We continue our three part series on tile roofs with Patrick D. Morin. On Monday, Patrick talked to us about how a tile roof is constructed. Today, Patrick explains what happens when a tile roof beings to crack and ultimately what can happen to your home.
Patrick D. Morin has put together a three part series to help homeowners learn about tile roofs and what to do when they crack. In part one, Patrick talks to us about what a tile roof is comprised of.
Patrick talks about the importance of keeping your Cedar, Composition, and Tile roofs clear of excess tree debris.
He tells us about Compressor Blowing your roof. Why we do this and how we do it! He also tells us the different levels of tree debris and how they need to be maintained.
He talks about Heavy debris on Portland Roofs and the difference between a backpack blow and a compressor blow. Shake, Composition, and Tile roofs require blowing for health and longevity.
He talks about composition shingle and what happens when tree debris is left on them. He also talks about why it is important to monitor the tree debris level on your roof.
If it has been a while since you have looked at your roof, let Roof Life come and check it out for you.

Its late fall to early winter in Portland and homeowners are wondering what they can do to make sure there roof is in good shape. Most important is to get the junk off of it. The tree debris will cause water retention and it’s not good for your roof. Debris buildup creates diversions of water; causing unexpected leaks. The gutters need to be cleaned and free flowing now that the leaves are down. While that’s being done, an inspection can be made to see if all is well as far as functionality goes. Most of the walls, pipes, vents, and chimneys protruding through your roof need to be checked after a weather year like we just had. High heat, high winds and extreme cold. Man, what state do we live again?
Sincerely, Patrick D. Morin

In Portland over the last 25 years, homeowners have repeatedly told us that they want their roofs to look good, work right, and last longer. Using that as our premise, here is the problem with moss buildup on your tile roof…
Of course, the first issue is appearance. Compare a moss-ridden tile roof to a clean, well-maintained tile roof….you make the call. Most of the reasons for a tile roof are for the beauty and longevity with no hassles to the homeowner. Let’s face it, the appearance of your home says a lot about you, and since your roof makes up 1/3 to 1/2 of your home’s appearance, having a good looking, well working roof is a top priority in Portland, Oregon. The only time function takes over 1st place is when a client is concerned about a leak.
