tile straight. Lines to be set 15 ‘’ apart horizontally, except for the
first line which is 16’’ from the bottom of the eve line. Vertical lines

Hurricane season

HURRICANE SEASON HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED : Hurricanes Hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico seen from space.
A hurricane is a type of tropical cyclone or severe tropical storm that
forms in the southern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico,
and in the eastern Pacific Ocean. A typical cyclone is accompanied by
thunderstorms, and in the Northern Hemisphere, a counterclockwise
circulation of wind s near the earth’s surface.
All Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coastal areas are subject to
hurricanes. Parts of the Southwest United States and the Pacific Coast
also experience heavy rains and floods each year from hurricanes spawned
off Mexico. The Atlantic hurricane season lasts from June to November,
with the peak season from mid-August to late October. The Eastern
Pacific hurricane season begins May 15 and ends November 30.
Hurricanes can cause catastrophic damage to coastlines and several
hundred miles inland. Hurricane can produce winds exceeding 155 miles
per hour as well as tornadoes and mircrobursts. Additionally, hurricanes
can create storm surges along the coast and cause extensive damage from
heavy rainfall. Floods and flying debris from the excessive winds are
often the deadly and destructive results of these weather events. Slow
moving hurricanes traveling into mountainous regions tend to produce
especially heavy rain. Excessive rain can trigger landslides or mud
slides. Flash flooding can occur due to intense rainfall. |

Should you repair your roof or replace it
A roof is one of the biggest investments a homeowner can make. By
repairing first, a homeowner can budget and save for the large
replacement expenditure down the road. However, there is also great
comfort in replacing the roof, from the increased aesthetic appeal as
well as the security in knowing that your home and possessions are safe
from water intrusion and its ill effects. The goal of the good quality contractor is to help educate and advise
potential clients so they can make the best decision possible, based on
their roofing needs. If you are considering a repair or replacement, we
recommend the following list of considerations and questions to ask
your roofing contractor prior to deciding which decision is best for
you. 1. How long do you plan to keep the home? 2. How long can you expect the current roof and flashings to last? 3. What are the signs of deterioration the contractor is seeing? 4. If you are selling the home in 1-5 years from now:
5. Has the roofing estimator inspected the entire roof to
address potential leaks/deficiencies, or just the current leak area or
obvious deficiency? The roofer should always inspect the entire roof. 6. What is the likelihood of additional leaks manifesting? If there
are more what would it cost to fix any interior damage weighed against
the cost of doing preventative repairs now? 7. If the repair is performed will it be visible and will it match,
or be a potential eyesore? This matters more if selling the home(most
visible repairs do not match due to weathering and organic growth on the
existing roof covering ; some repairs do weather-in after a few months) 8. Will potential leaking be on your mind if you do not replace the
roof? Has this leak been hard to find? Would you have more peace of mind
with replacing the roof and its age and condition supports this
decision? Finally, seek referrals. Angie’s List, friends, family and roofing
supply stores are great places to seek advice and recommendations.
Precise, detailed estimates, quality service and materials, expert
advice and guidance, balanced intake and exhaust ventilation, fair
pricing, excellent workmanship, attention to safety and first class
customer service, these are things you should expect from your roofing
contractor. |

10 Things to check after high winds

10 Things to check after high winds Certain parts of the country face regular high wind events. Ranging
from moderate gusts to sustained winds, any high winds can bring havoc
to your home’s roof. Most roof systems, if installed properly, are built to easily
withstand common wind events, sustaining little to no damage. However,
it’s usually the less obvious cracked, missing or damaged roof tile or
shingle that causes homeowners the biggest problems with the next
rainstorm. Poor workmanship from a previous roofing contractor and
flying debris are the two leading causes of roof, skylight and gutter
damage in a high wind event. Once winds have passed, we encourage every homeowner to safely walk
their property front to back and inspect their roof, ensuring that
nothing is out of place and there is no visible damage to be seen on the
roof or gutter systems. Pay attention to the details and keep a lookout for anything that
seems amiss. In particular, we recommend looking for these 10 things: 1. Missing or loose roofing tiles or roofing shingles 2. Missing or loose ridge caps and vents 3. Dislodged, loose or clogged gutters 4. Debris that has been blown onto the roof or damaged tree limbs that could possibly fall on the roof and cause future damage 5. Check vent covers to ensure that nothing has been blown off or damaged 6. Inspect skylights and/or solar tubes to ensure they’re not cracked from falling or blown debris 7. Check the attic space for any telltale signs of roof damage, such as daylight shining through 8. Inspect any roof-mounted AC units to ensure no damage was done to the unit or its water lines from flying debris 9. If you have solar panels mounted on your roof, check them for
damage and remove any accumulated debris that may shade them,
diminishing power output 10. If your home features a flat roof, make sure all your roof drains
are free and clear of any debris that may have blown into them. We always recommend that you hire a licensed, qualified roofing company
to complete any roof repair work, particularly if you are uncomfortable
with the dangers associated with working on a sloped roof or unfamiliar
with roofing materials. |
