In a civilized society, everyone wants and needs a "roof over his head"! It makes perfect sense that one of the most important areas of your home or business is the roof. Actually, it is probably the MOST important! Considering that your roof is out of your eyesight on a daily basis, minor damage is sometimes overlooked. It might take a major event, such as a violent storm or maybe just a heavy rainstorm to turn your attention to your roof. Of course, if you notice discoloration on the walls or ceiling or water leaking into the house, it then becomes obvious roofing problems are on the horizon. Rather than waiting for that scenario to happen, it would be prudent of you to conduct a regular check for existing or potential roof problems. Don't wait until the roof starts leaking! Climbing onto the roof on your own may not be feasible and may even be unsafe. You can use binoculars to aid you while you look for out of sight abnormalities from the ground.and you can visually notice things such as: sagging, cracked, curled or misshapen shingles. Also, if your gutters are filled with a lot of asphalt granules, that's a sign that the shingles may be breaking down. These are some of the ways for you to determine if your roof is in need of replacement or at the very least, repair. The age of the roof is also a clue as to whether your house might be a candidate for a new look. Of course, instead of relying on yourself, the better option would be to hire an established, experienced professional roofing company to conduct a more thorough inspection.
That is where our company can step in and determine what, if any, damage has occurred and offer suggestions as to what would be the best solution to get the roof in acceptable condition. We will check for cracks on the shingles, the flashing around the chimney, and the rubber boots around the vents. If there any skylights, we will also examine them for any irregularities. Prompt attention to even minor damage prolongs the life of your roof and could increase the value of your home. Unfortunately, there are times when the damage is all too obvious. For instance, with a devastating weather occurrence, such as high winds, flood like rainstorms, tornadoes and those wretched seasonal hurricanes, you may experience losing some shingles/tiles from the roof or even worse, you might look up to see no roof at all. Blustering winds often rip into those shingles/tiles and destroy with no mercy. The impact of trees, branches and limbs falling on top of the house or crashing through the roof allows rain to pour right inside turning your home into a soggy mess. Water damage is detrimental to both the home and your belongings. Water soaked ceilings and walls fall apart and everything crumbles into a pile of disgusting debris. Another cause of ruin is when a fire breaks out, turning everything, including the roof, into ashes and dust. |

There are different types of materials used for the covering, such as asphalt shingles, slate shingles, laminated shingles, wood shingles, metal panels and tiles. Our roofing experts can guide you in your choice of cover. They will advise you of the best selection for your particular house because not every roofing material can be used on every roof. Flat roofs need a surface different from a steeper pitched roof. Slate and tile tend to be very heavy so the structure of your house might not be adequate enough to bear the load. Asphalt shingles are the most common as they are one of the least expensive materials and are available in different colors. They are commonly used on sloped surfaces and single houses.Asphalt is also one of the easiest to install and comes in different thicknesses and textures. These types of shingles can be treated to guard against mildew and mold.

There are various types of roof styles and our company is qualified to work with all of them. Here are a few:

Two more roofing options are BUR (built up roofing) and single-ply. Built-up roofing uses multiple layers of tar and gravel which forms a watertight seal over the roof. Single-ply is made up of plastic membrane sheets which are rolled out over the surface of the roof. They are then welded together creating a permanent, watertight covering stopping leaks from occurring.

Storms aren't always the villains in wreaking havoc on your roof. Just normal wear and tear, along with age, eventually cause deterioration in one way or the other. So, once again, we want to impress upon you the importance of regular checkups and maintenance. If a complete new roof isn't necessary, let us replace those single shingles or tiles that are out of kilter. If your roof can be repaired in a viable manner, we can and will take that course of action, with your consent. No job is too big or too small. If the flashing, chimney, gutters, eaves or underlying wood need to be replaced, not a problem! The soffit (wood or metal panel on the underside of the roof's overhang) and the fascia (board that runs vertically along the roof line) suffer water damage over a period of time and animals (birds, squirrels, and even mice) tend to nest in the soffit and soft spots caused by rotted wood. Let our company crew get rid of those unwanted critters and tear down and replace the deteriorated parts. Additionally, we offer the installation and repair of gutters and downspouts, which are important to the drainage of rain water and prevent the buildup of same.
While in the process of removing the existing roof, our hard working crew will proceed in a cautious and safe manner, taking care to protect your property from harm. These conscientious professionals will make a point of tidying up the surrounding property, collecting any and all debris and hauling it off the premises. We will offer an upfront and honest opinion for your consideration.
Prompt on the spot service will be provided in emergency situations....severe storm damage causing loss of part of the roof or the the entire structure. In high volume emergency situations (tornado or hurricane damage) we can protect your openings with heavy tarps that are waterproof until we can get to your roof replacement.

Occasionally, a customer will ask if we can just do a "roof on roof" (put a new roof on top of an existing roof). In the industry it is called a "recover". Below are listed some of the cons for recovering your old roof:
DISADVANTAGES OF A RECOVER:

ADVANTAGES OF A TEAR OFF:

As you would expect, if you already have a recovered roof, there can be no additional recover option. A replacement is the only answer.

Replacing that worn down and tired looking old roof is not only practical but a fresh new rooftop displayed over your home enhances the appearance of your house and increases the value of your entire property. It also adds a nicer overall neighborhood view. If you are not in the market for a whole new roof just yet. Then consider the alternative. Let our pro roofers do a complete examination of every nook and cranny on that roof. If repairs are a practical consideration, that might be the way to go.
We all know that when we have a leaky roof, the telltale signs are stained walls and/or ceilings. Locating the area of the leak can be tricky because even if water is dripping down in one spot, it could be leaking down to another before it shows up in the living space. Not all leaks are caused by missing or damaged shingles/tiles. Inadequate flashing or roof covering breakdown can also cause the problem. Our crew is trained to find leaks quickly and they can provide needed repairs promptly. We don't want you to be stranded in the rain (so to speak) while placing buckets down in strategic places. Leakage from the roof is also of concern after a severe storm. Remnants of hail from a storm can pound your roof with enough intensity to leave dents or pit marks. We are equipped to deal with that scenario.
Another prime issue is dry rot and wood rot. Our workers will look for signs of rot under the roof decking, in the roof framing and in the fascia (the trim to which gutters are attached) and on the rake boards (the trim on the gable end of the roof). If wood rot is found, it most likely will have to be replaced before roof repair or replacement can begin. Once again, a job to be handled by our hard working pros.

Cost is naturally of concern with any project you take on. Several considerations can affect how much you will have to pay. Beside the material, there are other factors in pricing. Putting on a new roof most likely means stripping off the old one. The exception would be if a wind or storm completely blew the existing roof away. Maybe the supporting structure is in need of repair. The style of roof is another thing to be factored into the price. We want to help you keep your costs to a minimum so we strive to do the best job we can to assist you in keeping your budget in mind.
