When it comes to protecting your home and investment, your roof is the first line of defense. At Perimeter Roofing and Exteriors, we believe in empowering homeowners with expert advice, honest assessments, and high-quality workmanship. In a recent episode of our podcast, “Inside the Perimeter Roof and Renovate,” hosted by Philip Pantana, we explored critical roofing insights, maintenance strategies, and customer care principles that every homeowner should know.
Here’s what you need to know to make smarter decisions about your roof—and how Perimeter Roofing can help.
Why Roofing Maintenance Is Essential for Homeowners
Many homeowners wait until visible damage appears before calling a roofer. But by then, the damage may have already spread beneath the surface—costing you more money in the long run.
Preventative roof maintenance is one of the most cost-effective ways to:
Extend the lifespan of your roofing system
Prevent interior water damage
Improve energy efficiency
Boost property value and curb appeal
At Perimeter Roofing and Exteriors, we recommend bi-annual roof inspections—especially after severe storms or seasonal changes.
What Our Roof Repair Specialists Look for During Inspections
Our repair specialists, Zach Hammond and Michael Tote, have years of hands-on experience identifying issues before they become emergencies. Here’s what they check during a typical roof inspection:
Granule loss on shingles (a common sign of aging or hail damage)
Flashing and pipe boot deterioration
Signs of water intrusion or soft decking
Improper installation or DIY patch jobs
Ventilation efficiency and attic moisture levels
We don’t just inspect your roof—we document every detail with high-resolution photos and provide clear, honest recommendations. You’ll know exactly what’s going on, what it means, and what your options are.
Repair vs. Replacement: How We Help You Decide
One of the most common questions we hear is: “Do I need a roof repair or a full roof replacement?”
Our approach is always the same: we provide a comprehensive, transparent assessment. If your roof still has life left in it, we’ll recommend the most effective repair strategy. But if a replacement is the more cost-efficient choice long-term, we’ll walk you through every step—from choosing materials to financing options.
Here’s when a replacement may be the smarter move:
The roof is over 15-20 years old
Widespread shingle damage or curling
Significant water damage to decking
Multiple past repairs and patches
Why Communication & Customer Education Matter
We believe that informed homeowners make the best decisions. That’s why communication is at the core of everything we do. Our specialists explain issues in plain English—no confusing jargon. Whether we’re fixing a minor leak or replacing your entire roof, you’ll always understand what we’re doing and why.
In fact, this commitment to education is what helps us earn consistent 5-star reviews, repeat business, and referrals throughout the community.
