Roofing
A to Z Home Maintenance adheres to a process
for replacing roofs that has proven to be efficient, successful,
and enduring. Careful preparation ensures that you, the
homeowner, are satisfied with not only the completed job itself,
but also the manner in which it progresses. Prior to work
beginning, the ground around the house is tarped to ensure that
debris is contained and that none will be left behind.
A dumpster is provided at each job site for the removal of old
materials and garbage. All existing roofing material is
stripped from the roof down to the plywood decking. Any
soft or deteriorated plywood is replaced. Ice and water
shield is installed on all lower eaves and all valleys, as well
as around all skylights. New felt paper and aluminum drip
edge are installed. We utilize thirty year architectural
shingles and all materials utilized in your new roof are of
the highest standard.
Leaky Roofs
Roof repairs are often
made after damage has occurred. However, if you are
attentive and keep up on regular roof maintenance, you can
avoid preventable damage altogether.
A leaky roof is one of
the most common problems homeowners must face. A variety
of problems, including mold and mildew infestation and damage
to the home's foundation, can result from a leaky roof.
There are number of places
on the roof more prone to leaks. These include fields
of shingles, valleys or low spots on the roof, skylights,
chimneys, plumbing vent flashings, wall step flashings, ice
dams, and places with missing shingles.
A wet spot on the ceiling
is often the first sign of a roof leak. In this case,
the source of the leak might be located by tracing it back
to its source on the roof. Be aware, however, that the
source of the leak could be a considerable distance away from
where it is dripping into the home. A trained professional
can determine the source of the leak and the most effective
way to correct it and prevent additional damage. Our
roofing crews are available for emergency and quick response
reparation work to intercede and prevent further damage to
your home in the event of a leak or other damage.
Its to your benefit to
have your roof inspected from time to time even when it is
not leaking. This can help you to avoid leaks and prevent
damage from occurring in the first place. Have the roof
inspected after a heavy snow or rain, and after serious
weather occurrences like tornados or hail. Even something
simple like a clogged downspout or gutter can cause a leak
in your roof , so its important to have your gutters cleaned
as part of our spring and fall cleanup packages to keep the
roof looking and working like new.
