What is roof re-pointing?
Roof repointing is done on a roof’s structure to ensure it continues to function correctly. In the past, an older cement mortar would be used to repoint roof tiles, however today a flexible and durable compound is used. As it is flexible, it does not crack with the natural expansion and contraction of your roof. This further helps to safeguard your roof and protect your home.
When should I have my roof re-pointed?
Roof ridges, hips and rakes that have mortar cracks and break up are all signs your roof needs re-pointing. The entire surface of your roof is not easily visible from the ground and for this reason, regular roof inspections by Tom and his team at RoofWest Roof Restorations are the best way to check for damage. Think of your roof the same way you do your car. A car needs to be inspected, maintained and repaired regularly to ensure it is working correctly. Depending on the condition of your home it is recommended to have repointing done to your roof every 10 years.
