When Is Painting Your Roof Recommended?

A well-experienced residential Parker roofing company should be able to tell you when painting your roof is recommended and what the best steps to take in this direction are. Owning a home implies many things that we may have never thought about. And perhaps roof-related issues are among the least known about of all home-related things.

By painting your roof, you get to add another protective layer somewhere between your roofing system and the exterior conditions. It goes without saying that painting your roof will only protect your roof for a limited amount of time, but it is a very effective way to slow down the roofing degradation caused by harsh weather. At the same time, painting your roof can also increase the energy efficiency of your home. It prevents damp, mold and leak formation. Apart from the functional aspect, roof painting can also increase the overall appearance of your roofing system in general.

When you paint your roof you refresh your home’s image, and make it look cleaner and nicer to the eyes of your neighbors, friends, or passers-by. The general rule is for a roof to be repainted every 10-15 years, but this period may vary depending on local climate and the quality of the paint.
