Roof-A-Cide's Top 5 Articles on Roof Maintenance

Roofs are one of the most expensive maintenance and replacement items of a home. And when you’re dealing with a community, the expense is multiplied and is usually very substantial. Proper maintenance, or lack of it, has a substantial impact on the aesthetics, property values, and costs to the residents of the community - and effective management of the maintenance & costs is a critical part of the effective management of the community as a whole.

This is a list of the top five articles we’ve compiled that will help Board Members and Community Managers understand the basics of managing their roof maintenance:

  • Nobody Likes Roof Cleaning: LinkedIn Pulse 
    For most Florida communities, Roof Cleaning is part of recurring maintenance simply because dirty roofs look bad and clean roofs look much better. Very few things drag down the appearance of the average community like roofs that look old and worn out because they are covered in black algae. 
    But if they’re truly looking to maximize value and minimize long-term costs, appearance is only one of several factors that Board Members and Community Managers should be concerned with regarding their community’s significant investment in their roofs.
  • Roof Cleaning for Communities: LinkedIn Pulse 
    Experienced Community Association Managers, familiar with the effects of repeated Roof Cleaning, know that using high pressure or harsh chemicals can greatly accelerate the aging of a roof and many just accept it as “the cost” of keeping roofs clean – but there are proven, effective ways to avoid this.
  • Coming Soon to a Florida Community Near You: LinkedIn Pulse 
    Because the appearance of the roofs has such an impact on property values, many communities in Florida require that homeowners / residents keep their roofs clean – just like they require that the lawns are mowed, bushes are trimmed, and driveways are kept clean. The more proactive and comprehensively managed communities coordinate the roof cleaning for the benefit of the community – making it more convenient for the homeowners, maintaining a consistent look throughout the community, minimizing disruption, and saving money at the same time. This is where communities in Central Florida and on the Treasure Coast can learn a lot from their counterparts in Southeast and Southwest Florida.

2014 Hurricane Season - Is Your Property Ready?

As we gear up for Hurricane Season, remember that one of your BEST hurricane preparations for your property is to establish a good relationship with a qualified Roofer.

Depending on the source, the 2014 Hurricane Season is predicted to be Quiet, Average, or Busy – so that doesn't help and no one really puts much stock in these predictions anyway. But the season is starting again and those of us that have lived here for a while know what CAN happen. And living under a blue tarp for months or years is NOT pleasant.

Since we usually have just a couple of days to really hunker down if a storm is coming, getting ready beforehand makes sense. It doesn't take a lot of time or effort and it will make weathering the storm much easier if your area does happen to get hit.

Heading Off One of the Most Likely Problems: Getting your roof inspected and making necessary repairs can be done well in advance and it takes one more potential problem off your plate. It will also give you a realistic estimate of the remaining useful life of the roof(s).

We work with some of the best roofing pros in every major market in Florida & each of these companies is Licensed, Insured, & Qualified to Inspect, Maintain, Repair, or Replace your roof(s). Many of these companies also offer significant discounts on repairs and/or priority scheduling for their customers on a Roof Maintenance Program in the event that a storm does hit.

Here's a listing of the companies we work with in Florida:
Call one today to make sure that your roof is ready and ask them about an ongoing Maintenance Program.

Roof Protection – Before & After the Storm

With the last three years being some of the most active hurricane seasons on record, Florida has been lucky and we haven’t been slammed. But the season has started again and those of us that were here during ’04 & ’05 know what CAN happen. And if you lived in Florida during those years, you’re probably not taking any pre-season forecast as a solid indicator of what will probably happen to Florida this summer.

Anything can happen and we usually only have a couple of days to really hunker down. Being prepared beforehand does not take a lot of time and effort. And it will make weathering the storm much easier if your area does happen to get hit.

Many Homeowners and Communities throughout Florida had to deal with blue tarps serving as their roofs for weeks and sometimes years - as they tried to find Licensed, Qualified Roofing Companies that could help them. You can avoid this.

Along with other preparations, you can make sure your roof is in the best shape to handle a storm by calling one of these Roof-A-Cide® Applicators.
