Owning a home in Asheville, NC, means enjoying the beautiful mountain views, lush landscapes, and charming neighborhoods. However, it also means dealing with a variety of weather conditions that can take a toll on your roof. At Ridge Roofing, we understand the importance of regular roof maintenance to ensure your home stays protected year-round. Here are some essential roof maintenance tips to help you keep your roof in top shape. 1. Regular Roof Inspections One of the most crucial aspects of roof maintenance is conducting regular inspections. Ideally, you should have your roof inspected at least twice a year—once in the spring and once in the fall. Regular inspections help identify potential issues before they become major problems. Look for signs of damage such as missing or damaged shingles, cracks, or leaks. 2. Clean Your Gutters Clogged gutters can lead to water damage and even roof leaks. Ensure that your gutters are free of leaves, twigs, and other debris. Clean them out regularly, especially after a storm. Properly functioning gutters direct water away from your roof and home, preventing water damage and maintaining the integrity of your roof. 3. Trim Overhanging Branches Trees add beauty to your Asheville property, but overhanging branches can be a risk to your roof. During storms or high winds, branches can break and cause damage to your shingles or roof structure. Regularly trim any branches that are close to or touching your roof to prevent this potential hazard. 4. Check for Algae and Moss Asheville’s humid climate can lead to the growth of algae and moss on your roof. These organisms can cause damage to shingles and reduce the lifespan of your roof. If you notice dark streaks or green patches on your roof, it’s time to take action. Use a gentle roof cleaning solution or hire a professional roof cleaning service to remove algae and moss. 5. Ensure Proper Ventilation Proper roof ventilation is essential for maintaining the health of your roof. Poor ventilation can lead to moisture buildup, which can cause mold growth and rot. Ensure that your attic has adequate ventilation to allow for proper air circulation. This will help extend the life of your roof and prevent potential issues. 6. Replace Damaged Shingles Promptly If you notice any damaged or missing shingles during your inspection, it’s important to replace them promptly. Damaged shingles can expose your roof to water damage, leading to leaks and further deterioration. Contact Ridge Roofing to replace damaged shingles and ensure your roof remains in good condition. 7. Inspect Flashing and Seals Flashing and seals around chimneys, vents, and skylights are vulnerable areas where leaks can occur. Inspect these areas regularly to ensure they are intact and properly sealed. If you notice any cracks or gaps, have them repaired immediately to prevent water infiltration. 8. Schedule Professional Roof Maintenance While regular inspections and minor repairs can be done by homeowners, it’s essential to schedule professional roof maintenance with Ridge Roofing. Our experienced team in Asheville, NC, can provide a thorough inspection, identify hidden issues, and perform necessary repairs to keep your roof in optimal condition.  Conclusion Regular roof maintenance is vital for protecting your home and ensuring the longevity of your roof. By following these tips and scheduling professional maintenance with Ridge Roofing, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your Asheville home is well-protected from the elements.

Your Guide to the Roof Replacement Timeline Your roof is essential in maintaining your family's comfort and safety. However, how often do you think about the quality of your roof? Do you know when to replace a roof? What will that timeline look like? These are common thoughts, and the team at Ridge Roofing is here to provide expert insight on the topic. From metal roofs to water stains, we are here to help you understand when it is time to replace your roof. How Often Do You Replace a Roof? Unfortunately, there is not just one simple answer to this question. Many factors affect how long you will need to wait to conduct an entire roof replacement or even a small-scale repair. If you have just moved into a new house and do not know the age of your roof, get in contact with your local contractors at Ridge Roofers for a thorough inspection of the area. Type of Roofing Material While the material is a factor that comes into play for any timeline, a roof inspection will help determine a more accurate understanding of when a roof installation is needed. Common roofing materials do not last forever, but certain products are more durable than others. Metal Sheets: Due to their durability, they only need replacement after 50 years. Wood Shingles: This material requires replacement after around 20 years. Asphalt Shingles: A prevalent roof material, and should be replaced every 15 years. Rubber Roofing: Though this material is not used very frequently, it can last for 30 years. Concrete Tiles: Tile roofs should be replaced every 15 years or so. Size and Accessibility Regarding the roof replacement process, you may also be wondering how long the roofing contractor will need to replace the damaged shingles. Depending on the size of the roof and how difficult it may be to access certain portions of it, the number of days to replace the structures will vary. Keep in mind that if your roof has multiple facets and sharp angles, these will require more time to conduct an effective replacement. In contrast, a relatively flat and simple roof will be a bit easier to replace or repair. With many factors to consider, the timeline you are given for the service to be completed may be pretty small or quite large. On average, a roof replacement can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks for it to be adequately completed. This includes the time for inspection, installation, as well as clean-up processes. Obstacles and Exceptions You never know what kinds of problems could arise with a roof replacement. Between severe weather and debris, it is always possible for the timeline of the service to be impacted. For this reason, if you are conducting a routine replacement, be aware of what time of year you schedule the appointment for. If your roof had been in satisfactory condition, but a severe storm caused some damage, then the timeline for your replacement may need to be advanced. No matter what happens, it is always a good idea to contact your local roofing company for expert services and a second opinion on the situation. Scheduling a Replacement Service When you think it is time for a roof replacement or repair, you can count on Ridge Roofing to complete the job. As experienced and certified experts, our team knows the ins and outs of effective roof replacements. With us, there is no project that is too small.
