Roof Maintenance – Extending Your Roofing System's Life
Every roof has an expected life span, with some lasting longer than others. Once it gets to the end of its life, even major repairs won't help much. While there's not a lot you can do with an old roof, professional roofers know proactive maintenance can make the roof last a long time. We take a closer look at how keeping a roof in good shape can extend its lifespan.
Cleanliness Counts
The most basic form of proactive roof maintenance is simply keeping the roof free of any debris buildup. This is especially true when it comes to roofing near areas with plenty of trees, where a flat roofing design is bound to accumulate leaves. Keeping the roof clean prevents water from pooling, minimizing the risk of moisture damage throughout the roof's lifespan.
The Effect of Repairs
The main reason roofers recommend prompt roof repairs is because problems, such as leaks or structural damage, get worse the longer they are neglected. A commercial roof weakened by moisture damage for several months will have to be replaced earlier than one that never had its structure affected by water.
Insulation Is Important
Not all commercial roofing problems are caused by external factors. In some cases, a property's ventilation system can cause a lot of condensation, forcing moisture to accumulate underneath the roof. By having roofers check on the roof's insulation, it's possible to deter

What's in Your Roof? The Most Important Roof Parts
Your home's roofing is the most important structure of your house barring the actual foundation. It protects you from the elements and keeps your living space comfortable. But do you know what parts make up your roofing?
West Side Roofing Co. discusses the most important parts of your roofing and their roles.
Tiles and Shingles
The tiles and shingles of your roofing are the first things you'll see on your roof. It's more than just aesthetics though—it's the outermost barrier of the roof and the frontline defense against the elements. You can assess the general state and health of your roofing when you look at the tiles and shingles. Most homes boast asphalt tiles and slate shingles. They're the classic choice for many homeowners, but they do live up to modern standards. Our slate roofing, for example, is weather-resilient and durable and can last up to 70 years or more with proper care.
The Roof Underlayment
Underneath your tiles and shingles is the roof underlayment. It's a black paper that's laid over the plywood sheeting of your roof structure as a sort of secondary barrier against elemental damage, such as water leaks or snow damage. The underlayment itself is often waterproof so in the event that water seeps through the tiles and shingles, it doesn't do further extensive damage.

These metal pieces are barely noticeable components of your roofing but they e
