For an older home, or even a newer one after a major storm hits Calgary, several repairs and maintenance tasks may be required to ensure the integrity and longevity of the roof and siding. Some common repairs for an older home’s roof and siding include:

Roof Repairs:

  1. Shingle Replacement: Over time, the shingles on an older roof may deteriorate, crack, or become loose, requiring replacement to prevent water infiltration and further damage.
  2. Flashing Repair: The flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights can degrade over time, leading to leaks. Repairing or replacing damaged flashing is essential to maintain a watertight seal.
  3. Gutter Maintenance: Older gutters can become clogged, damaged, or detached, necessitating cleaning, repairs, or replacement to ensure proper water drainage and prevent water damage to the roof and home’s foundation.
  4. Ventilation Upgrades: Inadequate attic ventilation in older homes can lead to moisture buildup, which can cause roof sheathing and insulation damage. Installing or improving ventilation systems can help mitigate this issue.
  5. Soffit and Fascia Repair: Rot or damage to the soffit and fascia can compromise the roof’s integrity. Repairing or replacing these components is crucial to protect the underlying structure from moisture and pests.

Siding Repairs:

  1. Siding Replacement: Over time, older siding may warp, crack, or suffer from moisture damage, requiring partial or complete replacement to maintain the home’s aesthetic appeal and weather resistance.
  2. Painting and Refinishing: For wood siding, regular repainting or refinishing may be necessary to protect it from weathering, rot, and insect damage.
  3. Caulking and Sealing: Ensuring that the seams, joints, and penetrations in the siding are properly caulked and sealed is essential to prevent water infiltration and maintain energy efficiency.
  4. Pest Damage Repair: Older homes with wood siding are susceptible to pest damage. Repairing areas damaged by insects or pests and taking preventive measures is crucial to preserve the siding.
  5. Insulation and Weatherproofing: Upgrading insulation and weatherproofing behind the siding can improve energy efficiency and protect the home from the elements.
