If you are moving into an older home, you may want to play it safe and have a roofing contractor come out for a free quote. The roofing company should be able to tell you whether or not you need a new roof right now, or if you can wait a few years to replace it. Far and beyond the previous factors, you should know that the climate you live in also has a significant impact on your roof's lifespan. For instance, the following weather conditions could reduce the amount of years your average roof can last, including:

• Sun
• Wind
• Heavy rains
• Snow, hail, and ice
• Traffic (pertinent to commercial buildings)
• Movements in the building's structure
• Temperature fluctuations

Those are just some factors that you can evaluate on your own before your roofing contractor arrives at your house for the thorough inspection.  Need help, just let us know and we can help. We don't charge to inspect and quote. Save large cost by fixing your repairing damages before they become worst.

THE PURPOSE OF GUTTERING SYSTEMS

The purpose of guttering systems is to collect water (rain) from the gutters area and disperse the water away from your home. Properly configured downspouts (leaders, drain pipes) are very essential

A faulty guttering system can contribute to damage to Soffit & Fascia, Shingles, Building Foundations, Driveways, Walkways, Landscaping.

Guttering systems require maintenance to insure protection for your home. Make sure your gutters are free from debris, leaves, granules from shingles, birds nest. The extreme exposure to nature can also cause sealant failures. Snow & Ice can loosen fasteners and should be repaired immediately to prevent costly repairs.

(We always recommend a professional for maintaining your Guttering System, like us!)

Seamless Gutters

There are many different gutter materials to choose from, including steel, aluminum, vinyl, copper. Many types of gutters (steel and vinyl in particular) are sold in 10’ lengths and require dozens of seams fastened with slip fittings, each one is a weak spot and a potential leak site. Another alternative well worth considering is the installation of seamless aluminum gutters. Seamless gutters must be fabricated on-site by a professional contractor, something that we here at Above All Roofing do.

The term seamless gutters can be confusing because there are seams in the system. The seams are only at the corners and downspout outlets.These joints are fastened more securely and sealed for stability and leak resistance. The Seamless Gutter itself is continuous which makes them both strong and visually more appealing.

Summer Roof Days!

Don't Feel Down in the Gutter

Did you know that just an inch of a summer rainfall pours close to 1500 gallons of water onto your roof? That’s why the performance of your gutters is so important to protecting your home. Waterfalls flowing over your gutters during a summer rainfall are a strong indication that you have clogged gutters – and clogged gutters can lead to some expensive home repairs.

Your home’s gutters and downspouts are designed to move water down from the roof and away from your home and foundation for proper drainage. Water that can’t flow through your gutters finds the easiest path – and that often means the water comes right into your ceiling and walls.

This can lead to moisture and mold if not treated. This may especially occur to homes left vacant while you  are away on your summer trip.

Invest the time to call Above All Roofing, and allow us to check and make any necessary repairs to you gutter and downspouts. W service of all Solano County including Vacaville.

Calling All New Home Buyers In The Solano County

Planning on buying a new home? 



If you are in the process of purchasing a new home chances are it will be inspected by an appraiser, especially If you plan on purchasing via an FHA loan. Home buying inspections are usually conducted during escrow, and are geared to ensure the minimum requirements for what is considered a safe home are met, before it can be inhabited.

So what is the appraiser looking for when it comes to the roof? For starters, the roof must do what it's designed to do--FHA and HUD regulations say it must not leak or allow moisture to enter the home. in order to pass the appraisal process, the roof must also "provide reasonable future utility, durability and economy of maintenance" according to the FHA official site.

Rule of thumb is to not assume your roof is great condition because it passed an appraisal. If in doubt hire a professional to inspect your and determine how many years of your roof's life are remaining.

Start off the journey to your new home purchase in Vacaville, or surrounding towns, by calling the professionals at Above All Roofing, and allow us to inspect your roof. We will fix what it needs... no more, no less.

Vacaville Homes Ventilation Requirements

Poor Attic Ventilation Can Ruin Your Insulation, Destroy Your Shingles, And Raise Your Energy Bills!

Proper attic ventilation systems allow a continual flow of outside air through the attic, protecting the efficiency of the insulation and helping to lower temperatures in the living space. Not only is poor attic ventilation a health hazard for families living in warm client zones, like Solano county, proper attic ventilation is also recommended by the U.S. FHA.

It is estimated that 9 out of 10 homes in North America do not have proper attic ventilation. Why? Because most people are unaware that attic ventilation can impact the durability of their entire home. In the summer, improper ventilation can cause attic heat to build in excess of 160°F. This highly-heated air eventually permeates the ceiling insulation into the living area below.

Is your roof properly ventilated? Give us a call today for a free analysis to determine your roof's ventilation requirements.
