Maintenance & Roofing Inspections

Roof Inspections provide a baseline physical examination of an existing roof condition.
Maintenance involves the physical inspection of an existing roofing system to determine it’s current condition, detect weakness and failures and identify any potential future problems. Through a program of regularly scheduled annual or semiannual inspections, the company’s technicians assist owner in protecting their roofing investments by seeking to identify damage in its early stages. Early detection of leaks and roof system failures make it possible for the company to repair and extend the life of a roof system, which is significantly less expensive and time consuming than re-roofing.

Roof Repairs

Repair is a process where an existing roofing system has additions and adjustments made to it, such as caulking, re-roofing and repairing penetration to fix leaks in the roofing system.

We offer repairs for Homeowners, Real Estate Agents and Insurance claims.

Restoration

Restoration involves the major repair of the roof system, including the repair of all penetrations and resurfacing of the roof to restore it to serviceable condition. The opportunity to perform restoration work normally exists two or three years prior to the roofs end of its life cycle and before significant damage occurs. The cost of restoration is typically one half of the cost of re-roofing. We employ a team that has specialty training to be able to identify and correct major deficiencies in roof systems prior to replacement. This process can include coatings, re-flashings and modern design modifications.

Re-roofing – Tear off and Recovers

Re-roofing is the process of installing a new roof when a roofing system fails. Roofing system failures can be caused by a number of factors, including age, severe weather, poor workmanship, defective materials, improper specification of a roofing system, abuse and failure to maintain the roof via inspections.

Leakage in Attic After Wind-Driven Rain

Possible cause:
Leaky or inadequate shingle underlayment or deteriorated flashing

Leakage in Attic After Ice Build-Up

Possible cause:
Inadequate shingle underlayment allows water from ice dams to leak into attic

Blistering and/or peeling of interior and/or exterior paint

Possible cause:
Excessive temperature or high humidity due to poor attic ventilation

Stains on Interior Ceilings and Walls or Mold and Mildew Growth

Possible cause:
Inadequate or faulty shingle underlayment allowing leakage or inadequate ventilation

Exterior Decay, Sheathing, and/or Siding

Possible cause:
Poor attic ventilation

Missing, Cracked or Curled Shingles

Possible cause:
Shingles have reached the end of their useful life

Dark, “Dirty-Looking” Areas On Your Roof

Possible cause:
Environmental pollutants; vegetation, fungus or algae; loss of granules due to age of shingles

Excessive Energy Costs

Possible cause: Insufficient attic ventilation causes heating/cooling system to run excessively

In warm weather, inadequate ventilation will trap hot air in the attic, causing air conditioning systems to work harder, or leaving your home’s interior hotter and less comfortable.

Attic Ventilation: In both hot and cold weather, insufficient attic ventilation may cause moisture in the attic to become trapped and condense on the rafters. This condensed moisture can drip down onto the insulation and reduce its effectiveness.

Excessive energy costs can result.
