What Are Sloped Roofs?

A sloped roof is an angled building covering which protects your entire structure from the elements. Sloped roofs offer many benefits and have been used around the globe for thousands of years. People love sloped roofs because they create attics for storage space, encourage rain and snow to run off, and improve ventilation all year long. Canadian homeowners appreciate the classic appearance of a sloped roof for their homes, even when other architectural choices are available.

Why Do Sloped Roofs Need Maintenance?

WHY DO SLOPED ROOFS NEED MAINTENANCE?
A well-installed sloped roof can protect your home for decades. However, you should think of your roof like any other household utility system. It’s normal for a roof to need maintenance to work its best.

Severe weather like heavy snow, high wind speeds, and torrential rain can all damage your roof. Elemental hazards such as constant UV radiation can also cause deterioration. Foot traffic and even wildlife visits can also lead to serious issues.

Regular inspections help you identify early signs of damage so you can address them quickly. This preventative maintenance will keep your roof at top performance for as long as possible.

Signs Your Sloped Roof Needs An Inspection

Some kinds of roof damage are obvious. For example, if you look at the outside of your home and see missing shingles, discoloured patches, or unusual textures, you have clear signs of roofing stress. Leaks are another glaring symptom of trouble. Contact Iron Shield Roofing if you notice any of these concerns and we’ll explore your options together.

However, others types of roofing damage are more subtle. A roof and its building should form a contained system. Roofing problems can cause symptoms in other parts of the building. Here are common but less obvious signs that your roof is ready for an inspection.

ASPHALT SHINGLES

Asphalt shingles are popular among Canadian homeowners thanks to their versatile appearance, reliable performance, and cost-effective pricing. It’s common to find some granule loss from asphalt shingles over the years. Contact Iron Shield Roofing if you find asphalt granules in your lawn, flower beds, driveway, or anywhere else around your home.

F-WAVE SYNTHETIC REVIA SHINGLES

Synthetic REVIA shingles are engineered from industrial-strength polymer compounds. Composite shingles like REVIA are very durable even in the face of wind, snow, hail, and sun damage. Regular inspection appointments will confirm your composite roof is always performing its best.

EUROSHIELD RUBBER SHINGLES

Euroshield uses recycled vulcanized rubber from car tires to create strong, flexible, and beautiful roofing shingles. Rubber is a durable material. Extend your Euroshield roof’s lifespan with inspection services as needed.

METAL ROOFING SHINGLES

Metal roofs are ideal for Canadian homes because they can withstand constant, heavy snow. Metal shingles are made of thick steel and tend to be low maintenance. Keep your metal roof operating at its best and ensure there are no problems to be found with regular roof inspections.

STANDING SEAM METAL ROOFING PANELS

These metal roofs have long panels that feature raised details to fight snow accumulation. Make sure your roof is ready for winter with an inspection before the snow starts to fall

STONE-COATED STEEL ROOFING SHINGLES

Stone-coated metal roofs have the long-lasting performance of a metal roof, as well as the lovely curb appeal of natural stone. However, the stone coating can wear down over time. Book an inspection with Iron Shield Roofing if you ever notice stone particles that have fallen from your roof.

COMPOSITE DESIGNER SHAKE AND SLATE

These synthetic polymer roofs are designed to mimic the organic look of real slate and cedar roofing shingles. Composite roofs tend to be low-maintenance. Regular roof inspections will ensure your roof remains in good condition.

CEDAR SHAKES AND SHINGLES

Classic cedar roofs use heritage lumber to create a traditional look rich in Canadian history. Since these roofs use organic wood materials, they’re at risk from rot, algae, fading, mould, cracks, and more. Keep your beautiful cedar roof looking and performing its best with regular inspections from Iron Shield Roofing.

CLAY AND CONCRETE TILE ROOFING

People have used clay roofing tiles for thousands of years. This traditional material can last for decades or even centuries when properly maintained. Stay on top of your clay or concrete roof’s condition with regular inspections.
