ROOFING TIPS

Do I need to replace or repair my roof??

Your roof should only need replacing if it is over 15 – 19 years old and if your roofing has passed by a significant hail damage storm, or if you have several roofing problems. Most roofs last 15-20 years, depending on the material and installation. Leaks tend to occur between 10-16 years and, most of the time, only need to be repaired. Repairs that are performed should help your roof last 1-2 years.

Does lighter-colored shingle help lower Heating and Air Condition costs?

If your home has a proper ventilation system, there is no need to choose a lighter color shingle. The ventilation system will help keep your roof cool. If you are in an area with many trees, we recommend a darker-colored shingle or an algae-resistant shingle (Now, every shingle comes with a minimum of 10 Years of Algae Resistant). The algae-resistant shingle resists algae for approximately 10 to 15 years, depending upon your location. Regular roof cleaning will help prevent stains even longer. We recommend cleaning your roof 1-2 times a year to help extend the life of your roof products.

All roofs should use the new Synthetic lightweight polymer-based underlayment, outperforming felt and outclassing other synthetics. Designed for use on roof decks as a water-resistant layer beneath asphalt roofing shingles, this scrim-reinforced underlayment includes a special top surface treatment that provides excellent slip resistance, even when wet.

Low-pitched, almost flat roofs require Full Ice & water shield as underlayment for maximum protection. The difference between the 15 pounds, 30 pounds, and synthetic felt is the thickness and cost.

Tips: You may use 30 pounds of felt or NOW the new synthetic underlayment on your roof if you like, but ensure enough ventilation, so your roof doesn’t sweat. Roof sweating will take years off the life of your newly installed roof.

What are my leakage warranty options?

  • Repairs 2-5 year leakage warranty
  • Roof Replacement: 10 to 15-year leakage or blown-off shingles warranty
  • Please inquire for more information or additional warranty options

What should you look for in a Roofing Contractor?
Could you check your roofing contractor’s experience before hiring them to build your roof? Finding a qualified professional roofer can seem like a difficult task. Still, if you do your homework and follow a few tips, the experience of replacing your roof could be positive.

  • There are several credentials that a good roofing contractor will have.
  • They will have an established company with a permanent address, telephone numbers, and a business license.
  • The roofer should provide information about certifications, bonding, and insurance.
  • All home improvement Contractors and Subcontractors must be licensed by the MHIC. Inquiries about contractors or subcontractors should be transmitted to the                         MHIC @ 410-333-6309. & / Or https://www.dllr.state.md.us/license/mhic

NOTE: A roofing contractor must have valid insurance. They should carry both workers’ compensation insurance and general liability insurance. Otherwise, the homeowner could be liable for accidents or property damage during job installations. Be bold, ask for proof of insurance, and verify that the dates are effective.

  • A professional roofing contractor should provide you with a detailed written estimate describing the materials they will use, labor costs, warranty specifications, and an estimated completion time.
  • It’s a good idea to Get at least three bids on a large project, such as replacing your roof. The lowest price does not always equal the best deal. Significantly lower prices could mean that a contractor is cutting corners with the quality of his workers or insurance liability. The final payment should be made after the project is completed satisfactorily.
  • A professional roofing contractor will provide you with a contract that describes all the agreements and procedures in detail and includes information about necessary building permits. The contractor should obtain any building permits if required.
