McHenry Roofing Offers Roof Maintenance Around Pimlico

McHenry Roofing, a roofing contractor based in Baltimore, MD, is offering roof maintenance and other related services around Pimlico, which is a neighborhood in Baltimore. Pimlico is noted for being the location of the popular Pimlico Race Track, where the annual Preakness Stakes American thoroughbred horse race is held. Homes in Pimlico are a combination of single-family homes, rowhomes, and detached homes.

McHenry Roofing wants to emphasize the importance of roof inspection and roof maintenance to ensure that the roof is healthy and is in optimal condition to perform its work of protecting the home from elements. Roof inspection and maintenance includes various tasks, such as: checking the roof for peeling, stained, or missing shingles; examining the roof for signs of pests and animals; inspection of the pipe boots for damage such as cracks; getting rid of debris like leaves and tree branches from the roof and gutters; inspecting and sweeping the chimney; ensuring that the roof ventilation is functioning properly; and examining the caulking and flashing for any possible leaks.

A representative for McHenry Roofing says, “Your roof is one of the most essential components of your home. A minor issue involving the roof like a loose shingle or a small leak can worsen and turn into a serious problem if nothing is done to fix it. Roof damage can quickly spread and weaken the whole structure of the home as water gets into the walls and into the basement. The process of worsening roofing problems is accelerated in places that experience extreme weather conditions. Having the roof inspected and maintained regularly can help avoid such serious issues and save you from expensive roof repairs in the future.”

Meanwhile, McHenry Roofing can also help homeowners in finding roof financing options because they understand that having a new roof installed is a huge investment. Fortunately, home insurance may cover some of the costs but only for those roof damages due to fire, severe weather, or falling objects. Homeowners insurance usually does not cover those damages or leaks due to an old and poorly maintained roof. This is one more reason for ensuring that the roof is well-maintained.

It is also important to be aware of the typical lifespan of various kinds of roofs. Asphalt shingle roofs usually last for 15 to 30 years. Wood shingle roofs can last for 20 to 25 years. Composition shingle roofs can last for 12 to 20 years. Torch down membrane roofs can last for 15 to 20 years. Rubber roofs can last for 30 to 50 years. And metal roofs can last to 50 to 75 years.

It is also important to know the cost of roof replacement in Maryland. The most common and affordable roofing available in Maryland is the traditional three-tab asphalt roof. The average size of homes in Maryland is around 1,900 square feet, while the older homes are smaller. A three-tab asphalt shingle roof replacement in Maryland will cost between $3.50 and $5.50 per square foot, which means that on the average, roof replacement in Maryland will cost between $6,650 to $10,450.
