ROOFING BLOG

Unlike residential roofs, commercial roofs cover a much larger area, face heavier use, and often support equipment. Understanding what not to do can make all the difference in how long your roof lasts and how well it performs.

If you’ve been thinking about replacing your roof, there’s no better time to do it than during the summer months. Summer brings longer daylight hours, warmer temperatures, and better overall conditions for roofing crews to work efficiently.

Many homeowners don’t realize that the condition of their roof plays a big role in the success and longevity of a solar installation. If your roof isn’t in great shape, you may be setting yourself up for unexpected repairs, extra costs, or even damage down the road.

Moving into a new home is exciting, especially in Western Massachusetts where charm, history, and weather all come together. But one thing new homeowners often skip is a professional look at the roof. At Roberts Roofs Inc, we believe your roof should be at the top of your checklist. Whether you’re in Longmeadow, Chicopee, Amherst, or Westfield, now is the perfect time to evaluate the condition of your roof before the seasons change.

If you’ve noticed green or dark patches on your roof, you’re not alone. Moss growth is a common issue for homeowners in Massachusetts due to our damp climate and shady tree-lined neighborhoods. While it may seem like a small cosmetic problem, moss can cause long-term damage if left untreated.

When it comes to roofing, timing is everything. Many homeowners wait until a roof is leaking or showing severe damage before taking action, but waiting too long can lead to higher costs, unexpected delays, and even interior damage. The truth is, the best time to replace your roof might be right around the corner—especially as the weather starts to warm up.

After a harsh winter, and now that spring is here, it's a good time to get your roof inspected. Snow, ice, wind, and freezing temperatures can leave behind damage that isn't always obvious. Catching issues early can help you avoid costly repairs or even a full roof replacement.

Your roof does more than just sit on top of your house. It protects your home from rain, wind, snow, and sun. Over time, even the strongest roof can start to wear down. If you catch the signs early, you can usually fix the problem with a simple repair. Waiting too long may lead to bigger damage and the need for a full replacement.

Just because your roof looks fine doesn’t mean it’s problem-free. Many homeowners assume a clean appearance means their roof is in good shape, but the truth is that serious damage often hides beneath the surface. By the time visible signs show up—like water spots or sagging areas—repairs can be extensive and expensive.
