HOME IMPROVEMENT AND ROOFING: COMPONENTS TO PRIORITIZE
Erin Harbison • Apr 18, 2018

The best way to improve your home’s protection, utility and curb appeal is by addressing and improving your home’s roofing system. This isn’t restricted to just the shingles, but all parts of the roofing, including everything from the eavestrough to the soffits. Nomad Roofing, your local experts, discusses more.

Eavestrough Repair

Eavestroughs are the gutters fixed beneath the edge of the roof. Due to their unique location, they suffer more wear and tear than the commonly placed gutters at the edge. We recommend doing general and preventive eavestrough repair to keep the bottom part of the roof, which is vulnerable, safe from water damage.


Preventive Maintenance

The simplest way to keep your roof in good condition is by doing preventive maintenance. Common roofing problems like leaks, which can quickly become larger and more destructive problems, can easily be addressed by doing regular maintenance, especially when you patch them up when they are still small.


Preventive maintenance also keeps the appearance of your roof intact, which is important if your goal is to beautify your home. The roof, after all, is the most visible part of any dwelling so keeping it in good condition translates to high value.


Soffit Installation

The soffit is the underside of architectural structures, such as arches, balconies and overhanging eaves. Normally, these structures don’t have a lower “base” and remain open. Soffit installation is vital to keep these components safe from inclement weather, especially wind-driven rain.


Flashings

These are the thin metal strips protecting your roof’s most vulnerable parts, such as the hips and valleys. Replace them once they start showing signs of corrosion and disrepair to prevent water damage and leaks.
