Dulles Roof Repair Contractor

Asphalt and fiberglass shingles are very durable and water resistant.  Higher quality shingles, under optimal conditions, could last you 30 years. Realistically, if your shingles are more than 15 years old, you will want to have them looked at. If you live in a snow belt or high-heat area you may want to consider re-roofing soon. The lower pitch you have on your roof the more damage they accrue annually.

It is a good idea to have your roof inspected every fall and spring, after hailstorms, and after periods of high winds. Any shingles that are cracked, curled broken, or missing needs to be replaced immediately. Roof Repair, VA employs professionals that have a fine attention to detail and that are trained to find that one shingle that may be out of order.
When considering if you should re-roof or not. Never let anyone add a second layer of shingles over your preexisting ones. The old shingles must be removed and a new layer applied. More is not always better. A square of shingles weighs about 240 pounds. One square will cover roughly 100 square feet. Your home may require nine or more squares. Nine squares are 2160 pounds. That is a lot of extra weight on the roof of your home. Again, you do not want to double layer your shingles. Most roofs are not made to handle the weight of a double shingle load. Dulles roof repair contractors know roof limitations and guarantee that the roof replacement will be done right the first time.

When re-roofing remember that it is not something that can be performed easily during the winter. Cold or wet weather hinders the ability to re-roof your home. Don’t wait till leaks start to destroy your home. Have a Dulles roof repair contractor come out to your home during the spring and summer months. When it comes to your roof it is always best to be proactive.

How important is roof inspections and roof repair. A roof that has one bad shingle can ruin hundreds of feet of roofing and the attic in just 5 years. A damaged or missing shingle is not the only cause of this. Poor installation of a shingle can be equally as damaging. When a Dulles roof repair contractor staples the shingles to your roof, they must be meticulous in their procedure. A staple that has not been driven in properly can cause all the problems stated above. If the staple is under driven (not stapled in far enough), overdriven (stapled in too deep), or crooked; leaking and other problems may occur. An exposed nail can equally create the same problems as a poorly driven staple. Roof Repair, VA experts have the experience to make sure every nail and staple is driven correctly; making your re-roofing experience positive for years to come.
