We know most people are not excited about doing roof. Most people look forward to new kitchen or new bathroom, but regard a new roof as an unavoidable necessity. Here are some things to get excited about!
What to look for that shows you need a new roof.
Copper or Zinc protects the roof from algae. See how the copper in rain water from these old skylights on this old roof prevents algae growth. We can add Zinc Strips at Ridge to prevent algae growth for decades on your roof.
ROOF JOB CHECKLIST
Flat Roof: For residential we prefer the GAF Liberty System with 25 year warranty on material. We also install TPO roof, EPDM roof… Typically, we install these roofs on our commercial projects.
Roof Top Decks: We are specialists at this type of construction. An extremely common cause of leaks on rooftop decks is the junction of railing with roof. We have designed a method of attaching railing to rooftop that prevents leaks. What we do is completely unique in industry!
Roof to Wall Junctions: Requires Ice & Water Shield and step flashing. NO apron flashing on angled walls. Apron flashing is only approved for roof junction where roof junction with siding is level.
Roof to Chimney Junctions: A cricket is a small gable style roof that we build against the high side of chimney if roof runoff against the chimney is a concern.
Skylights: The best skylight flashing system is a step flash system. NOT a continuous solid flashing system. These skylights must be custom ordered, are more expensive, and therefore, most contractors do not install. We install because this is the best for your home warranty.
Ventilation: Roof and soffit.. Must work together for longevity of your roof. If ventilation is done incorrectly, you will have potential for mold buildup in your home. Additionally, poor ventilation leads to premature failure of plywood and roof. You can loose many years off the life of your roof if not properly ventilated.
Roof Repair: We specialize in repairing difficult to find roof problems and we never recommend replacing an entire roof if a repair can be made. Provided your roof still has at least 5 years of life left in it.
