Hag-Eyed and Volo's Ersatz Eye cosmetics

Okay making this post because I haven't seen anyone do it and I've wanted it to be a thing so many times I might as well do it myself! This will include images of the cosmetics on all viable companions as well as player races with unique eyes.

Volo's Ersatz Eye:

Player races (Dragonborn, Githyanki, Tiefling) Volo cares not for the color of your sclera.

Origin Characters Karlach's has the slit pupil! As does Lae'zel's!

Hag-Eyed:

Player races (Dragonborn, Githyanki, Tiefling) The eye didn't show up in Magic Mirror for my Tiefling so this is a dialog screenshot- sorry

Origin Characters

Wyll isn't included due to not having a good eye to spare and as such being barred from both eye replacements. Minthara, Halsin, and Jaheira will refuse to obtain Volo's eye, and I'm not sure it's possible to get any of them to the Hag. Minthara maybe... But I don't have a file in which I could test it.

Additional context below + how to obtain both eyes if you need it. -(Will contain a GIF)

Volo's Ersatz Eye: You will first find Volo in the Emerald Grove, and if you talk to him, he will explain that he's going to visit the Goblin Camp. When you find him there, interact with him, and then rescue him. He'll eventually be at your camp, and you can talk to him about your affliction and he'll say he can fix it. Once you've had a Long Rest, talk to him again and he'll propose to do surgery on you. From what I understand, the scene is very graphic both visually and in narration, and is also pretty long. If you have issues with eye trauma like I do, I recommend covering your screen with a sheet or enlisting a more confident friend to tell you when it's done... (You do need to pick dialog options though) Anyways, once you've had that impromptu surgery, Volo will offer to replace your eye with a relic as payback. This eye gives you a permanent See Invisibility condition, as well as the cosmetic change, which makes it a net positive. Though I believe companions do disapprove of the surgery.

Little bit of a closer look at the Ersatz eye on a Dragonborn... It doesn't glow and it's not animated, but doesn't have a visible sclera. You can get this effect normally by selecting "human" eye colors. It doesn't really match with classic DB eyes though. EDIT - The Ersatz Eye seems to always have a slightly green-tinted sclera when the sclera is visible. You can only really tell up close, but it's worth noting I guess.

Hag's Eye: The Hag's Eye can be obtained in the Sunlit Wetlands after talking to Auntie Ethel in the Emerald Grove. Just go to the quest marker there. Going through with this will give you the Hag-Eyed tag and the "Paid the Price" condition. Unlike with Volo's Ersatz Eye, you get to pick which of your eyes is replaced. The condition will give you a +1 to Intimidation, Disadvantage on perception checks, and Disadvantage on attacks against Hags. In Early Access, it made it impossible to land Critical Hits, but as far as I can tell this is no longer a thing! (Also fun fact- After giving the Hag their eye, all the companions have custom overworld dialog. I'll leave you to look at that yourself though!)

For Dragonborns, the eye has a very visible black sclera, and is unanimated, as you can see here. It's up to you whether you think that matches well with classic DB eyes or not.

If you want the effects but not the cosmetics, there are mods on Nexus which remove the visual component in both cases. I may add links to those mods down here later, but Nexus is down right now so it'll have to wait.

Mini React.js Tips #2 | Resources ✨

Continuing the #mini react tips series, it's time to understand what is going on with the folders and files in the default React project - they can be a bit confusing as to what folder/file does what~!

What you'll need:

know how to create a React project >> click

already taken a look around the files and folders themselves

What does the file structure look like?

✤ node_modules folder: contains all the dependencies and packages (tools, resources, code, or software libraries created by others) needed for your project to run properly! These dependencies are usually managed by a package manager, such as npm (Node Package Manager)!

✤ public folder: Holds static assets (files that don't change dynamically and remain fixed) that don't require any special processing before using them! These assets are things like images, icons, or files that can be used directly without going through any additional steps.

✤ src folder: This is where your main source code resides. 'src' is short for source.

✤ assets folder: This folder stores static assets such as images, logos, and similar files. This folder is handy for organizing and accessing these non-changing elements in your project.

✤ App.css: This file contains styles specific to the App component (we will learn what 'components' are in React in the next tips post~!).

✤ App.jsx: This is the main component of your React application. It's where you define the structure and behavior of your app. The .jsx extension means the file uses a mixture of both HTML and JavaScript - open the file and see for yourself~!

✤ index.css: This file contains global styles that apply to the entire project. Any styles defined in this file will be applied universally across different parts of your project, providing a consistent look and feel.

✤ main.jsx: This is the entry point of your application! In this file, the React app is rendered, meaning it's the starting point where the React components are translated into the actual HTML elements displayed in the browser. Would recommend not to delete as a beginner!!

✤ .eslintrc.cjs: This file is the ESLint configuration. ESLint (one of the dependencies installed) is a tool that helps maintain coding standards and identifies common errors in your code. This configuration file contains rules and settings that define how ESLint should analyze and check your code.

✤ .gitignore: This file specifies which files and folders should be ignored by Git when version-controlling your project. It helps to avoid committing unnecessary files. The node_modules folder is typically ignored.

✤ index.html: This is the main HTML file that serves as the entry point for your React application. It includes the necessary scripts and links to load your app.

✤ package.json: A metadata file for your project. It includes essential information about the project, such as its name, version, description, and configuration details. Also, it holds a list of dependencies needed for the project to run - when someone else has the project on their local machine and wants to set it up, they can use the information in the file to install all the listed dependencies via npm install.

✤ package-lock.json: This file's purpose is to lock down and record the exact versions of each installed dependency/package in your project. This ensures consistency across different environments when other developers or systems install the dependencies.

✤ README.md: This file typically contains information about your project, including how to set it up, use it, and any other relevant details.

✤ vite.config.js: This file contains the configuration settings for Vite, the build tool used for this React project. It may include options for development and production builds, plugins, and other build-related configurations.

Congratulations! You know what the default folders and files do! Have a play around and familiarise yourself with them~!

VOX YOU FUCK HEAD 🗞️

No!

Do you realise how bad this is for Verena herself? You're not just hurting Alastor or Lucifer. She has grown up knowing Alastor and Lucifer as her parents and has her siblings. You can't just rip her out of her familiar environment like that! The only reason she was in their custody is because you threw a hissy fit! Because you abandoned her! And now you gambled her life for custody!

Note from Bunny: holy moly there are so many comments I cannot post all of them!

Vox: *carrying Verena* Computer, initiate emergency medical protocol. Prepare the surgical table.

The workshop lights dimmed, and a sterile white light illuminated the surgical table. Vox laid Verena down carefully, her small form looking even more fragile under the harsh light.

Verena: I’m scared...where’s my Papa and Daddy?

Vox: I know, Verena. But don’t worry, you’ll be better in no time…

He stroked her hair gently before turning to the array of tools laid out beside him. He took a deep breath, steadying his hands. This was not just a mechanical repair; this was his daughter’s life on the line.

Vox: Alright, Verena. I need to put you to sleep for a little while so I can fix you. You’ll wake up soon, I promise.

He injected a sedative into her arm, watching as her eyes slowly closed, her breathing becoming even and regular. Once she was asleep, he turned to the holographic display that showed a detailed scan of her body.

Vox: I need to stabilize her vitals before we start. Computer! Activate the neural stasis field to keep her consciousness safe during the procedure.

Computer: Neural stasis field activated. Verena’s neural activity is now isolated from the rest of her body. Beginning body diagnostics… multiple organ failures detected due to short circuiting in hybrid organic-inorganic systems.

Vox: *muttering* Damn it, why didn’t I see this flaw earlier? Alright, let’s start with her heart. We need to replace the damaged circuitry and install the new hybrid pump we’ve been working on.

Vox selects a micro-scalpel and makes a precise incision in Verena’s chest. He uses a robotic arm to hold the incision open while he carefully exposes her heart, a combination of organic tissue and metallic components.

Computer: Heart rate is fluctuating. I recommend immediate removal of the faulty pump.

Vox: *delicately disconnects the damaged pump, a small electrical discharge sparking as he does.* Computer, initiate the transfer of the new hybrid pump.

A robotic arm hands Vox the new hybrid pump, a sleek device designed to integrate seamlessly with both organic and inorganic tissues. Vox aligns it carefully and begins the installation process, connecting tiny wires and blood vessels with precision.

Computer: New pump is in place. Running diagnostics… Pump is functioning within optimal parameters. Heart rate stabilizing.

Vox: *sighs in relief* Good, that’s one down. Next, we need to address her respiratory system. The synthetic lung tissue has suffered severe degradation.

Vox moves to Verena’s lungs, using a combination of laser tools and nano-sutures to replace the damaged synthetic tissue with an improved, more resilient version. He works meticulously, ensuring that the new tissue bonds properly with her organic lung cells.

Computer: Lung function improving. Oxygen levels stabilizing.

Vox: We’re getting there. Now, for the neural interface. It’s the most delicate part… one wrong move and she might never wake up the same.

Vox prepares to operate on Verena’s brain, where a sophisticated neural interface connects her thoughts to her body’s artificial components. He uses a fine-tuned laser scalpel to access the interface, then carefully begins to replace the faulty connections.

Computer: Neural interface replacement is critical. Ensure all connections are secure and synchronized with her neural patterns.

Vox: *hands steady, voice calm* I know, Computer. I’m almost done… Just need to realign these last few connections…

Vox completes the neural interface replacement, taking extra care to test each connection for stability. He closes the incision and steps back, monitoring the readouts on the holographic interface.

Computer: All systems functioning within normal parameters. Verena’s vitals are stable. Neural activity is synchronized.

Vox: *exhales deeply* We did it… She’s going to be okay. Computer, initiate recovery protocols. Let’s monitor her closely until she wakes up.

Computer: Recovery protocols initiated. Verena is stable and showing signs of improvement.

Vox: *moves Verena to a more private room to rest…her old bedroom he had remade after the V-Tower had been destroy some years ago* Here you go princess. The best room in the house. *gently moves her to the bed and covers her up*

——————

Vox*walks out looked exhausted*

Alastor and Lucifer: VOX!

Alastor: How is she?!

Vox: *looking dead tired* She’ll be fine. It was a massive surgery. She maybe resting for a while. As for our deal Alastor, forget about it. She’s good, that’s all that matters. You two are her parents after all. I don’t want to take that away from her.

Alastor: Vox…

Vox: Excuse me…that surgery took a lot of me, I think I’m gonna *shuts down before finishing sentence*

Lucifer and Alastor: *catches him before he falls to the ground*

[feministdragon]

there's a certain kind of article on the internet that pisses me off so badly. it's written by a person with a surface-level understanding of the topic and little-to-no personal experience, who collates a few sources and then litters the information highway with yet another piece of trash

today's trash article is a discussion of bone broth.

my position on bone broth is that it has personally done a lot for my physical health, energy levels hair, skin and nails. but it matters a lot HOW i've been doing it. first, i've been cooking it myself, from organic bones, and with alcohol and certain kinds of vegetables, which increases the breakdown of the bones and release of nutrients in the water. second, I have been eating Mass Quantities, that is 1-2 bowls a day, with seaweed and other vegetable nutrients added, for almost 2 years now. the level of healing i've experienced is directly. proportional. to the amount and quality of the broth.

so it can help you. but you have to use quality ingredients, and invest time and energy into cooking it right, and you have to eat A LOT. and yes, many people don't have the time, resources and money etc, of course! so of course this can't help people who don't have the time, resources, money etc. this is not a cure all.

what makes me mad is the stupid black and white thinking the internet is prey to. like, if not everyone can benefit, then NO ONE can benefit. if vegans and vegetarians cannot benefit, then NO ONE can benefit. if poor and under-resourced people cannot benefit, then NO ONE can benefit. (the biggest of eye rolls)

and like, yes. people who don't beleive in eating animals exist. people with lack of access to resources exist. I feel a lot of compassion for both of these groups, but I can't! do anything! about their concerns! does that mean I am not supposed to share a method that CAN work for SOME people?

I myself am a former vegetarian. I've discovered that vegetarianism, combined with overwork and a lack of sleep, fucked my health right up. Do you know what I've found that fixed that? fucking bone broth. Is abandoning vegetarianism right for you??? maybe not! is bone broth right for you?? maybe not!! and that's okay!

so but, along comes this article which apparently is a gotcha about that bone broth is useless. which, if it were actually sourced from actual studies about actual bone broth, I might consider its arguments.

but you know what it actually argues?

that a) collagen supplements provide more and better collagen than bone broth, and b) you need the minerals from vegetables to make them available. Okay, but where do you think the fcuking collagen in supplements comes from? Fucking industrially produced fucking bone broth. just, y'know in giant factories, not in your kitchen, and reduced water content so it's a gell or a pill and not a soup. so what they're actually arguing is that industrially produced bone broth is better. which...okay, but that's bone broth. and it's true about the vegetables by the way, which is why you cook the fucking bones with vegetables when you make the broth, to make the bones more bioavailabile. So the recommendation here is actually: don't make bone broth yourself, take our pills and eat your salad like a good little girl.

that because proponents of bone broth tell you that glucosamine is one of the components of bone broth, and that glucosamine supplements don't work, therefore bone broth doesn't work. but we're not talking about fucking glucosamine supplements? we're talking about bone broth? which you haven't shown a study about the uselessness of?

then they're like, "okay, there's supposed to be protein and calcium in bone broth, but you can get more protein from other sources, and the calcium is actually very little, so you see, it's not very useful". you know what's very high in calcium? milk. do you know how bioavailable the calcium in milk is? Not Very! because you need magnesium to put calcium in the right places in your body. without magnesium, calcium ends up in your joints, causing stiffness and arthritic symptoms. magnesium signals calcium to go to the right places, your bones. If you cook bone broth right, with vegetables, then you have the magnesium to do the job right. but also, you have to drink a lot, on the daily. it's not like taking concentrated vitamins, it's broth, it's just soup, it's going to take greater quantities. Also the amount of daily calcium you need is not as much as milk ads have made people think.

here, all they say is they have no evidence to support that bone broth helps leaky gut syndrome. how and why does this merit its own number on their list? "Uh.....we got nothing, but we're going to make it a bullet point" okay there player

aaaaand this is the only point I agree with, because I'm also sick to fucking death of all of the claims of detoxing around. you can't detox your body. your liver does that shit. you can maintain your liver and kidney health to HELP them do that shit, but you can't eat stuff to do their job FOR them.

and so the article's grand conclusion? what they actually write is that maybe bone broth is okay, it's neutral. SO their main point is actually that bone broth is okay? Even though the tone of the article is trying to lead you to believe that it's a big scam, even though they have maybe one point that supports that?

so how is this article actually informing you in any way about the supposed failures of bone broth? all they're saying is that collagen supplements--industrially produced bone broth--is better than home-made, that glucosamine supplements are not bone broth, that bone broth doesn't have 'enough' calcium without discussing bioavailability and actual studies of the amount of calcium needed and the actual amount of bone broth required, they can't even back up their argument about gut health and they have to concede that it's still actually nutritious.

okay so that's your gotcha article.

Listen I understand that bone broth has become trendy, and i'm also sick to death of food trends that take off because they've been passed around the internet looking for the next big thing to promote. but articles like this are also fucking shady, because they're using false equivalencies and ad hominem and faint praise to do their takedown, instead of actual fucking facts and studies. it's just as lazy as all the next-food-trend promoters.

I just want the internet to actually be the accessible central repository of all human knowledge that we all think it is, is that too much to ask?

Admit One Dev Blog: Update 1

Did some work todaaay on Laaabour Dayyy Today I did some work on learning how use animation notifications and animation blending to allow the Player to draw an equipped weapon in Unreal Engine. One of the learning resources I've been using is this Udemy course here (if you're interest in grabbing it, it might worth while to wait until it's on sale, since Udemy sales occur pretty frequently). While it's likely I'll rip out and replace much of what I'm doing with this tutorial series (or have to reconnect a lot of things once I have custom art and animations) I still feel like running through this series has been helpful since I'm pretty new to Unreal (much more experienced in Unity and another now defunct game engine) and have been learning a lot.

This leads me to: ================================================ THE UNREAL LEARNING CORNER: Part 1 Whenever this segment shows up here I'll likely talk about some problem I've ran into and explain how I fixed it. None of these will be "be all end all" solutions but hopefully the record of these mishaps will be useful for someone, it will also be a good place to show off any funny bugs I may run into. The things I have today are pretty dry though. LET THE PARENT SKELETAL MESH CONTAIN THE MESH

So a Actor or Character Blueprint (a kind of prefab in UE that can also contain Visual Scripting Code) can contain a Skeletal Mesh component. In early effort to organize how the Player Character and Customization would be set up (would like there to be Character Customization, no grantee of that in a year though) I wanted to place all Meshs (art/models) underneath one parent in a attempt to segment up where all the clothing and other assets would be placed. I've basically achieved a similar goal by using a "Child Actor" (R and LFoot above). While it remains to be seen if that will completely work, I'm at least confident letting the Parent Mesh actually contain the Player's model prevents these two issues below.

Unreal when trying to reference the Mesh of a Blueprint will grab the uppermost Mesh in it's personal hierarchy by default, so without that Get Child Component node, there's no way it could actually effect my character in the way I wanted it to, in this case attaching a sword to their side. While kind of annoying to add another node, this wouldn't be so bad, however:

I couldn't find a way to access the child model and tell it to perform an animation. There may be a way to do this but ultimately just making the parent Skeletal Mesh actually contain the Skeletal Mesh seems to be the way to go so to avoid having to filter through what's supposed to be being affected. TRIGGERED VS STARTED Also you can see above that I'm activating the Anim Montage with the Triggered type of input detection(?), I haven't had the best luck with that just yet, I think it's for actions you're meant to hold down but Ongoing could also be used for that? Unsure. Regardless I recommend using Started for something you just want to hit once like a button press. Using Triggered here was actually causing a variable to change itself four times per button press which resulted in some inconsistent behavior and confusion.

================================================ So a bit simple today but I'm hoping these will steadily get more exciting as we go along. Thanks for reading!

My favorite ways to play GBA

by Amr (@siegarettes)

The GBA is one of my all time favorite consoles. With an iconic, pocketable form factor and an expansive library of games, I’m still finding ways to enjoy it, over twenty years after its release. And with so many different options to revisit that library, it can be easy to get wrapped up in finding the “perfect” way to play it. But the truth is, so much of the handheld experience is wrapped up in the hardware you play it on, that the best option is going to be different for each person. 

So today I’m going to run through my favorite ways to play GBA, why I picked them, and what makes each great. 

***

Before you start whipping out your wallet, look around your room, check your drawers, or dig through your garage and see if you’ve got a DS Lite hanging around. 

This was my GBA standby for years, and it still remains a great option. With a great clamshell design, rechargeable batteries, a built-in backlight, and perfect compatibility thanks to its built-in GBA hardware, it’s an accessible and fuss-free way to revisit old titles. As a bonus it plays, ya know, DS games. 

Audio output is clean, if a little bit low volume at times, but that can be fixed by pairing it with the right earbuds. The only real downsides are the aging hardware can make it a little harder to find good condition units, and the older screen and slightly higher resolution mean there’s slight ghosting and the image won’t fill the screen without stretching. 

The DS might not have the fidelity of modern options, but it’s an off the shelf solution with nearly every feature you’d want, with minor compromise and zero setup. 

***

If you want something closer to the original experience, a modded GBA can’t be beat. I prefer an original model GBA, since it’s less cramped than the SP. With a new lens and an IPS screen, and custom shells, you can get a unit looking nearly like new, with an image that easily outdoes the DS, and of course, has perfect compatibility and integer scaling. 

The biggest drawback is by far the price. The components for modding are reasonable alone, but quickly add up, especially if you want options like rechargeable batteries, or a fix to the noisy GBA headphone jack. Power consumption rapidly becomes an issue as you add additional mods, or use a flashcart. At one point I thought I had bricked my console, but it turned out the combination of the increased power usage of my flashcart combined with the new screen was simply drawing more power than the depleted batteries could put out. 

Even with those hassles and drawbacks, when I need that uncompromised, perfect compatibility, this is my personal favorite way to play GBA. Modern screens might give an experience closer to emulation than slightly blurred, washed out colors of unmodified hardware, but it looks so good it’s hard to make a fuss about it. 

If you’re lucky to live in a place where you can access professional modding services, through Etsy, eBay or otherwise, you can buy a pre-modded GBA for not too much more than it’d cost to build it yourself, and save yourself the anxiety of trying not to break anything in the process. 

I got mine from Gamechanger Mods in New York. They’ve got tons of fantastic custom colorways, and Greg was prompt and quick in making adjustments and sending the unit back and forth. Honestly, it was easily worth what I paid for it, but it’s difficult to recommend this option for anyone other than the most particular players. 

***

For people not going for original hardware, emulation is the easiest and best option. There’s a bit of a preconception that emulation is inherently and noticeably worse, but with over 20 years of emulator development, emulation has progressed to the point where, with the right hardware and software, it’s near indistinguishable from the real thing. The process itself introduces some inherent latency, but unless you’re playing a rhythm game or you’re a speedrunner attempting frame perfect tricks, you probably won’t notice. In return you get an incredible suite of features and flexibility. 

For my money, mGBA is hands down the best out there, with incredible accuracy and robust features that I didn’t even know I wanted. Tuned correctly, performance was even consistent enough for me to play games with tight timing, like Rhythm Heaven. It can’t make me good at them though. 

I do have to shout out VisualBoy Advance though, which hit early and paved the way for a lot of future efforts. I was legit emulating games as I kept current with physical releases, thanks to VBA. 

***

When I need a pocketable GBA emulator, to me the Anbernic 351P is the only option. The 351P has just enough power to run mGBA smoothly, with low latency, and just as importantly, has a screen that matches the GBA’s 3:2 aspect ratio, at a  perfect 2X integer scale. Basically no other portable emulator can say that. 

The shoulder buttons are similar to those on a GBA SP, but with microswitches and landscape form factor closer to the original GBA, as well as a good dpad, four responsive face buttons, dual analog sticks that click in, secondary shoulder buttons, and a rotary volume wheel. 

The same factors that made it ideal for GBA compromise the other systems it can play, but it’s generally still adequate otherwise. On top of accurate emulation, you can even configure it for save states, rewind and fast forward, and remap the controls as you please, which is a godsend in difficult action games like Mega Man Zero. 

The biggest problem is how much work you have to do to get it up and running. It’s not even worth using the stock firmware, and you might as well throw away the SD card it ships with, leaving you to flash a custom OS and load up your own SD card with ROMs, if you want it to meet what I’d consider the minimum standard for emulation. No matter what firmware you go with, you’ll be stuck with Retroarch, which is a miserable hassle to navigate, even after you get over the learning curve. 

Quality control is hit and miss too. My first unit had its headphone jack come loose through regular use, and the replacement I was sent had the same issue, even after I took extreme care with it. I ended up opening it up and resoldering the joints myself to repair it, which should NOT be a required step. 

Personally, the 351P is still by far the best portable emulator in terms of features, form factor and price, but it’s up to you if all that work is actually worth it. 

***

Now if price is no issue, and you somehow don’t care about portable play, the MiSTer project offers an incredible suite of alternatives to emulation. While software emulation still has it beat in flexibility, accessibility and diversity of options, a lot of the common conveniences are here, bolstered by an FPGA solution that emulates the system at a hardware level. It’s probably one of the most accurate ways to play GBA, barring original hardware, and still cheaper than trying to get a GBA Player running on modern screen, or modding a GBA into console form. 

There’s a lot to love in the MiSTer’s GBA core--from the infinite controller choices, micro adjustments you can make to the display and sound options, and even support for the same rewind, fast forward and save states you’d get elsewhere. 

By far my favorite feature is the 2 player GBA core. It’s a bit of a pain to import and edit save data, but it’s otherwise one of the fastest ways to get GBA multiplayer up and running, without the need for two systems, carts or link cables. There are so many ways to display the two screens, including outputting the second player to a separate screen. It opened up the possibility to easily play a lot of the multiplayer modes I’d never had the chance to check out. 

I legit brought my MiSTer to my local fighting game meetup and played loads of multiplayer GBA games, some for the first time. We tried everything from Sonic Battle to competitive Mega Man Battle Network. All with our own controllers or arcade sticks. 

***

And those are all my favorite ways to play GBA!

Each of these are great options, but don’t get wrapped in thinking they’re the only choices.

Regardless of which way you choose to play the GBA, there’s an incredible library to dig into, with ways to personalize the experience to fit exactly the life you’re living. 

The important part is to get out there, and play the damn games.

How to Extend the Life of Your Roof: Expert Advice from San Antonio Roofing Contractors

Your roof is one of the most critical components of your home, protecting you and your family from the elements year-round. In a city like San Antonio, Texas, where weather conditions can vary from extreme heat to unexpected storms, maintaining your roof’s integrity is essential. Proper roof care can significantly extend its lifespan, saving you thousands of dollars in premature replacements.

Schedule Regular Roof Inspections

One of the simplest yet most effective ways to extend your roof's life is by scheduling regular roof inspections. San Antonio roofing contractors recommend a professional inspection at least twice a year—ideally in the spring and fall. This ensures that any minor issues, like cracked shingles or leaks, are addressed before they become more significant, costly problems.

During an inspection, the roofer will check for:

Damaged shingles: Cracks, curling, or missing shingles can expose the roof to water damage. Flashing issues: Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights can deteriorate over time. Water damage: Signs of mold, mildew, or rot are indicators of water damage that should be addressed immediately. Sagging areas: This could be a sign of structural issues that need to be fixed.

Pro tip: Don't wait until you notice visible damage. Regular inspections can catch problems before they become emergencies.

Keep Your Gutters Clean

Clogged gutters are a leading cause of roof damage. When gutters are blocked with leaves, twigs, or debris, water can’t flow properly, leading to standing water on your roof. Over time, this water can seep into the roof, causing rot, mold, and damage to the structure.

Roofing contractors in San Antonio recommend cleaning your gutters at least twice a year, especially after the fall season when leaves are most likely to accumulate. If you're uncomfortable climbing ladders, consider hiring a professional for the job. Clean gutters ensure proper drainage and protect both your roof and your home’s foundation from water damage.

Trim Overhanging Branches

San Antonio homeowners with trees close to their houses should regularly trim any overhanging branches. These branches pose several risks:

Damage from falling branches: Strong winds or storms can cause large branches to break off and crash into your roof, damaging shingles and even puncturing the roof. Debris accumulation: Leaves and twigs can build up on your roof, leading to moisture retention and mold growth. Animal access: Overhanging branches can give pests like squirrels and raccoons access to your roof, where they may cause damage.

By trimming nearby branches, you’ll minimize the risk of roof damage and keep your roof cleaner in the long run.

Address Minor Repairs Immediately

A small leak may seem like a minor issue, but even tiny problems can lead to significant damage if left unaddressed. San Antonio roofing contractors advise homeowners to handle repairs as soon as they notice any signs of damage. Common warning signs include:

Water stains on ceilings or walls Dripping sounds during rainstorms Peeling paint or wallpaper

By repairing these issues promptly, you’ll prevent water from damaging the underlying structure of your roof, which can lead to mold, rot, and costly repairs. Don't attempt DIY fixes for roof issues unless you're experienced. Hiring a professional roofing contractor ensures that the job is done correctly.

Proper Attic Ventilation

Good attic ventilation plays a crucial role in prolonging the life of your roof. In San Antonio, where temperatures can soar, poor ventilation can cause heat to build up in the attic, baking your shingles and causing them to age prematurely.

Attic ventilation helps

Regulate temperature: Proper airflow helps keep your attic cooler in the summer, preventing damage to your roof's materials. Prevent moisture buildup: During cooler months, warm air from inside your home can rise into the attic. If this moisture has nowhere to escape, it can cause mold and rot to develop.

Consult with a roofing contractor to ensure your attic ventilation is adequate. They may recommend adding vents or adjusting the current system to improve airflow.

Apply Roof Coatings for Extra Protection

Roof coatings are a valuable investment to prolong your roof's life, especially in the San Antonio heat. Roof coatings act as a protective layer, shielding your roof from UV rays, heat, and moisture. There are various types of roof coatings available, including:

Reflective coatings: These reduce the roof's surface temperature, which can help lower your home’s energy costs. Waterproof coatings: These create an extra barrier to prevent water from penetrating your roof, ideal for areas that experience heavy rain.

Talk to your roofing contractor to determine the best coating for your roof material. This step can add years to your roof’s life, particularly in climates like San Antonio’s.

Choose the Right Roofing Materials

The type of roofing material you choose can have a big impact on its longevity. San Antonio roofing contractors recommend selecting materials that can withstand the city's climate conditions. Some durable options include:

Metal roofing: Extremely durable and resistant to extreme weather conditions, metal roofs can last 40-70 years. Clay or concrete tiles: These materials are common in warmer climates because of their excellent heat resistance and long lifespan (50-100 years). Asphalt shingles: While asphalt shingles are the most cost-effective option, they have a shorter lifespan of 20-30 years compared to other materials. However, they’re easy to replace and maintain.

Working with an experienced roofing contractor can help you determine the best material for your home and budget.

Protect Against Storm Damage

San Antonio is no stranger to severe weather, including heavy rain, hail, and high winds. Protecting your roof from storm damage is essential for long-term durability. Roofing contractors recommend several strategies to safeguard your roof, such as:

Install impact-resistant shingles: These shingles are designed to withstand hail and high winds, reducing the risk of damage during storms. Check roof flashing: Ensure that flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights is secure and in good condition to prevent water intrusion. Install hurricane straps: These straps help secure your roof to the home’s frame, reducing the risk of wind damage.

After any major storm, schedule an inspection with a roofing contractor to assess any potential damage and make repairs promptly.

Invest in Regular Roof Maintenance Plans

Many San Antonio roofing contractors offer regular maintenance plans, which include scheduled inspections, cleanings, and minor repairs. These plans are a cost-effective way to keep your roof in top shape year-round.

Regular maintenance plans provide several benefits:

Early problem detection: Contractors can catch issues before they become costly repairs. Longevity: Regular maintenance ensures that your roof is protected from the elements and small issues are addressed quickly. Peace of mind: You won’t have to worry about forgetting inspections or repairs, as your contractor will handle it all.

Talk to your roofing contractor about signing up for a maintenance plan to keep your roof in excellent condition.

Conclusion

Extending the life of your roof is achievable with the right care and attention. By scheduling regular inspections, cleaning gutters, trimming overhanging branches, and addressing minor repairs immediately, you can significantly prolong the lifespan of your roof. Additionally, investing in high-quality materials and protecting your roof from the elements will ensure it stays in great shape for years to come.

For homeowners in San Antonio, partnering with an experienced roofing contractor is key to maintaining a durable, long-lasting roof. Whether you need regular maintenance, emergency repairs, or a complete roof replacement, local experts are ready to help. By following these expert tips, you’ll keep your roof in optimal condition, safeguarding your home and your investment.
