It is also the source of countless headaches for homeowners.

The problem arises when estimating a price to replace a roof. In order to properly replace the roof, any decking that is rotten or cracked must be replaced. This is because there must be a nailable surface to nail the shingles. However, it is hard to tell how much decking needs to be replaced until the shingles are removed. You can usually see 80% of the decking from the attic, however there is still a portion that is unknown, which is usually the area where the decking is rotten. So instead, roofing companies will give a price per sheet and try to give an educated guess as to how many sheets need to be replaced. This can be very frustrating for a homeowner, but please be patient because this really is the only way.

There is also a lot of confusion with decking and insurance coverage. Both rotten plywood and cracked board decking must be replaced in order to properly roof a house. However, rotten plywood decking is excluded from coverage because rot is not covered in the policy, but board decking is covered if it is cracked because a nailable surface is needed.

If you have any questions about decking, then please give our office a call at 770-419-2222 to speak with one of our roofing consultants.

Hail Damage

However, hail damage is not as obvious as one might think. If you can’t see your roof, then it is impossible to determine if you have hail damage until you start having problems.

So if you have any suspicion or know that there was a hailstorm in your area, then you should check the trees around your house, the siding on your house, and even your car. If any of these areas show signs of hail damage, then you probably have hail damage on your roof.

Although it has been relatively calm in our area this year, it is important to stay on the watch just in case. If you have any hail damage or any questions, then please call us at 770-419-2222 to speak with one of our roofing consultants.

We developed this new section to give our customers the opportunity to create a roofing system specifically tailored to their home. It allows our customers to design their own roof online by choosing which options they would like to include. We are always looking for ways to help our customers get exactly what they want, and what better way then to allow them to literally click exactly what they want.

This is great for customers that aren’t familiar with roofing. We explain what each option is and then allow you to decide which to include on your roof. It is not only a great way to introduce yourself to the roofing world, but it also goes above and beyond explaining the differences between each option.

Design Your Shingle Roof is also perfect for customers in need of an estimate but have no time to meet a roofing consultant at their home. If you fill out the form, then it allows you to be there without actually being there. It eliminates any confusion as to what exactly you want included in your estimate and all we have to do is collect the measurements, which nobody has to be home for.

We believe this new addition to our website will make your roofing experience a little easier and a lot less confusing. So feel free to Design Your Shingle Roof. We will give you a call to set up an appointment for one of our roofing consultants to meet with you or if you can’t be there, then we will collect the measurements and get back to you with your self-designed roof.

Gutters should be hailed as the savior of the home. They provide an additional component of protection from the elements. It is vital to have gutters on your home for three main reasons.

They help reduce the risk of a cracked foundation. Rainy weather causes the soil around your home to expand due to saturation. As the soil dries, it contracts. This repeating expansion and contraction compromises your foundation leading to cracking and serious problems for your home.

They help reduce the risk of stained siding. As rain flows off of your roof, it hits the ground with such force that it causes the ground to splash back onto your home. This splash back is comprised of dirt and other material located in the soil next to your home. The dirt will stick to the siding and eventually cause a stain if it is left unclean.

They help reduce the risk of causing damage to the landscape around your home. This pertains mainly to the landscape near the gutter line. The rain flowing off of the roof can negatively affect the plants and even damage. This includes physical damage to the plants as well as problems with fungi and insects.

It is important for the health of your home to have a gutter system that directs the rain and other runoff away from your home.

Also, remember that just having gutters will not rectify these problems if you do not properly clean them on a regular basis. A clogged gutter will actually cause more problems for your home. So use gutters to stay proactive with your home’s maintenance in order to save yourself money on potential damage down the road.

Roofing can be very dangerous. Professionals with knowledge of the proper safety techniques should only attempt repairing a leak. They possess the knowledge of the best techniques for getting on the roof, using safety harnesses, how to walk the roof, etc. This knowledge and experience really makes the difference where safety is concerned. The height and steepness of the roof added with the inexperience of a novice combine to make it a very unsafe environment.
Without the use of proper techniques for handling and installing material, the result will most likely end in chaos. And like I said before, trying to use copious amounts of caulk or buying a can of flex seal is going to be the last thing you want to do.

So instead of causing more damage in an attempt at a cheap repair, go ahead and call a professional. You can reach one at 770-419-2222.
