Maintenance - How much will it cost to protect your investment...
For a home which has a current value of $200,000, if one were to spend half percent of the value ($1000) each year to "insure" the protection of that investment, it would take 200 years to use up the values. Yet often, the person who neglects the investment in his $200,000 home will spend $1,000 or more yearly to insure a $20,000 automobile, which in a few years is worth very little. The answer is obvious, the investment warrants the care.
Properly protected and maintained, your roof should last a life time...
Left unprotected, wood decay will eventually occur. The three basic causes of wood decay are:
- Water
- Sunlight
- Fungus (e.g., algae or moss)
If the water absorption can be eliminated, you can control the growth of the fungus that causes wood to rot. The natural rays of the sun will slowly leech out oils and resins from cedar shakes and shingles. These factors combined results in discolouration, wood decay and splitting - thus dramatically reducing life expectancy of the roof and the value of your property.
The sooner you stop decay - the longer your roof will last - the less it will cost.
