Roofs

Your roof's covering is the critical part of your homes' first line of defense. There are many different roofing materials that make up a roof. Each playing an important role in keeping moisture away from your home and off your roof. Improperly installing these materials can cause leaks and lead to expensive repairs and maintenance late down the line. We will make sure that everything is properly placed, ventilated and sealed to help avoid this.

We service both Residential and Commercial Roofs



Knowing you have a leak is obvious when you see a water stain on your ceiling. However, it can be much harder to know exactly where the leak is coming from.


Here are 3 Signs that you may have a roof leak: (Not limited to)

  • Water stains on ceilings or walls

  • You have missing and/or damaged shingles

  • Water spots or wet roofing deck seen through the attic

Inside your home

* Check the attic for leaks which often leave dark stains on rafters and the underside of decking. Most likely areas are around the chimney, vents, skylights and valleys.


* Check for mold on the underside of roof decking. This usually happens when ventilation is poor, and moist air builds up in the attic.


* See if decking is sagging between the rafters. Sagging decking materials or broken rafters may have been badly damaged by consistent, long-term leaking.


* Make sure soffit and ridge vents, gable vents and any roof vents aren't blocked by insulation or storage items. Proper ventilation will help prevent structural damage caused by moisture, increase roofing material life, reduce energy consumption, and enhance the comfort level of the rooms below the attic.


* Make sure that your attic floor is covered with a gap-free layer of insulation to help prevent heated or air-conditioned air from escaping your home.

Do you need a New Roof?

Your roof may have a warranty of 15, 30 or even 50 years, but they may not last as long depending on the pitch of your roof, quality of the installation, quality of the attic ventilation and weather conditions in your area. If your roof is showing serious signs of wear, ask a roofing professional to inspect it for you and whether it needs to be replaced; if your roof has been badly damaged by hail or wind, contact your insurance company.

Roofs can sometimes reach the end of their useful life without you experiencing and damage. It just the appearance, they may look old and worn and you are looking to be proactive and are doing preventive maintenance.

Delaying replacing an old roof can result in large problems down the road.

How often a roof needs replacing depends on the type of roof as well as the weather conditions that you reside in.
