Despite public awareness, people from all states fall victim to this common scam. Usually, storm chasers will flock to an area hit by nasty hail or wind damage and prey on unsuspecting homeowners in need of repairs. They offer low rates and do the bare minimum to give the appearance of a proper replacement or repair. Homeowners suffer from a poorly constructed roof while the fraudulent company has vanished.

The most common weak spots on your roof are areas that need protection from flashing. However, damaged shingles or damage in the waterproofing material which lays underneath the shingles are also common causes of roof leaks.

Think about what's on the ground and protect it!

A dome roof is polygonal with an inverted bowl shape. Dome roofs are great for adding unique and aesthetically pleasing features to any home. They are excellent choices for cupolas, gazebos or crow’s nests.

It's essential to have a metal roof installed by a qualified, experienced contractor.

A shed roof only slopes down in one direction. It is sometimes used on a lower porch roof and ties into a wall or upper steeper roof. It is also used on smaller buildings where one wall is built taller than the opposite one to create the pitch, hence the term "shed roof."

This is one is all too common. The door-to-door roof salesman shows up at your house with the promise of a free roof. Again, you’ll most typically these these salespeople after a big storm.

Both residential and commercial roofing is on the rise, and even if new homes and businesses slow, roof repairs and maintenance will always still be a steady stream of work for both commercial and residential roofing companies.

Factory certified contractors use the best materials.

During storm season, make sure trees are trimmed ahead of time.

A patio deck isn't the only one you have!

Your roof’s age is one of the most important considerations. Most asphalt shingles have a lifespan of about 15 – 30 years. If the roof is damaged but most of it is still in good shape, a spot repair may make sense. But, if the roof is approaching (or past) 20 years old, replacing it may be the better way to go long-term.

A curved roof is much like the Skillion, or Shed roof, but the planes are curved. It is very modern and provides a unique, creative roof design. The amount of curve can vary from slightly curved up to an arch shape.

If you have a metal roof put on now, chances are good that you’ll never have to replace it again in your lifetime. Metal roofs generally last for 50 years or more. Compare that to the 20 year life expectancy of a shingle roof, and a metal roof looks like a truly great investment.

Thatch roofs were developed around 735 BC. King John of England decreed in the 12th century that thatch roofs are to be replaced by clay tiles to avoid fire. Unfortunately, it did not prevent the Great London Fire in 1666 because the houses were made of wood and pitch.

So flat isn't really flat…I guess we can't call it a "mostly flat" roof. LOL

Also known as pitched or peaked roof, gable roofs are some of the most popular roofs in the US. They are easily recognized by their triangular shape.

Metal roofs require very little in the way of maintenance. They are not a breeding grounds for algae and mold like many other roofing materials, so you won’t have to worry about frequent roof cleaning. There are no shingles to replace or keep nailing down. Today’s metal roofs are made from rust-proof materials, like zinc-aluminum blend, so you don’t even have to paint or coat them. Re-sealing the joints between panels every 20 years or so is the only typical maintenance that is sometimes needed.

When selling your home, a bad roof can easily kill the deal.

A pyramid roof is a type of hip roof. All four sides come to a point at the top of the roof. There are no vertical sides or gables.

The underlayment is the last stand for water attacking your roof.

All materials used on your roof should complement each other.

Trees that aren't kept trimmed away from your roof can cause major damage.

Move your vehicles to prevent any possibility of damage during the roof installation!

A hip roof, is a type of roof where all sides slope downwards to the walls, usually with a fairly gentle slope.

As you consider the costs, you may or may not be able to lay another layer of shingles over the existing roof, rather than removing the current layer and starting “from scratch.” At the same time, removing the old shingles will allow you to inspect the roof deck or sheathing, and add ice-and-water-shield membrane along the eaves (which can only be applied to a clean deck and will help prevent damage due to ice dams).

Does this seem high? It shouldn’t. Of course, there are always yearly repairs or replacements for a certain percentage of commercial and residential building owners, but there are also renovations, storms, or additions that increase this number every year.
Many of the statistics show that the roofing industry is booming, but it also shows that repairs, replacements, and maintenance are important and worth the investment.

Ventilation is like breathing - it's NOT an option for you or your roof.
