A good quality roof can last as long as 50 years, but many are damaged by weather well before then. If your roof shows signs of more than just minor damage, it may be time to replace it.

There are many signs of problems or issues with your roof. Unresolved roof leaks let water into your roof whether you can see it or not. That water slowly rots the plywood and rafters, allowing mold to form in the attic and wall spaces.

Getting a leak fixed early will prevent bigger problems and expenses down the road.

ROOF MAINTENANCE & INSPECTIONS

Regular roof inspection is essential to ensuring both quality and longevity of your roof. All roofs eventually wear down over time. Roofs that are past warranty or have recently been exposed to severe weather should be inspected.

When we inspect your roof, we carefully evaluate the following details and check for all of the following:

Missing, broken, or torn shingles
Worn away shingle granules
Cracked or missing caulk
Rusted or missing flashing
Rotted or torn rubber boots around pipes
Wood rot or sagging areas
Cracks in chimney or missing caps
Gutters that aren’t securely attached

ROOF INSTALLATION, REPLACEMENT, TEAR-OFF

The process of installing a new residential roof usually consists of three major steps.

Preparation

Beginning by preparing your house and the surrounding area for the project.

This includes: turning off the sprinkler system, removing any hanging items and setting up tarps and protecting landscaping with plywood. We take all precautions to protect your home throughout the roof installation process.

Restoration

The first step is removing the old roof. The underlying roof deck is inspected for cracks and wood rot. Next, the deck is prepared so that the shingles, slate or tile lay flat.

Installation of the new roof then begins. Proper and skilled installation is key to preventing damage or leakage, while increasing the lifetime of the new roofing system. New roof installation can take up to a few days.

Cleanup

Once the installation process is complete, our company will start to clean up. We will get rid of any debris around the work site and remove all nails. We want to make sure we leave your house and yard as we found it, in the best possible shape.
