| Common Questions about Vinyl and Cedar Siding Repair and Installation. |
|
How do I know when it is time to replace the roof on my home? |
|
Research indicates that the aging process for a roof begins soon after the shingles are installed and progresses rapidly during the initial curing phase of its life cycle. During this stage, granule loss may occur, small blisters may develop, or the shingles may curl slightly at their edges. You may even notice that this curling is more pronounced during cold weather and the shingles may life flat as temperatures rise. The good news, however, is that after this curing stage the shingles enter a long period of slow aging, which lasts for the major portion of the shingle's natural life. Expect a natural aging process. Just as the human body ages and changes appearance over the years, so too will your roof. Due to the severity of the roof environment, even a one-year-old roof may look different from a roof that was just installed. While you may have first noticed the cracks or blistering from the ladder as you were cleaning the gutters, please be mindful that these normal weathering characteristics may not be visible when you view the roof from your front lawn or driveway. And if the problem is not severe and the shingles are still providing the protection intended, then it is not a cause for alarm. Your roof is an important investment, since it literally protects you from the elements. While there are no magical creams or ointments to prevent your roof from aging, investing a small amount of time to examine your roof can reduce your anxiety and concerns about the normal aging conditions that affect it. |
|
How does the weather affect my roof? |
|
Weather can affect your roof in several ways, one of which is through the intense heat of the sun which can scorch the roof with temperature up to 50 and 75 degrees hotter then the ambient temperature. We can also include Moisture (Rain & Snow), Humidity, Algae, Wind, Ice and pollution (Leaves, Dirt, etc.) as contribute to the overall condition of your roof. |
|
How do I know which Roof type is best for my home? |
|
Vinyl siding has long been the standard for house siding. Vinyl siding companies often sell their products with thirty- to fifty-year guarantees, partly because vinyl is less likely to scratch, dent, bend, or warp. Individual siding panels can be replaced with ease. There are several types of Roof material to choose from such as Asphalt shingles (Architectural & 3-Tab). We will discuss all the options and walk you through the process of choosing the Roof material that is right for both your home and budget. |
|
How does algae affect my Roof shingles? |
|
Algae can grow on Roof shingles in moist areas and can discolor your roof shingles. Regular cleaning can inhibit the growth of algae and the resulting stains. |
|
Is fungus the same as moss? |
|
No. Moss is a green spongy plant like organism that usually grows on the north side of trees or in shady, damp areas. If a Roof shingle is covered with moist organic matter (leaves, etc.) or soil, and if there are minerals and fixed nitrogen present in the dirt, moss can grow. Again, regular cleaning can inhibit the growth of moss. |
|
What are ice dams? |
|
Ice Dams are a build up of ice near the eaves and gutters. Leaks can occur when this ice finds its way under the roof shingle, fascia, etc. |
