Roof Maintenance During a Time of Covid19 Is a Great Idea

April 1, 2020

During this time of self-quarantine and limited social interaction due to distancing, you've been thinking of a lot of things. However, your roof is often at the end or even the last of your worries. Your home is the safest haven anyone has against the spreading coronavirus, but if one of its five barriers -- which includes your roof -- becomes compromised, you are left exposed to the elements. If you've thought about your roof's essential role in protecting you right now, then that is enough to keep you safe throughout these trying times.

Some reputable local roofers across Guelph might still offer roofing maintenance services despite the pandemic. Indeed, we at Turbo Roofing have completely laid off operations for a while, but other Guelph roofers with the right safety equipment -- which safeguards you and their health with limited interaction -- can do a roofing inspection. However, take note that they might not offer repair or replacement services for the meantime due to the pandemic.

It's Been a While Since Your Roof Had a Visit

Your roof is an integral part of your property. Without it, you're susceptible to rain, hail, and snowstorms. The entire property interior subjects itself to the temperatures outside elements dictate. Furthermore, without a roof makes your home's entire lifespan unpredictable. In this light, it's essential to ensure your roof is always in great shape.

If it has been a while since your roof had its roofing inspection and maintenance, having one right after your self-imposed quarantine -- or during quarantine if there are roofers available and willing to do it -- will do wonders for your roof. Additionally, roofers are mostly working isolated from each other in different areas, which still makes it possible to perform simple roofing maintenance.

In doing so, your roof's small problems will never evolve into huge, expensive problems that require immediate roof repair or replacements. Furthermore, your roofers only need simple tools and no scaffolding to perform roofing maintenance services -- and it'll often just take a day.

Take Precautions

It's important to remember that the coronavirus transmits through droplets from infected individuals. Therefore, take all the necessary precautions because your Guelph roofers will do so for yours and their team's safety. As much as possible, avoid physical contact and handing over equipment or other objects. Instead, exchange these objects with your roofer where a hand sanitizer is present.

In doing so, both parties are conscious of the exchange, and can use the sanitizers to clean their hands free of any possible virus too.

 

Do Cashless Transactions When Possible

Most Guelph roofers allow you to do cashless transactions. With modern financial tech likely available from your bank, you can perform bank transfers and avoid unnecessary physical contact with your roofers.

If you're in need of excellent roofing repair and replacement services, especially right after your self-quarantine, you can count on Turbo Roofing to provide you with superior results that improve your roof's longevity and reliability.
