the roof (asphalt shingles typically last 15-25 years) and the extent of wear. A professional inspection can help determine if minor repairs are sufficient or if a new roof covering is necessary. Regular maintenance can often lead to more cost-effective repairs.

Question 4

What is a terrace roof?

A terrace roof, becoming increasingly popular, is designed for relaxation and aesthetic enjoyment, often featuring vegetation and seasonal furniture. It must meet strict standards, characterized by a flat or very low slope for water drainage. Your roofer plays a key role in its realization according to norms and regulations.
