🔊An unattended water leak can lead to greater problems. A water leak can cause the growth of mold and the buildup of interior water damage. When left unaddressed, the problem often gives rise to more complicated issues that will require you to put out a larger sum of money to get it fixed.

😮It is also important to note that when water accumulates in your attic, it may eventually result in a potential fire hazard. The insulation in your attic will most likely become saturated. Additionally, when the insulation is saturated with water, it can affect your property’s energy consumption as there will be a tendency for cold or warm air to find its way out of the house. As a result, the normal energy consumption of your property will most likely change.

You love your roof, don't you? What's not to love? It's always there, keeping you and your family safe from all sorts of bad things that fall from the sky in this part of the world. Your roof is a valuable part of your home! Many people have asphalt roofing. Asphalt roofing is still the most popular roofing choice in America. A lot of people have asphalt roofing. Asphalt roofing is still America's most popular choice for roofing. Asphalt roofing is generally chosen for its affordability and a wide variety of colors and appearances.

CURB APPEAL

Curb appeal is the starting point for the value of your home. The home could be priced much higher than the asking price and it is unlikely to stop prospective homebuyers without enough curb appeal.

The truth is that the decaying asphalt roof (which can happen in as little as ten years) due to algae build-up can severely limit appeal. Many homebuyers know what a problem roof looks like. Even if the signs of wear cannot be seen, an inspector who learns that the roof has been in place for 8 or 9 years is likely to convey the age of the roof to prospective homebuyers as well as the fact that this will entail an inevitable replacement of the roof.

How does a new roof affect the return on your investment?

In a 2019 Remodeling Magazine article, it was stated that a new roof could add $14,000-$18,000 to the value of a home. Add the extra curb appeal you get with a new roof and now you're able to see why replacing the roof should be a higher priority on your home project list. Some of the older houses have roofs that include asbestos in the material. As we all know, while widely used decades ago, asbestos poses a major health hazard if people are exposed to it. Therefore, having this professionally removed and replaced with safe materials adds a health value that can not be quantified.

Several factors may have an impact on your return on investment. For example, most contractors will try to avoid layering shingles, as they can reduce the life of the roof by up to 40%. In addition, it will trap heat and add too much weight to the roof. So, if you have a new $5,000 roof over an existing layer of shingles, your return on investment will be lower.

Maintaining the roof periodically will also influence your return on investment over time. For example, if you've just been struck by a big storm, have your contractor come out and do a thorough inspection because minor dings and dents that can be easily repaired now could be a bigger problem later.

We are committed to bringing only the best services and products to your home. If you need a FREE roof inspection on your home please give us a call. Our specialists are meticulous when it comes to identifying current and potential issues with your roof.

How do you know if you need a new roof?

It’s one thing to need a front door replacement. It’s a whole other ball of wax to need a roof replacement. It is a big financial decision, and that’s why it can be easy to put off until the last minute.

However, putting it off until the last minute is not recommended.

Evidence that you need to repair or replace your roof is sometimes subtle and happens over time.

One thing is certain: if you wait until your ceiling starts to turn weird colors or there’s water dripping on your head, you’ve waited too long. By the time roof damage shows itself inside your home, you’ve missed your chance to simply replace your roof. Now you’re going to need to fix the rest of your house, too.

That’s why it’s important to practice regular roof maintenance and look for signs of damage. If you’re seeing any of these five signs, it’s quite possible that you need a roof replacement.

5 things to consider

1. Shingle Condition

Missing or damaged shingles can allow water to pe*****te into the sheathing layers and lead to rot.

Look for uneven shingle lines, curled, loose or torn shingles. If you see your roof sagging, it’s a pretty clear sign the under layer is rotting.

2. Gutters

Gutters play a significant role in keeping water off of your roof and preventing moisture damage to your home. Your roof sheds rainwater to the gutters, so looking closely at your gutters can give you some insight into the health of your roof.

When cleaning the gutters (at least twice per year) look for asphalt granules or pieces of roofing material. This could indicate a deteriorating roof.

3. Flashing

Flashing, with the help of underlayment, keeps water from getting underneath your shingles.

Keep your eyes peeled for rusted or missing flashing around chimneys, vent pipes and at the valley between roof parts. This could allow water to seep into your attic over time.

4. Double Layering

The cheapest (and worst) way to replace a roof is to place a second layer of roofing material over the first one.

Double layering is not the way to replace your roof.

We run into these types of roofing jobs often. Placing a second layer of shingles over an already rotten sheathing will shorten the life of a roof and cost you much more when you need a replacement since two layers of roofing material need to be removed.

Not only does this add a significant amount of weight to your home – it’s almost like having two roofs – but the additional shingle layers will also absorb more heat and can cause premature deterioration.

In the end, you cannot know the full extent of roof damage unless you remove all roofing material down to the sheathing.

5. Age

If your roof was installed properly with good materials, you can expect 12-15 years of life (unless it is subjected to storm damage). If a roof is nearing the end of its useful life, it’s probably time to consider a replacement.

Remember, roof damage only gets worse with time.

Homeowners Beware: Roofing Can Be Dangerous

Roofers are required to come prepared with heavy treaded boots, safety harnesses, ropes and rope grabs, edge guards, thick leather gloves, and hardhats for a reason: roofing can be a very dangerous job.

Roofing is a job that almost everyone requires, but few people are aware of the dangers associated with it. Some people believe that anyone can do the job, but being a full-time roofer requires a high level of toughness and intelligence. The job is both physically and mentally demanding, which is why it was named one of the top ten most dangerous jobs on the planet.

You have a probability of falling from the roof and suffering catastrophic injuries whether the weather is great or it's raining. Even the most experienced roofers have suffered near-fatal falls. Because of the catastrophic damage caused by falling, 34% of roofing injuries end in death. When you're roofing, you're also dealing with a lot of equipment on the roof that might cause you to trip. One of the primary reasons roofing is so hazardous is because of this.

Roof Quality

Roofing is more complicated than simply nailing shingles to the roof deck. In addition to the shingles or tiles, an effective roof system requires adequate ventilation and insulation, a waterproof underlayment, metal flashing, and a good rain gutter system. If all of these components of the roofing system aren’t working perfectly in conjunction with each other, the roof can develop problems.

There are lots of DIY home improvement projects you can tackle to save money, but roofing shouldn’t be one of them.

Let The Professionals Take Care Of Your Roof

Any work on your roof is risky, so please call the professionals when it's time to replace or repair your roof. At Integrity Roofing, we utilize all of the necessary safety equipment and gear to complete the work safely and correctly. We provide residents high-quality, weather-resistant shingles that last for years to come.
