Update And Uphold Your Heritage Roof

28 Feb 2018 9:00 AM -

Owners of older properties eventually face the task of restoring/repairing their property. A common feature of a heritage building that needs replacing is the roof and gutters, as many years of facing the elements leads to irreversible corrosion. It can be a daunting prospect to remove an original component of a traditional property, but the values of a beautiful old home can be preserved and replicated with attention to detail. Mack Bros works with our customers to help them achieve their heritage roofing vision and maintain its integrity for generations to come.

Here are some helpful tips on this process –

* The first step is identifying the problem. Inspect your roof for signs of degradation. Leaking is an obvious indication of serious roofing issues. If you see grey stains, moisture marks or peeling paint on ceilings, there may be damage to the roof above. Getting inside your roof can also be a good way to locate leaks, checking for signs of daylight which signifies holes or cracks.

* After inspecting the inside for damage, examining the roof itself is the next step. Depending on your capability, check the roof and gutters for signs of deterioration. Hiring a professional may be a smart and safer option as they can advise you on the extent of the damage and how to approach repairing and restoration.

* Replacing damaged roof parts with high quality products is important to avoid similar circumstances in the future.
