When Choosing a Local Roof Builder

Roof concerns won't be very forgiving when they are evident. Sometimes you're fortunate enough to own a roof that lasts thirty years or so, but many times your roof will spring a leak all of a sudden and you're forced to make a decision.

This article describes what we do when checking your roof and it could also be a rule of thumb to use even though you do not have a home in Langley BC. If you decide to call a local roofer in to provide you with a quote, keep these points in mind and check if he covers the same points we do when checking your roof.

Efficient roof examinations necessitate a combination of the right tools and past experience to recognize the problem. Once we visit your house we perform an in-depth assessment of the roofs tiles, skylights, gutters, vent stacks, flashings, exterior and glass to identify the exact position of your roof leak. We'll unearth the problem and restore it as soon as possible.

Your Choices

There are plenty of things to take into account. Is it safe to patch up and maintain for a bit, or bite the bullet and replace the roof? Repairs may cost you less up front, but it may make more sense to spend the money on a new roof now rather then go with damage control. Here are a few tips for you to consider prior to making that decision.

Roof Restore & Evaluation Advice

1. Do not walk on the roof unless you know where you can step 2. With time all shingles lose strength and start to twist or blister from the heat of the sun, and Surrey does have long, warm, sunny periods in summer. These curled shingles are susceptible to wind damage and can allow water to move under them, ultimately causing a drip. The fact is, it is a good suggestion to examine your roof after any strong winds to ensure everything's still in place.

3. Bear in mind to look around for loose or exposed nails. Heavy winds can weaken nails ever more, eventually letting so much shingle flex that shingles will blow off. Visual checks after wind storms is very important.

4. Another sign your roof is due to be fixed is trashy-looking shingles or uneven edges or missing granules. These indicators signify a breakdown of the shingle material and integrity.

5. Weakened flashing, rust spots, dark patches or dirty sections and also buckling or sagging in the middle of your roof are all signs your roof needs attention.

What to Look For Inside

The inside inspection may well be more difficult, but it will better prepare you for speaking to a local roofing repair contractor. Seek out ceiling spots or obvious sagging between rafters. How soon you catch the trouble determines how expensive roof repair will be. We recommend you have us perform an thorough check of your roof after you complete your inspection.

It's tricky for any amateur to pinpoint just where a trickle originates, thus you need someone with the right equipment to do this for you. A reliable inspection gives you a far more precise assessment of the damage than you'll be able to have by yourself. A skilled roofer can tell you if a simple roof repair is sufficient or if replacing the roof completely is the better most suitable option.
