1Preventative Work on Compton Roofs
Moss on a shaded Compton slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. Loose ridge caps on a Compton roof covering are a five-minute fix ahead of the winds and a much larger one once past. It is the same story on most Compton streets. Skylight seals on Compton roofs want checking annually, as they fail quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. Two visits a year keeps a Compton roof covering honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and check the flashings after the first heavy storm. Most Compton roof coverings that fail early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars.
Underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a Compton tile roof, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing. Architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Compton roof covering for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer service life.
