The Components of a Great Roof

While roofs may appear to be a simple, single layer, they’re actually quite complex. The primary function of a roof is to protect your home from the elements, but a quality roof will also provide your home with superior insulation.

Roofs are constructed using the following elements:

• Underlayment: If you’ve ever seen a roof being installed, you may have noticed a layer of dark paper covering the wooden structure below — this is the underlayment. Underlayment is typically combined with a waterproof sealant to provide your home with an extra layer of protection from water and wind.
• Flashing: While your roof’s underlayment provides an effective barrier between your home and the elements, additional protection is needed to prevent water damage during heavy downpours. Flashing is generally made of sheet metal or hard plastic, though other materials can be used. In general, you’ll find flashing around the bases of chimneys, along the edges of windows and skylights, around vents, and in the valleys of your roof. Water can creep in through small crevices and openings in your roof, but flashing provides your home with an extra layer of protection.
• Shingles: Shingles are the component of your roof that you’re probably the most familiar with. Sitting directly on top of the underlayment, shingles are your home’s first line of defense against wind, rain, hail, and snow. Shingles are generally laid in an overlapping pattern, though other placement styles can be used to achieve a unique look.
• Trim: Your trim is one element you may have chosen to change once or twice while painting your home. Your trim adds an accent to your roof that can make your home stand out from others in the neighborhood. In addition to looking great, trim provides a layer of protection anywhere that your roof has a seam.

A Roof Replacement Is a Great Investment

Whenever you’re considering taking on a home renovation, your first concern is probably how much the services will cost. At Blue Springs Siding and Windows, we understand that it can often seem financially daunting to take on a large project, especially if you find yourself unexpectedly having to purchase a new roof. However, numerous studies and analyses have shown that roof replacements deliver a fantastic return on investment, or ROI.

Let’s start with a recent report from REALTOR® Magazine as an example. While the study found that interior renovations increased the participants’ enjoyment of their homes more than exterior renovations, the study also found that roof replacements provided homeowners with the best ROI. In fact, if a roof installation will cost you $7,600, you can expect the new roof to add $7,980 to your home’s value — that’s a 105-percent return on your investment! Whether you’re beginning to renovate your home from the outside in or you’re making a few strategic investments before putting it on the market, there’s no debating the fact that roof replacements are a sound investment.

Maintaining Your New Roof

After we’ve provided you with a roof installation, it’s important that you take steps to care for your investment. We previously noted that a typical roof will last between 20 and 30 years, and with the proper care, you can increase the chances of your roof lasting for the next three decades. Here are just a few tips for making the most of your new roof:

Cleaning

As residents of the Kansas City area, we know how dynamic and harsh the weather can be at times. Between wind, rain, and the trees around your home, your roof is probably becoming dirtier and dirtier every year. Clean any debris that has fallen on your roof, as leaves and branches can easily clog your gutters and contribute to mold growth on your roof. You can use your hands, a leaf blower, or a broom to brush debris off your roof. Make sure that you clean your roof gently, as you don’t want to damage your shingles’ granules.

Trim Your Trees

Taking care of the trees around your property is one of the best ways to maintain your roof. We mentioned above that clogged gutters can create a damaging pull on your roof, and keeping the trees around your home trimmed can prevent leaves from accumulating on your roof and making their way into the gutter. Additionally, the wind in the Kansas City area can often break sturdy branches, and the last thing you want to deal with is a hole in your new roof. We recommend that all branches are at least ten feet away from your roof, though more distance is desirable.
