Many homeowners delay roof maintenance until a problem arises, but waiting too long can lead to costly consequences. Studies show that neglecting minor roof damage can increase repair costs by up to 300%. Water infiltration alone causes over $2.5 billion in property damage annually in the U.S., much of which could have been avoided with timely inspections and repairs.

Common issues that arise from neglected roofing include:

• Mold and mildew growth, which affects indoor air quality and can lead to health concerns.
• Structural damage, where prolonged leaks weaken roof decking and framing.
• Increased insurance premiums, as insurers may charge higher rates for homes with unresolved roofing issues.

Routine maintenance is a small investment compared to the cost of major repairs or premature roof replacement. Green Parkdale Roofing Experts offers customized maintenance plans, ensuring that minor issues are addressed before they escalate into expensive problems. Taking preventive action today can save thousands in future repairs and help maintain your home’s value for years to come.
