  • Featured Project: New Roofing & Skylights Installation in Middletown, Delaware

    Featured Project: New Roofing & Skylights Installation in Middletown, Delaware

    Today, we’re featuring a re-roofing project in Middletown, Delaware. This was a beautiful house with a deteriorating shingle roof the homeowners were ready to replace. The old roof was only 20 years old but had extensive hail and wind damage and was steadily leaking in a couple of locations, including around skylights and in roof valleys.

    We replaced the old shingles with GAF Lifetime Timberline HD Shingles, starting off with GAF Shingle Mate underlayment for superior quality roof deck protection. GAF, a company that’s been around for over 100 years, offers offers #1-selling shingles that are durable, practically priced and provide genuine wood shake look for a fraction of the cost.

  • 5 Steps To An Effective Winter Roofing Maintenance

    5 Steps To An Effective Winter Roofing Maintenance

    5 Steps To An Effective Winter Roofing Maintenance

    While roof maintenance may be the last thing on your mind during the chilly weather, one could make the case that roof care is more important in winter than at any other time of year. This is largely due to the threat of ice dams, which can wreak havoc on your roof and attic and cause major damage.

    5 Steps To An Effective Winter Roofing Maintenance

    Here is a winter roof maintenance checklist to help you cover your bases:

    1. Inspect your gutters regularly for signs of ice dams and icicles forming. Large icicles hanging off your gutters are the telltale sign of ice dams, but they aren’t always this conspicuous. Additionally, if too much ice builds up, gutters can become too heavy and rip away from the home, leaving you with damage and hefty gutter repair bills. If you find any ice dams blocking your down spouts, remove them right away.
    2. Clogged gutters and downspouts can’t channel water and snowmelt away from your home which can lead to serious damage. Ensure your downspouts and fascia are not clogged by ice, snow or other debris such as stray branches or dead leaves. And while you’re at it, inspect your downspouts for any leaks or signs of excessive wear.
    3. Scan your roofing surface for any sign of wind damage. If heavy winds accompany a winter storm, make a visual inspection of your roof once the weather calms down to see if any shingles have come loose or gone missing. Missing, broken, or bruised roof materials can lead to a variety of problems in your home, including leaks, mold and mildew. These will need to be replaced promptly to prevent leaks and other problems associated with shingle gaps.
    4. Use a roof rake to remove excess snow buildups on your rooftop. As a general rule of thumb, more than one foot of snow could potentially cause damage. However, to be on the safe side, some experts recommend raking any accumulation greater than six inches off your roof. Never stand on an icy roof! Rake the roof from a ladder, and make sure that someone is home or nearby when you are on the ladder. 
    5. If you haven’t already and weather conditions still permit, apply a weatherproof coating to all parts of your roof with gentle or even slopes. This will help you avoid roof leaks down the road.

  • 6 Steps to Shingle Roofing Maintenance

    6 Steps to Shingle Roofing Maintenance

    5 Steps to Shingle Roofing Maintenance - All Roofing Solutions

    Regardless of the type of material covering your roof, roofing maintenance is something a homeowner can’t ignore. Your roof’s ability to protect your home, as well as its durability and lifespan, depends on regular inspection, maintenance and repair. Left unattended, minor roof maintenance issues can lead to roof leaks and thus become big, costly headaches.

    Asphalt shingles, the most common material in residential roofing today, require occasional maintenance as well – all fall is the best time to handle your yearly inspection.

    6 Steps to Shingle Roofing Maintenance

    Here are 6 important steps in maintaining healthy shingle roofing:

    1. Clear debris, moss & algae from your roof. Leaves, twigs, trash and other miscellaneous debris tends to soak up water and can damage your shingles. Your roof is designed to channel water away from your home, and excess debris makes this task more difficult. You’ll want to check for debris on a regular basis.
    2. Check flashings for damage, corrosion, or holes that may need repair or replacement.
    3. Loose or damaged shingles can be a common problem. Over time, high winds, hail, tree branches and other debris can take a toll on shingle roofing. Often, a little roofing cement may be all that’s needed to repair a loose shingle tab. If the shingle is damaged, you’ll want to have it replaced.
    4. Check caulking/sealants around the roof for cracking or other damage. Old, worn sealants should be replaced before water seepage causes problems.
  • Flat Roofing Repairs v. Replacement: Making The Right Call

    Flat Roofing Repairs v. Replacement: Making The Right Call

    Flat Roofing Repairs v. Replacement: Making The Right Call

    If you have a low-slope roof or flat roof, you need to make special considerations when you’re faced with a “repair or replace” dilemma.

    Flat roofs have their pros and cons. They are often easy and much cheaper to install comparable to tile or cedar roofing.  At the same time, they tend to be difficult to maintain and pricey to repair. Making the right call – whether to repair or replace – can be hard, so it’s a good idea to call an experienced roofing contractor for help.

    Flat Roofing Repairs v. Replacement: Making The Right Call

    A number of factors contribute to the inevitable degradation of a flat roof, including sun and shade exposure, the type of flat roof material, and the overall structural integrity of the house, itself. Flat roofs also demand intricate flashing at the points where they join the outer walls of the house, and if this flashing was not properly installed, it can break down quickly and cause leaks.

    First, consider the average lifespans of materials commonly used in flat roofs:

    • Modified Bitumen/Tarpaper/Asphalt BUR: 10 to 12 years
    • PVC/TPO: 20 to 30 years
    • EPDM synthetic rubber: 25 to 30 years
    Flat Roofing Repairs v. Replacement: Making The Right Call

    Thus, if you’re having problems with your tarpaper roof, it could just be that the material has reached the end of its lifespan and needs to be replaced. It typically isn’t worthwhile to repair a roof that is up for replacement or will be within the next three to five years.

    It’s always a good idea to get an expert opinion when it comes to a “repair or replace” roofing dilemma. Having an experienced roofing contractor make a thorough inspection of your roof to diagnose its problems and make a recommendation makes the most sense, considering that most homeowners lack the detailed knowledge and technical expertise required to make an accurate diagnosis.

    If you do choose to replace your flat roof, there are several things you can do to protect it. Applying a reflective coating will extend its life, as this will inhibit the effects of sun exposure. If you have tar paper or asphalt roof, you should apply roofing tar every few years to ensure your roof stays watertight.
