New Construction:

You may be asking, what can I expect with a new construction project, and this is a great question to ask, and the answer is a complete inspection of the entire structure’s envelope of which will aid in the anaylisis of the intended roof type.

This will include the deck, insulation and covering. 

 

Roof Inspections:
 

What Happens During A Roof Inspection?

Perhaps you’ve seen water stains on your ceiling or water dripping from your roof recently. In any case, now is the moment to act and resolve your roof problems. 

 

The best inspections are produced by:

• Proposing a cost-effective, workable solution to your issue

• Identifying every possible entry point for water into the building

• Identifying HVAC, vents, pipes, gutter and downspout issues

• Describing the issues and solutions in an easy-to-understand approach

• Providing photo documentation of roof condition

​

But what happens during the inspection itself? Here, we’ll go through everything that happens during a roof inspection, from beginning to end.

 

It starts from the inside:

From the inside of the structure, we will conduct a roof check. The purpose is to see where the water’s path comes to an end. Where the water stops on its route is a good indicator of where the leak started.

If you have water stains in your tiles, for example, the position directly above on your roof is a good estimate of where the water is entering the building.

A puncture in that place is another sign. If an HVAC unit is located right above on the roof, it’s a good bet that the leak originates there.

 

Includes walking the roof:

We will inspect the roof for particular conditions, such as:

• Ponding water

• Holes in the substrate

• Cracks

• Blisters

• Uplifted seams

• Uplifted nails and/or shingles

• Incorrect / badly performed roof repairs

• Trace roof leaks, HVAC flashings, gutters, drains, vents

• Determine condition of previous roof installations

• ​

We will begin at the edge and work their way towards the center of the roof. One reason is that you ensure that no part of the roof is overlooked. Another explanation is that the perimeter borders of the roof have a larger chance of generating a leak than the roof’s field.

The reason for this is that the perimeter edges of a roofing system can be lifted by the wind. On a single-ply roofing system, this usually leads the edges to lose adhesion before the roof’s field.

​

Roof Repairs:

​

Why is Roof Repair important?

All properties must have their roofs repaired on a regular basis.

In order to extend the life and the value of your roof, you will need to repair it.

Our team will evaluate the issues that contribute to the need for roof repairs.

We will also help you plan for the long-term maintenance of your roof.

​

Lack Of Maintenance Leads to Costly Repairs

 Lack of Roof maintenance  can lead to more costly repairs in the future, or possibly an expensive replacement.

Following installation, hire a professional to conduct routine inspections and maintenance.

​

Poorly Designed Roofs

A poorly built roof is one of the most common reasons for repair or replacement. We can provide a manufacturer’s warranty that covers both the installation and the roofing materials installed.

​

Wind Damage

Wind can cause the edge of roofing panels or shingles are blown away by the wind it creates a partial vacuum.

Although, wind damage is commonly associated with severe weather events however, it can even occur when winds reach speeds of 60 miles per hour. In order to keep this problem from occurring, the medal edge strips will need to be applied properly. 

​

Flashing Damage

Flashings help prevent water from entering through seams in addition to areas such as where the roof meets the chimney.

They are the first component of a roof system to deteriorate. Monitor your flashings closely as part of routine maintenance.

​

Roof repair is necessary; however, it is especially important for older roofs. Therefore, by having repairs completed early will save you money on roof replacement.
